Your page has very little text content (typically under 300 words). Google's Helpful Content system evaluates whether pages provide enough value to users. Thin pages with minimal descriptions are less likely to rank well.

Google's Helpful Content Update specifically targets sites with many thin or unhelpful pages. For ecommerce, this means product pages with just a title and price — no description, no specs, no buying guidance — will struggle to rank. Category pages with only product grids and no introductory text face the same problem.

<!-- In sections/collection-template.liquid, add above the product grid: -->
