I’m looking to organize my site content more effectively by building out city and neighborhood pages nested under each county or community.
For example, I want a structure like:
/loudoun-county/
/loudoun-county/ashburn/
/loudoun-county/leesburg/
/loudoun-county/brambleton/
Each of those city or neighborhood pages would have IDX snippets, blog content, local images, and SEO-rich descriptions. I’d also like to eventually add things like market stats, school data, and maps per page.
Can someone please walk me through:
The best way to create this kind of hierarchy using the REW backend?
Whether I should be using custom pages, categories, or communities for this?
How to ensure these pages are SEO-optimized and linked correctly from the main navigation or sidebar?
How others are managing the URL structure to avoid duplicate content or broken breadcrumbs?
I’m aiming to build out multiple counties (Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William, etc.) each with their own city and neighborhood sections.
Thanks in advance for your help — any examples or documentation would be appreciated!
Lots of articles on here on how to create effective SEO pages - and glad to see you’re diving in my friend!
In terms of architecture in the backend, you want to use the assign to main page -
In this example - “Horne Lake” is a sub page of Central Vancouver Island (which is a main page)
Personally, I don’t really care about the nested URL’s in terms of structure (vs a flat structure) and it does not have an impact on the ability for those pages to rank (Google doesn’t rank you better with nested URL’s)
Also @sammiho just curious (please post here if you know the answer) does Renaissance install by default support nested URL (/main/sub/) if a client does prefer that structure?
