      1.) I need a suggestion from you, please help.

      How should be the Directory/URL structure if I am offering servicves in many cities of UK/US.

      /<service>/
      /<service>/<state>/
      /<service>/<state>/<city>/

      OR

      /<service>/
      /<state>/<service>/
      /<state>/<city>/<service>/

      Thanks for your time.</service></city></state></service></state></service></city></state></service></state></service></service>

      1. What exactly mean by 'URL enforce writer' to rewrite the URL.

        Go to Google Keyword Suggestion Tool (first result: http://www.google.com/search?q=google+keyword+suggestion+tool)

        Type into the keyword list your options. For example, if the service is "electrician" then try...

        chicago electrician

        electrician chicago

        chicago il electrician

        electrician chicago il

        Then choose "Only show ideas closely related to my search term" and "exact match" on the left hand side.

        Run the report. Do this for several cities and, in a spread sheet, determine which ordering gets the most exact match traffic. Use that directory structure for your whole site.

        • I am not sure what "url enforce writer" means.

        • Keep our category navigation in tree structure but move our URLs to a more flat structure. Good plan?
