Yes that was the question, thank you.

It is correct that for example 1 sub-category with the exact same list of products appears in 2 differents categories (but with a unique URL).
So as you say in the second part of your first paragraph I should merge them or 301 redirect one of the categories to the other.

If I understood your answer right, would it be better to choose 1 category (let's call it category1) as a "father" for this sub-category ?
And maybe create a 301 redirection link for this sub-category that would be present in the second category (category2) ?

Thank you,

Max

Hello,

I think this question relates to "Parent pages" structure or SILO but I couldn't find an answer online.

For a website that sell products, for example "Appliances". A link to this page appears in 1 category of the menu named "kitchen" but also in another 1 category named "household appliances".

It means that it appears twice in the menu but with a unique URL.

Would that affect SEO ? Is it duplicate content ? And would it be better to choose 1 father or let it that way ?

Thanks for your help.
