Good day everyone, Nowadays I am stuck with my website due to some errors which I am unable to solve myself therefore, I am unable to publish new articles.
I decided to utilize this time to revise some basic things. After tested with SEOptimer I felt like I am having too many overlapping categories.
How many categories should I actually have? And honestly, I’d love some real advice from people who’ve already gone through this.
What I’m Confused About
- Should I stick to 5–6 main categories only?
- Is it okay to go beyond that if my content grows?
- Should product reviews be a separate category or part of others?

What I’m Trying to Achieve
I don’t just want my site to “look organized.”
I want:
- Better SEO structure
- Easy navigation for visitors
- Clear content grouping
- Higher chances of ranking
So I’m trying to get this right early instead of fixing it later.
How many categories do you recommend?
I’m still learning, and I want to build this the right way from the beginning.I’m open to suggestions 🙌
I hope your suggestions will help other beginners too therefore, I want common suggestions not niche specific suggestions
