This is such a basic question, I know, but could anyone please suggest me - I have a site where all the webpages are maintained on the root of the site. The site offers 4 main services. An example of navigation provided is as under - Service 1 page 1 page 2 page 3 Service 2 Page 4 Page 5 page 6 and so on... At present, the service 1, service 2 and all the pages under them are stored on the root. Should I maintain page 1, page 2, page 3 under a separate folder 'Service 1' which is also a good keyword - or should I leave them as is on the root. Which method would help in SEO? Thanks in advance.
it would be much better to keep page1 2 and 3 under Service 1 folder. This way the crawlers will categorize your pages better. You could use Wordpress for this. Your posts can be put under several categories easily
Sava is right. Keep your pages under in service1 folder. It looks much categorized if you put it in one folder.
using your page 1 and page 2 near your root folder like sitename.com/page-1 is better because shorter urls will help your seo
