Welcome to the Q&A Forum

From my research it is best practice not to use the whole: .com/en/ .com/ru/ style of denoting languages, is this correct? Well I, not I agree with that as long as you set up correctly the language, sitemaps, canonicals and so on you should not have any problem I will give you 2 good examples apple.com neilpatel.com If you notice both of them use subfolders for language and region apple.com/mx/ neilpatel.com/mx/ Based on my experience I avoid creating subdomains because basically, prefer to build authority for a single domain rather than build authority for several subdomains. Both strategies have pros and cons and all depend on the size of the project. I mean a big brand can choose subdomain even when is going to manage several link building campaigns for several subdomains (keep in mind that Google will treat every subdomain as a single independent website). In my case I build authority for the main version of my website www.mycorporatewebsite.com --> English version andwhen I need to launch the Spanish version, this is going to rank a little bit easier mainly for DA that I already built In your case, if you selected a subdomain as your option no matter the reason, this can be technical reasons or maybe it was a client requirement (Russian and China). Well, the steps to follow are these ones. create the subdomains migrate the content redirect the old pages (not delete) submit the new sitemaps to GSC I will strongly suggest you make the process as much gradually as you can to not hurt your main website build a map of all of your internal pages divide it into small categories/tags/taxonomies or whatever you want migrate this small pieces gradually I hope this info will help you Regards

Hey Gaston, Thank you for your reply. Yes, that makes sense to me! All fixed now.

Hey there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here. Donald Silvernail is entirely correct - Moz Pro can help you track keywords and how your site ranks for them, but we won't do the work of adding those keywords to your pages for you. If you're wondering how to add those keywords to your pages, it might be best to work with your web developer or whoever manages your site for you - they should be able to help. Moz's tools can show you how to optimize your site for peak performance and the best possible rankings, but we just give you the tools to do the work of SEO on your own. Unfortunately we don’t offer consulting advice through our support channels. If you’re looking to purchase SEO services, we maintain a list of recommended SEO providers here. If you are looking to build your own capabilities, we have several SEO classes and custom training options on the Moz Training page. Core classes include keyword research, on-site optimization, and link building. Check back often there as the class schedule updates regularly. I hope this helps somewhat! If you have more questions, feel free to send us a message at help@moz.com and we'll do everything we can to help.
