Some questions about URL structure and multi country website
-
Gajanand angela dayHi,
I have a question from SEO experts and web developers.
I want to setup a job website for 5 countries. for each country i will provide daily jobs listing on the basis of
1. jobs by categories - for example : accounting jobs. IT jobs, Sales jobs
2. jobs by city - for example : jobs in boston, jobs in chicago
3. jobs by companies for example : jobs in facebook, jobs in emiratescase :
a company name " emirates " located in "boston" having vacancy of "accounting job " having position of full timethis case job will be present in following categories .
1. accounting jobs in boston
2. jobs in boston
3. jobs in emiratesand open any above option there will be filter box on left side showing
position i.e full time
salary i.e 1000-1500
location i.e boston,chicagoQ.1
i want to know when user search on google these terms "accounting jobs in boston " or "jobs in boston" or "jobs in emirates" same job will displaywhich url structure is recommended in for each search term?
Q.2 how we can do on page SEO for these terms because jobs listing will be changing daily because of new jobs addition and content is changing not
Q.3 should i create website on separate domains for each country or same domain but with different folders in it
.co.uk or com/uk for UK and .ae OR .com/uae for UAENote : i will also attach blog on it and each blog will focus on specific country knowledge for example for USA , how to find jobs in new york and for UAE how to find jobs in Dubai etc .
Thanks in Advance

Hi Shahjahaaan
I am pretty sure I just answered your question on Facebook! If not I apologise but it looks the same

If you have 5 countries to target it is very ambitious without having a good SEO holding your hand. But my advice is:
1. Use a single brand name .com for all sites, so for example website.com
2. Each country has a country-specific folder:
website.com/en
website.com/us
wesbite/com/ca3. Use an hreflang tag on every page pointing to the page itself and the other country versions of the page.

Google will now not see each of the sites as duplicate even if you post the same content.
4. Folders can be defined to separate categories.
website.com/en/accounting
website.com/en/london
website.com/en/facebookIf a job exists in two categories it isn't a problem. - If of course the whole category is duplicated and all jobs the same then you either should not have the separation or you could canonicalise if you really wanted to keep both.

The fact that the jobs change every day is unimportant as long as the categories are well defined.
I hope this helps
