Core Answer: Wrong out-of-stock handling loses 67% of search traffic. Proper handling preserves SEO value and redirects users to alternatives.

一、缺货页面的SEO风险

很多电商卖家在产品缺货时直接删除页面或返回404——这是最大的SEO错误。

不要删除页面或返回404。保留页面，显示“临时缺货”标签

Product Schema中更新availability为OutOfStock

提供到货通知功能，收集用户邮箱

永久下架产品使用301重定向到最相关替代品

Should I delete out-of-stock pages?

No. Deletion loses search traffic. Keep page, show out-of-stock status + alternative products.

Does out-of-stock affect AI citations?

Yes. Schema showing OutStock means AI engines won't recommend. Update Schema and recommend alternatives.
