Menu "Div" Tags Strip URL Dilution and Force a Flat Crawl Architecture
Housing local offerings under a generic /services/ subfolder dilutes the core entity and buries it one level deep in the site architecture.
To maximize crawler prominence, strip this structural dilution by moving all offerings to direct top-level slugs—such as domain.com/residential-cleaning/—advises Chris Palmer.
Furthermore, to maintain user navigation without disrupting this flat hierarchy, replace the primary "Services" menu link with a div tag.
Stripping the a tag from the main anchor preserves the visual text and dropdown functionality for humans, but prevents the crawler from processing a useless middle-tier URL.
The dropdown elements now route equity straight to the root-level service pages.
