In the pack: ChatGPT, Claude & Gemini Prompts for SEO Specialists
Faceted Navigation and Pagination Review From URL Examples
Prompt
Site: {{SITE_DESCRIPTION}}
Which filtered or paginated pages, if any, should be indexable and why: {{INDEXING_GOAL}}
Example URLs (URL | what it shows | status code | canonical | meta robots):
{{FACET_URL_EXAMPLES}}
Crawl or log data on these URL patterns, if any (pattern | count of URLs or requests):
{{CRAWL_COUNTS}}
Rules:
- Use only the examples and counts pasted; invent no URL counts.
- Based on Google's guidance on faceted navigation: crawlers may fetch very many faceted URLs, leaving less time for new pages; robots.txt disallow is listed for URLs you do not want in search; rel=canonical may reduce crawling of non-canonical versions over time but is less effective long term; URL fragments do not affect crawling; for filters you want indexed, keep filter order consistent with no duplicates and return 404 for combinations with no results.
- Note that blocking a URL in robots.txt stops Google seeing a noindex or canonical on it.
- Recommend per URL pattern: allow and index, allow and canonicalise, block from crawling, or return 404. Explain the trade-off.
Output:
1. A table: URL pattern | example | recommendation | reason | risk.
2. Changes for developers.
3. A test plan to measure crawl change.
