Defining your Site's Hierarchy for SEO

Google allows a maximum of 5 levels of hierarchy on your site, not including your domain. This means your hierarchical structure cannot exceed the following format: www.mydomain.com/great-grandparent/grandparent/parent/child/grandchild.

No. It's not possible to define a hierarchy for pages that are part of Wix apps, for example, Product pages, Blog pages or Members Area pages etc. This is because these pages already have their own predefined hierarchical structure in place.

No. Your homepage by default always assumes the highest position in your site's hierarchy. This means you can't position your homepage to be a child of another page.

You can, however, set a new homepage, but keep in mind that this will flatten the URL of any child pages assigned to it. For example, a URL for a child page with a parent like www.mydomain.com/parent/child will flatten to www.mydomain.com/child.

You can remove a page as a parent by setting the homepage of your site to be the parent instead. For example, a URL for a child page with a parent like www.mydomain.com/parent/child will flatten to www.mydomain.com/child.

If you delete a parent page, the URL of any child pages assigned to that parent will flatten. For example, a URL for a child page with a parent like www.mydomain.com/parent/child will flatten to www.mydomain.com/child.

Yes. You can define your multilingual site's hierarchy by setting up parent-child relationships between pages in your site's main language. Keep in mind that it is not possible to set up site hierarchies per individual language. The hierarchy you set for your main language applies to all secondary languages.

If you have your own custom domain, traffic will be automatically redirected to both the new URL and its child pages' URLs. If you don't have your own custom domain, you will have to manually create 301 redirects in the URL Redirect Manager for the relevant pages.
