My site's index page is: https://danscartoons.com and my blog page is: https://danscartoons.com/toonblog/ and this is my question....if I want my category pages to rank better than they already are ranking in the search results, will a specific blog post about a page like this one: https://danscartoons.com/cartoon-category/construction (on the "toonblog" page) help to get it on say, the first page of the search results? I ask this since I can't figure out how to get that cartoon-category/construction page to show up on the first page of Google.....so am curious.
I have almost 62 other inside category pages similar to the cartoon-category/construction page. I was thinking of writing a post about construction humor and how adding cartoons in a prospective client's publishing project would assist them, then use the Yoast plugin to add a keyword title, add a text hyperlink to the cartoon-category/construction page from within the toonblog post?
Any insights appreciated and I would appreciate your insights................

    No it won't rank.

    There is no unique content on the category page to give Google a reason to rank it.

    If you want to drive traffic to those pages to sell those specific cartoon types you need content on the category pages talking about what you are offering.

    Otherwise, focus on ranking each cartoon page and worry about usability of your site to move people off the individual cartoon pages and onto your large set category set pages.

    Just a heads up. An seo factor is the bounce rate of your site.

    I visited your site, also read your post and I wanted to leave the site because of the lack of paragraphs. Try to make your site easier on the eyes -> less bounce rate -> better rankings.
