Optimizing your site structure should be an important aspect of your SEO strategy. A good site structure is of crucial importance for your SEO, as it makes it easier for both your users and Google to navigate your site. But how do you improve a site’s structure? Where do you start and how do you keep an eye on the structure of your site if it’s growing? In this post, I’ll teach you to improve your site’s structure in 4 simple steps.
Why improve your site structure?
Google follows links. And these links are also part of a great site structure. If a URL gets many links (whether it’s internal or external links), it must be an important page and search engines might rank it higher. But you shouldn’t just place links for Google. Readers also love sites that are easy to navigate and show suggested readings that make sense. That’s why it’s time to invest a bit in your site structure!
Step 1: Update and improve your cornerstones
Your cornerstone content consists of the most important articles on your site. The ones you want people to read; the ones you want to rank with in Google. They should be the most complete and well-written articles on your website. In this first step, you should take a closer look at them. Are they really of outstanding quality? Informative and easy to read? If not, start improving them!
If you use Yoast SEO, you should check the box in the Yoast SEO sidebar for all your cornerstone content articles:
