CMS collection pages subfolder

Publishing help SEO
1

Is it possible in Webflow, without harming SEO, to make CMS collection pages not be directed into a subfolder?

For example, a client I work on wants programmatic location pages, so we would want to use:

www.examplesite2637.com/solarpanels-texas
rather than:
www.examplesite2637.com/solarpanels-collection/solarpanels-texas

Regards,

Niels

Not natively. I do this on occasion using a reverse proxy setup, but you have to be careful to avoid conflicts with any existing pages like /about, /contact, etc.

It won’t negatively impact SEO as long as you;

  • Update all canonicals and alt lang links ( for localized sites )
  • Update your sitemap accordingly
  • Redirect your native CMS paths to your new paths, to maintain current SEO and nav / backlink functionality

If you want to go that route, you can contact me here-

Sounds too much of a hassle for that small URL optimization :confused:

Was hoping for a simpler solution, good to know though thanks Michael!
