A well-defined site structure makes the job of search engine crawlers easier and this means better indexing and more chances in achieving higher rankings.

With the introduction of artificial intelligence in the Google ranking algorithm, voice search and mobile-first index, the structure of a website has gained more importance than ever.

It’s no longer enough to have pages thrown on a website but these have to be grouped properly into categories so that search engines can understand for which topics you want to rank for.

Keywords are still important for rankings but equally important is topic relevancy and one of the ways to achieve this is through a good site structure[/b].
