The direct answer

Breadcrumbs should help a visitor understand where the guide belongs. Internal template names or unrelated location labels obscure that path.

A practical check

Read the visible breadcrumb and compare its links with the page hierarchy. Check the associated structured data for matching destinations and labels.

Choosing the next step

Use a short, meaningful path to the content collection and current guide. Do not invent intermediate categories that have no useful destination.
