Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.
We use the Pillar Content option for internal linking and this feature uses the categories to show the link suggestions in the posts and products. It doesn’t really affect the performance of the posts or products in the SERPs and is only used for internal linking.
So, marking a category as the pillar content will not improve its performance in the SERPs if you don’t have internal linking for it.
Here’s a link for more information:

Hope that helps.
Thank you.
Reinelle,
It seems that you did not understand what was my point. I WANT to use the “Pillar Contents” feature, but when I go to a category page, I dont see the check mark THIS.
Thanks,
Najm

It also seems you did not read my question clearly. Of course, it is a post, I am talking about woocommerce as I mentioned in my questions
unable to find the [check mark] to mark a Woocommerce Category as a Pillar Content.
I mean how can I even explain more?
Hello,
We apologize for the confusion but pillar content can’t be used for categories or any other taxonomy pages.
The categories are usually thin content so we only allow pillar content for posts, pages, or CPTs that uses categories as already mentioned here: https://support.rankmath.com/ticket/use-woocommerce-category-as-a-pillar-content/?view=all#post-507658
Hope this clarifies any doubts.
Thank you.
