301 a whole subdomain to main domain

[advertisingtech]

Hello,

we have our website in two languages. The subdomain cs. for czech and main domain for english.

Somehow this has caused google not to rank our main domain in local CZ SERP for many english keywords and we have not found out a reason other than it might think of them as duplicates or that we at the start had put targeting for the cs. domain to CZECH. (Its been 4 months, english keywords in Czech serp are easier and still it ranks them on the very last place, yet for example.com ranks them in google.com co.uk, fr etc in top 10)

We will close our cs.example.com subdomain and use only example.com hoping this will not cause google to display only one domain and raise it in CZECH rankings.

**Can i 301 redirect cs.example.com to example.com and all the categories of cs.example.com to relevant english categories. This should be ok? **

I don't understand what the problem is. You have a domain and a subdomain. Do you use href lang? If so, how do you use it? Also, do you rank with your main domain in czeck rankings? From what I understand you should rank with the subdomain, right? Or is it that you do not rank at all (no domain, no subdomain) in the czech language? I don't think that the solution is to delete your language specific subdomain. Why do you think they are considered duplicates? Is the language not different? There are multiple questions that can be asked before reaching your conclusion. This is my input here.
