FAQ

Why use a category page?

These pages target searches such as "smart plugs not showing in Alexa" or "smart locks not responding in HomeKit" even when no brand is mentioned.

Are all models affected equally?

No. Category pages are a discovery layer; model and brand pages should later provide more precise instructions.
