Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you so much for you answer! the home page in the subdomain is redirected but none of the actual pages in the subdomain are, and because there are so many of them, it would be easier to block them in robots.txt, even if there is small change that Google will still index them. But because the home page is redirected, I don't want to confuse Google with a Disallow: / Could I do Disallow: / and then Allow: /homepage.html

This is a technical question, that they need to tackle from database side. It can be implemented, but it needs a few extra development hours, depending on the complexity of your website architecture/cms used/etc.. Anyways, you are changing the URL, so don't forget about the best practices for them. Good luck!

Hi Rachel, I think István makes a good point about the translated urls but just as a quick follow-up to your original question - it should not cause technical problems to have the page names the same while they are in different directories, because the total file path should be different, as long as you have hreflang properly set up. Regarding your question about canonical tags - I would not canonicalise some of these language variants to other language variants, even if you do decide to make the page names the same. Hreflang is saying "these two pages are different language variants of the same thing" whereas canonical tags are saying "this page is just the same as this other thing" - the canonical tag doesn't have the language component so could conflict with your hreflang and cause errors with things like return tags. At the very least it could confuse Google as to which page should rank in which country, for instance, how can the /de/ page rank in Germany if we're telling Google it's not the canonical version of the page, but the other one from root is? Hope that helps!

Hey there! Kristina from the Help Team here. It sounds like you're referring to the Rank Tracker tool. If so, we made some changes to the tool in our menus due to the announcement of us sunsetting the tool on June 8th. In case you missed it, you can read more about that announcement in this Q&A post here. You can now access the tool by navigating directly to this URL: https://moz.com/researchtools/rank-trackeror by navigating to your Moz Pro Home option and then scrolling down to the available tools. I made a quick video here for you demonstrating this piece. I hope this helps but certainly let us know if there's more we can assist with on this, and sorry for the confusion!

Success! So glad you were able to get that hooked up. Have a great rest of your day!
