It’s a way of increasing the visibility of your business and getting much more quality and quantity of traffic organically through search engines without making use of Ads. There are different components of SEO. One of them is site architecture.
Your website architecture is foundational. It is the structure that organizes and distributes the content of your site. Optimizing your site is made a lot easier when you use an SEO-friendly site architecture.
What Is SEO Friendly Architecture?
This refers to the rate at which the search engine bots can easily crawl your website.

SEO-friendly site architectures help web pages communicate with Google easily and can facilitate the ranking of your site. Follow these techniques to develop a site architecture that will help your business rank on Google:
Use an URL structure friendly
Your site URL has a significant impact on the SEO of your website because Google and other search engine bots that crawl through pages prefer short and simple page URLs.
