Problem often with blog post is, when they are informational intent they will have way much lower conversion rate then an product page/ post.
I often see that these high ranking amazon categories not have many backlinks sometimes zero,I wondering but they have tons of IL links. This is why categories ranking high in the serps, an individual post/ page not has much IL links.
Let's say you wrote an commercial intent blog post about Samsung Notebook 007x model best for office? Or something long tail...(not exist but it's an example) .....
So when you do it properly it will rank good in google page 1, but above you there sits the amazon samsung notebook category, why you ask......easy= does your individual product post has tons of IL links? This is topical centered authority.
Maybe you can do it with multiple subdomains from your main domain, so you have the keyword in the domain.
Or make it like the big guys with multiple separate domains complete niche down on emd domains, build on the main domain a contenthub+ categories , articles, then linking in the footer to all your multiple domain micro niche stores and (woocommerce, prestashop) or your micro store affiliate sites. But pssss, psssss..........better than an emd domain is an evocational domain name/ site name.
When I try on wordpress to build a cetagory with a page insetad of category then all the gutenberg pagination blocks not work.......but this function they have only on their wordpress.com VIP plan............I hope this rings a bell for you, they not give you this opportunity for free. Maybe pagination with the elementor will work, but use elementor only on your Home page, because when have it on all your pages this thing will slowdown your whole wordpress site performance.
The web today is so individual like you, you have the choice. I think be little bit other than the rest , not make the same ususal content structure/ site structure or links make a new twist.
Why I can not add emojis here ?
