The site we're building contains several thousand company profiles with each profile containing numerous sub-topics of information driven by our dbase. Wondering what is the optimal URL structure from an SEO perspective of the choices outlined below given that we'll have thousands of such profiles? If none of the below, open to other suggestions. Option 1 * www.xyz.com/tesla-motors * www.xyz.com/tesla-motors/management-team * www.xyz.com/tesla-motors/products * www.xyz.com/tesla-motors/financial-performance Option 2 * www.xyz.com/tesla-motors * www.xyz.com/tesla-motors-management-team * www.xyz.com/tesla-motors-products * www.xyz.com/tesla-motors-financial-performance Option 3 & 4 same as above but in a directory called companies * www.xyz.com/companies/tesla-motors/management-team (option 3) * www.xyz.com/companies/tesla-motors-management-team (option 4) I believe it is option 2 as the keywords are prominent and close to the main domain name, but I've seen lots of conflicting advice so hoping someone can help. Thanks.
www.xyz.com/companies/tesla-motors/management-team (option 3) this is quite good for you if you have content on www.xyz.com/companies/ - about all companies www.xyz.com/companies/tesla-motors/ - about tesla motors
