Unsolved URL dynamic structure issue for new global site where I will redirect multiple well-working sites.

[Jose_jimenez]

Dear all,

We are working on a new platform called [https://www.piktalent.com](link url), were basically we aim to redirect many smaller sites we have with quite a lot of SEO traffic related to internships. Our previous sites are some like www.spain-internship.com, www.europe-internship.com and other similars we have (around 9).

Our idea is to smoothly redirect a bit by a bit many of the sites to this new platform which is a custom made site in python and node, much more scalable and willing to develop app, etc etc etc...to become a bigger platform.

For the new site, we decided to create 3 areas for the main content: piktalent.com/opportunities (all the vacancies) , piktalent.com/internships and piktalent.com/jobs so we can categorize the different types of pages and things we have and under opportunities we have all the vacancies.

The problem comes with the site when we generate the diferent static landings and dynamic searches. We have static landing pages generated like www.piktalent.com/internships/madrid but dynamically it also generates www.piktalent.com/opportunities?search=madrid.

Also, most of the searches will generate that type of urls, not following the structure of Domain name / type of vacancy/ city / name of the vacancy following the dynamic search structure.

I have been thinking 2 potential solutions for this, either applying canonicals, or adding the suffix in webmasters as non index.... but...

What do you think is the right approach for this?

I am worried about potential duplicate content and conflicts between static content dynamic one. My CTO insists that the dynamic has to be like that but.... I am not 100% sure.

Someone can provide input on this? Is there a way to block the dynamic urls generated? Someone with a similar experience?

Regards,

Creating a dynamic URL structure for a new global site that will redirect multiple existing sites involves careful planning. One approach could be using a subdirectory or subdomain structure:

1. Subdirectory Structure:

   • yoursite.com/country-code/ or yoursite.com/country-name/
     • For example: yoursite.com/us/, yoursite.com/uk/

2. Subdomain Structure:

   • country-code.yoursite.com or country-name.yoursite.com
     • For example: us.yoursite.com, uk.yoursite.com

Ensure the redirects maintain SEO equity and usability by mapping old URLs to corresponding new ones. Additionally, implement proper hreflang tags for internationalization to guide search engines on serving the correct content to users in different regions.

Remember, the chosen structure should align with your content organization and global targeting strategy.
