Help about SEO On-Site. Change or Not change?

Mirkogiovannetti · Mar 6, 2020

Dear guys I'll explain the situation,
I have my website (Static Website HTML) installed on my root site www.example.com and I installed wp and configured everything on www.example.com/blog.
I want my articles to be www.example.com/article1.html (Main Keyword1) and not www.example.com/blog/article1.html. My articles must be found on this link www.example.com/article1.html I don't want to put them in the subfolder.
I want to do all of this to help the google crawler in reading my articles (to SEO Optimization).
Do you think it is worth rewriting the site to change this structure or can I leave everything as it is? Is it convenient to rewrite the site?what would you do?

If your website is static HTML you could have just saved the files and do a fresh installation of wordpress on root domain and then just remove index.php and upload all your static files there.
In a SEO perspective, it will not matter if your articles are with /blog/article.html or directly /article.html , so if you already have everything up, it will not worth changing.

Spot on. I will add that if you already have articles on website/blog/article1 it would be weird to change it now and get a bunch of 404s.. you'd need to redirect them to root and you'll just make things a lot more complicated..

I agree. If the articles are actual blog posts anyway then no need to change, the url structure is already optimized from a SEO perspective.
