Should I redirect Category link to page?

  • I have url structures like this in my website

    1. /category/city1/news/
    2. /category/city1/real-estate/

    Then I have a page /city1-real-estate/ (There is a link on the Menu link to this page) where I display the posts from category /category/city1/real-estate/ above and more helpful information to the readers including news from category 1 above.

    My question is: Should I create a redirect from the url /category/city1/real-estate/ to the page /city1-real-estate/

    Or keep it as is?

    Which is better for SEO ?

    Best regards,

    H

  • Hello @catuyen,

    That’s a great question and quite relevant in terms of SEO and user experience. Here’s my opinion to help you decide:

    For optimal SEO and user experience, it is advisable to redirect /category/city1/real-estate/ to /city1-real-estate/.

    Reasons:

    • A 301 permanent redirect passes the majority of SEO equity from the old URL to the new one. Prevents internal competition for rankings between similar pages.
    • Ensures search engines index only one version of the content. Reduces the risk of content cannibalization, where multiple pages compete for the same keyword.

    I hope this helps you make an informed decision!
