How can i track performance metrics for a group of subdirectories.
I.e
domain.com/de/en_uk
domain.com/de/de_de
domain.com/at/en_uk
domain.com/at/de_de -
@Miradoro what would you like to track?
If you have Google Search Console set up for that domain it should be fairly easy to export data on clicks, impressions, CTR and average position.
You could then filter this data by subfolder and create visualisations like graphs if you needed.
You could see a quick overview of what's happening on each subfolder by adding a filter in GSC. Navigate to Performance > Search results > new > page... then filter by 'URLs containing' /de/en_uk
On a related note, I assume from these subfolders that you're targeting English and German speakers in Germany and Austria?
Have you got hreflang tags set up correctly? If not, this would be highly recommended to help avoid content duplication issues.
Cheers,

How can i track performance metrics for a group of subdirectories
There are a few ways to track SEO performance metrics for a group of subdirectories:
Use a website analytics tool: Google Analytics is a popular choice and it can be configured to track specific subdirectories. By creating a custom segment or filter, you can monitor the traffic and behavior of users on the subdirectories.
Use a rank tracking tool: There are many tools available that allow you to track the search engine rankings of specific pages or subdirectories. This can help you see how your subdirectories are performing in the search results over time.
Use a backlink analysis tool: This tools can be used to track the number of backlinks pointing to specific subdirectories. This can give you an idea of the authority and popularity of the subdirectories.
Track the performance of specific landing pages: By monitoring the performance of specific landing pages within the subdirectories, you can gain insight into how well the subdirectories are performing in terms of conversion rate, bounce rate, and other metrics.
Use Google Search Console: GSC allow you to track your website's performance in Google Search, you can see which pages are getting impressions and clicks, track your website's average position, and monitor your website's click-through rate.
All of these tools will give you different insights, so it's a good idea to use a combination of them to get a comprehensive view of your subdirectories' performance.

Collections or blog posts for Shopify ecommerce seo?
Hi, hope you guys can help as I am going down a rabbit hole with this one! We have a solid-ranking sports nutrition site and are building a new SEO keyword strategy on our Shopify built store. We are using collections (categories) for much of the key product-based seo. This is because, as we understand it, Google prioritises collection/category pages over product pages. Should we then build additional collection pages to rank for secondary product search terms that could fit a collection page structure (eg 'vegan sports nutrition'), or should we use blog posts to do this? We have a quality blog with good unique content and reasonable domain authority so both options are open to us. But while the collection/category option may be best for SEO, too many collections/categories could upset our UX. We have a very small product range (10 products) so want to keep navigation fast and easy. Our 7 lead keyword collection pages do this already. More run the risk of upsetting ease/speed of site navigation. On the other hand, conversion rate from collection pages is historically much better than blog pages. We have made major technical upgrades to the blog to improve this but these are yet to be tested in anger. So at the heart of it all - do you guys recommend favouring blog posts or collection/category pages for secondary high sales intent keywords? All help gratefully received - thanks!

Shopify SEO - Collection or Blog post for ecomm seo?
Hi Moz folks, would love your thoughts on benefits of Shopify collection pages v blog posts for ranking secondary shopping keywords not suitable for existing shop pages - all help gratefully received, we are going down a rabbit hole on this one and need some sanity! So, we’re updating our site which already has a reasonable seo foundation and are looking to rank better for key shopping search keywords in our space (d2c sports nutrition). My question is should we prioritise store collection pages (category pages in Shopify terms) or blog posts for some of the main keywords not already covered by our core in-store collections/categories? Priority keywords already covered are things like protein powders, protein bars, energy drinks, etc. As context, we have a small product catalogue (10 products) and for easy navigation on site have these grouped into 7 collections/categories in the main menu and available from the homepage. All are quality high volume and high intent shopping keywords for our business. The secondary terms we are now looking to add content for are things like marathon nutrition, vegan sports nutrition, etc so now need to choose if we create product collection pages for these, or use blog posts to do the work. The advantage of collections, we believe, is that Google is likely to prioritise these in search. The disadvantage from a UX point of view is that more categories in store could make our simple and clear product range (10 products only) look complex or repetitive. Conversely, a blog post removes any UX confusion with too many categories, but we have a conversion rate issue with our blog. It performs well in search, but conversions are poor. We have addressed this with a new keyword targeting strategy and blog customisation, but we have yet to test this so while in theory it should work well, we do not know for certain. In summary: we want to rank key shopping keywords beyond our core ones we have - would you advise we use blog posts or product collection pages? All help gratefully received - thanks! Warren
