How to create an SEO-friendly website structure?

ROI answers

A well-structured website helps both users and search engines navigate your content effectively, boosting your rankings in Google Australia. As of early 2026, search algorithms prioritise sites with clear hierarchies and internal linking, making a strategic structure crucial for visibility.

  • Flat Architecture: Aim for pages to be no more than 3-4 clicks from the homepage.
  • Keyword-Rich URLs: Incorporate relevant keywords into your page URLs (e.g., /plumbing-services-sydney).
  • Internal Linking: Strategically link related pages within your site to distribute ‘link juice’ and guide users.
  • Sitemap Submission: Current systems include automated sitemap generation and submission to Google Search Console via platforms like ROI.com.au.
  • Mobile-First Indexing Compliance: Ensure your structure is responsive and prioritises mobile usability – a key ranking factor in 2026.

In 2026, Australian businesses must also consider the Australian Consumer Law when structuring product and service pages, ensuring clear and accurate information is readily available. Furthermore, Google’s focus on Core Web Vitals means site speed and user experience, heavily influenced by structure, are paramount. Now features within advanced SEO platforms include predictive analysis of structural impact on Core Web Vitals.
