Url title and then category vice versa

[Preen]

We have recently developed a site with the structure of

domain.com/page-title/about/category

Instead of the traditional

domain.com/category/page-title

We want to optimize more on each single article rather than the category its in. However now we get the info from a seo company that this is rather a bad idea and it hurts the SEO performance because google doesnt understand the structure.

The archive page of each category is

domain.com/category/overview

Whats your input on this?

I recently came across a great article that might be able to help you out. Ideally, you would want to organize individual content pieces within their appropriate categories to help Google and other search engines easily decide what it is about. I would recommend updating your site structure.

Bruce clay talks in depth about how to silo content and I think it will answer alot of your questions.
