SEO for a small site

Home / Blog / Topic / Article is a path. Home / plumber / cleveland / cheap is a doorway.

Breadcrumbs should match the real hierarchy, not a keyword trail | Bizzit guide

Breadcrumbs help humans and can get BreadcrumbList markup. They must reflect the site. Cluster hubs exist so posts are not orphans. Someone who wants city names in the crumb. We will not keyword-crumb doorways.

Use breadcrumbs that match folders a human would click: Home, Blog, topic, article. Markup BreadcrumbList to match. Do not stuff cities into crumbs. Bizzit posts sit under /blog/topics/{cluster}.

Who this is for

Someone who wants city names in the crumb. If that is not you, a different Bizzit guide will fit better, do not force this URL.

The actual answer

Breadcrumbs help humans and can get BreadcrumbList markup. They must reflect the site. Cluster hubs exist so posts are not orphans. The short version is still the one in the box at the top of this page. The rest of the article exists so you do not have to guess the limits.

Do this in order

Follow the steps. Skip the ones that are not your job. Do not add extra tools as if they were required SKUs.

  1. Link Home
  2. Link Blog
  3. Link the cluster
  4. Name the page

What not to do

Do not make crumbs a keyword list. Do not 404 a crumb URL. That is the usual way a useful page turns into a doorway, a fake comparison, or a brief Cipher cannot honor.

How this shows up on Bizzit

Create is where you brief Cipher. Pricing is public. Tools are public pages that do a job, they are not a second SKU you must buy.

Limits

Do not make crumbs a keyword list. Do not 404 a crumb URL.

Limits and caveats

Do not make crumbs a keyword list. Do not 404 a crumb URL.

If a sentence would require a competitor SKU we have not verified, or a statistic we did not measure, it does not belong here.

What to do after you read this

If this page answered the query, open Create with the nouns from your own business, not a slogan. If it did not, you are probably in the wrong cluster: go back to the blog hub or SEO for a small site. Do not spin a second URL for a synonym. One intent per page is the whole point of this library.

Questions people actually ask
