Understanding site hierarchy
Your site's hierarchy, meaning its structure, helps search engines like Google understand how your site is organized, and the relationship between pages. Search engines tend to rank pages higher in search results that are closest in relation to your homepage, so it's important to position your pages correctly within your hierarchy.
Defining a hierarchical site structure requires setting up a parent - child relationship between your site's main pages. A parent page is a top-level page with child pages nested under it. Your site's hierarchy is represented through URLs.
For example, you could set your parent page to be "About Our Customers" and a child page to be "Customer Stories". The URL for this structure may look like this: www.mydomain.com/about-our-customers/customer-stories.
Defining your site's hierarchy
You can adjust the relationship and positioning of your site's main pages (Editor pages) from the SEO Basics panel in the Editor. Begin by selecting the page you want to become a child page, and then choose its parent.
To set a page as a parent page:
- Go to your page's SEO settings:
- Click Menus & Pages
on the left side of the Editor. - Click the More Actions icon
next to the page you want to become a child page. - Click SEO Basics.
- Click Menus & Pages
- Click the Parent page (site hierarchy) drop-down and select a parent page.
