Product catalogs are often overlooked as a conversion lever in ecommerce. Poor taxonomy, incomplete attributes, and unscalable manual tagging silently degrade search relevance, filter usability, and personalization. A 'catalog rehab' approach treats taxonomy (structure), enrichment (depth), and AI tagging (scale) as one integrated system. Fixing taxonomy means aligning category structures with shopper intent rather than internal logic. Enrichment means completing and normalizing attributes so shoppers can make confident decisions. AI tagging — ideally with human-in-the-loop governance — handles scale that manual processes cannot. When these three pillars work together, they create a reinforcing flywheel that drives cumulative gains in search relevance, filter usage, PDP engagement, and ultimately a 20%+ conversion lift.
