Your site needs to have a clearly defined structure, because without it, it’ll just be a random collection of pages and blog posts. Structuring your website is crucial for both usability and findability. Many sites lack a sound structure to guide visitors to the product they’re looking for. Having a clear site structure also helps Google understand your site, so it’s incredibly important for your SEO. The first thing you should do in order to get a great site structure is divide the blog posts or product pages on your site into categories. Each post must be attached to at least one category. For example, categories for a blog can be ‘Books’, ‘Food’, ‘Music’, and ‘Travel’. In this example, the category ‘Books’ could be subdivided into the subcategories ‘Fiction books’ and ‘Nonfiction books’. Each category should be about the same size. Adding tags will also help your site structure. Tags are similar to categories, but they are generally used to describe your post in more detail. Tags exist in their own right and have no set relationship to anything else, so they can’t be arranged in a hierarchy. The use of tags is entirely optional.
