Hello,
Thank you for your query, and we are so sorry about the trouble this must have caused.
We understand you are referring to structured data (schema markup) for SEO purposes, specifically for Google Search Rich Results.
Using schema markup on your product category page helps search engines better understand the content on your page and provides more detailed information in the search results.
It can lead to improved click-through rates and better visibility for your website.
However, it’s important to note that schema markup doesn’t guarantee that your product category will show up as a rich result in Google Search.
Google uses several factors to determine if a page is eligible for rich results, including the quality and relevance of the content, as well as the specific schema properties you’ve implemented.
Regarding the warning message you mentioned, it suggests that at least one of the properties, “offers,” “review,” or “aggregateRating” should be specified in your product schema markup.
We request you share the affected URL with us, so we can investigate the issue further and provide the necessary steps to resolve this.
To answer your question about what the schema of the product category page does, it provides search engines with additional information about the items listed on your category page, helping them better understand and index your content.
Using the appropriate schema properties, you can communicate specific details about your products, such as their name, description, price, availability, and ratings.
Using schema markup on your product category page can enhance your website’s visibility in search results by providing search engines with more detailed information about your products.
