For a parent blog on our website, what should we go for - Subdomain or Subdirectory?

We are a kids website with fun learning content dedicated to kids aged 6-14 yrs, now we want to start a blog page for parents with parenting tips and information useful to parents. For this, should we choose - a subdomain or subdirectory?

I think going for the subdirectory variant is the easiest and best way. There is a lot of research about it online and even arguments between famous SEO specialists about which one to choose. I could go into many details about it, but from my experience, a subdirectory is easier, indexes faster and ranks higher. You can save a lot of time this way.

Many thanks for the response.

I agree with this response. If the content is mostly under your own control (the main content is yours, maybe with some scattering of UGC 'comments' from parents) then go subdirectory

If in the future you create an area where you have way less control over what is posted (like a forum, which is 99% UGC) then go subdomain
