Implemented functions
From the product configurator to AI-friendly search engine optimization — all components are interconnected and designed for conversion and visibility:
Configurable color products
Each hairpiece is designed as a variable product (a main item with color variations). The hair color is selected via swatches—a clear list with color names, so the right shade is immediately recognizable.
Quick Buy & Express Checkout
Quick shop on start and category pages plus express payment via Klarna, PayPal and Amazon Pay — short paths from product to completed order.
Multilingual shop (WPML)
Products, categories, and content have been translated (DE/EN) and cleanly linked using hreflang. English category pages have their own titles, texts, and FAQs for international discoverability.
Elegant product pages
Modernized single-product view: Color swatches as a scannable list with name, quantity and "Add to Cart" in a row, trust badges and a collapsible "More Info" block below the gallery.
SEO, GEO & AI optimization
Optimized titles, meta descriptions and H1 structure, editorial category guides with FAQs and targeted internal linking — formulated in such a way that content can also be cited by AI response systems.
Structured data (Schema.org)
JSON-LD for products (price, availability, GTIN, VAT), FAQ pages and breadcrumbs — for rich search results and clear machine readability of the product range.
Google Shopping Feed
Automatic product feed (updated hourly) with brand, category, GTIN, price and availability, connected to the Google Merchant Center for Shopping ads.
Legally compliant and GDPR-compliant
Germanized ensures accurate pricing, shipping, and return information for the German market. Cookie consent and a GDPR-compliant Mailchimp newsletter integration are included.
