eCommerce Product Categorization Services: FAQs

When a product could fit into multiple categories, our eCommerce data classification experts use a combination of category hierarchy and search intent analysis to determine the most relevant primary category. They analyze historical search data, competitor positioning, and conversion patterns to ensure that products are classified in the most appropriate categories. Where platforms support it, we also add secondary categories or use parent-child relationships to ensure the product appears in multiple relevant searches without causing confusion.

For SKUs with incomplete or poor-quality source data, our eCommerce product categorization process begins with an initial audit. We identify classification gaps, inconsistencies, and errors, and then standardize and enrich product data (attributes) by cross-referencing with authoritative sources, including manufacturer specifications, industry-standard databases, and competitor listings.

Our eCommerce product classification approach involves understanding both the parent product category and variant-specific attributes that differentiate child products. We establish parent-level categorization, then map variant-specific attributes (size, color, material, and specifications) that inherit from the parent classification while maintaining individual product identities. For bundles and kits, we create clear associations between the main product and its components, ensuring that the catalog reflects how customers will search for and view these combinations.

Yes. Our eCommerce data categorization team can reclassify your existing catalog without disrupting live listings through a careful, phased implementation process. First, we conduct a detailed audit of your current catalog, identifying areas for improvement. Then, we apply the classification changes in stages to prevent any sudden disruptions.

The timeline for categorizing your entire product catalog depends on its size and complexity. For smaller catalogs, the process can be completed within a few weeks, while large or complex catalogs may take longer. We provide accurate timelines for eCommerce product data classification projects after an initial consultation.
