Hi Xavier, 

thanks for this valuable feedback!

I wasn't aware of SEO redirection module, it as I generally watch in 14.0, sometimes on 12.0 repositories, I see the module it's stuck on v10 but good to know that something like this exists.

We are currently supporting our website with another infrastructure and planning to switch to Odoo soon. About the analytics, from what I have been told a consistent amount of our customers search specific products by submitting the internal reference of the product in the search box and our current "Home" isn't too different compared to the /shop page served by Odoo standard + OCA with the addition of a bunch of modules. 

I generally like to design new widgets and templates, in this specific case though I think I will follow your first advice and map the /shop into the domain, or similar solution, really good to know it's not relevant for SEO.

Thank you very much

Hi
The obvious way is by setting your home url in the web server (domain.tld/shop). You can also use an OCA module "website SEO redirection" that let you redirect any url.

But you may find more interesting to keep your home as is and add some useful widgets like featured products, new products, products more often buy, sales, etc. Regarding categories the mega menu will do the same.

In any case, this is not bad for SEO.

Anyway, don't forget to keep an eye on your website analytics. Because most visitors comes directly on a product page. So this question about home or shop is mostly irelevant.

Hope this help
Xavier
