What a shopper can't do
A veneer buyer arrives knowing three things: the species, the cut, and how they'll apply it (the backer). Today the category strips two of those away, and every species page it can't generate is a long-tail search Oakwood can't answer.
Price and Quality only
Title promises 300+ species. No intro copy, two subcategory links, 18 cards × 6 pages. /edgebanding/ is Price only.
The five facets buyers use
Plus category intro copy and species landing pages carrying Product + FAQ schema. Each combination is a URL that answers “rift-cut white oak, paper back, 4×8.”
“We ordered from a customer service agent as the website was not ideal for us”
