      1 – www.company.com/subfolder/subfolder/keyword-keyword-product (I’m able to keyword match with this url)

      or

      2. www.company.com/subfolder/subfolder/product  (no url keyword match)

      What would you choose? A url which is "short" but still relevant, or, a url which is more descriptive allowing “keyword” match?

      Be great to get your feedback guys.

      Many thanks

      Gary

        Hi, I'll choose the short url and put keywords in title, description and content. If possible choose only 1 subfolder.

        Grtz, Leonie

          My thoughts also. We're limiting to 2 sub folders to allow everything to be more manageable, plus naturally this contributes to keyword targeting.

          Thanks Leonie
