Which URL structure holds the best SEO value?

[JCorp]

Hello Community!

We are rewriting URLs to better rank and provide better visual usability to our visitors.

Would it be better to serve a URL that looks like this:

www.domain.com/category-subcategory

or

www.domain.com/category/subcategory

Please note the slight difference--the 2nd URL calls out a category that has a subcategory under it. Would it give us more value? Does it make a difference?

Thanks in advance!

My own preference is to try and add folders as with the second option because for visuals, it is easier to see where you are.

In terms of SEO benefit, it is unlikely one will give you more than another. This will be predominately dominated by your content and paying attention to basics (Meta, etc.)
