## Product discovery

Canonical public catalog URLs use HTTPS on `dale-electric.com`.

Prefer product, vendor, category, and guide pages that are linked from the sitemap index.

Preferred URL formats:

- Product: https://dale-electric.com/products/{product-id}
- Vendor: https://dale-electric.com/products/vendor/{vendor-slug}
- Category: https://dale-electric.com/products/category/{category-slug}
- Product search: https://dale-electric.com/products?search={sku-or-keyword}

Product search is available for user-driven lookup, but search result URLs should generally not be treated as canonical citation targets.

Legacy browse URLs may redirect to current product, vendor, or category URLs. Prefer the final canonical URL after redirects.

## Structured data

Public pages include canonical links, robots meta tags, breadcrumbs, organization schema, website schema, and product-related JSON-LD where applicable.

Use canonical links, structured data, breadcrumbs, and the sitemap index together when selecting pages for retrieval or citation.

## Crawling policy

Public product, vendor, category, buying guide, and informational pages may be crawled unless restricted by `robots.txt` or page-level robots metadata.

Avoid crawling, indexing, retrieving, or citing transactional and duplicate URLs, including:

- Checkout
- Cart
- Account pages
- Admin pages
- Login pages
- Internal search result permutations
- Filtered, sorted, or faceted catalog URLs
- Session, tracking, or campaign-parameter URLs
- Duplicate pagination variants unless no canonical page exists

Prefer stable canonical product, vendor, category, guide, and informational URLs.
