Google’s John Mueller said that the search engine does not classify the type of site you are based on the technology platform or infrastructure it uses. So if you use WordPress for your site, it doesn’t mean Google will say your site is a blog. If you use WooCommerce, Google won’t automatically say your site is e-commerce related.

John said Google determines what your site’s intent is about based on the content on the page and how that page is structured. But Google does not base that on the infrastructure you use.

John was asked this at the 43:22 mark:

John said “we don’t classify websites based on the infrastructure that they use.” “You can use essentially an e-commerce site set up for posting your blog posts if you want. It’s probably not very suitable for things like that but you could if you wanted to. And if we see that we will say well this page has a lot of content on this specific topic we will rank this page based on this content,” John added.
