What is Subpage?

A subpage is subordinate to a parent webpage, meaning its URL is located hierarchically under a primary webpage URL, often showcased in drop-down navigations and breadcrumbs. For instance, /about-us/team is a subpage of /about-us. Following appropriate logical hierarchies aids user navigation and assists search engines with understanding a site’s structure. Subpages can be discovered and indexed with ease if there are clear and descriptive URLs, and internal links are maintained consistently.

Examples of subpages would include: www.yoursite.com/blog/how-to-seo, www.yoursite.com/products/widget123, and www.yoursite.com/services/consulting.
