How Do You Plan Categories for Large eCommerce Sites?

Hi everyone,

I’m in the early stages of building an eCommerce site that will eventually have hundreds of products across multiple categories. I want to make sure the category structure is user-friendly, scalable, and easy to maintain as the inventory grows. I’ve noticed that some developers work closely with an eCommerce SEO company during the build phase to ensure the structure is not only good for shoppers but also search-friendly. How do you usually approach category planning for large stores? Any best practices or examples would be great.
