Which are the best ways to categorize my website?

[Pnavichi]

Hello.

I've been searching for the best way to organize categories on my website. My website is about home appliances. There are 5 appliance categories (washing machines, tumble dryers, dishwashers, cookers & ovens, and refrigerators & freezers).

My dilemma is that they all share the same subcategories, i.e., reviews, safety issues, spares, using, buying, repair advice, etc. So which is the best way to do it, please?

Washing Machines

• Reviews
• Spares
• DIY Repairs
• Safety
• Consumer

Tumble Dryers

• Reviews
• Spares
• DIY Repairs
• Safety
• Consumer

OR

Reviews

• Washing Machines
• Tumble Dryers
• Dishwashers
• Fridge & Freezers
• Cookers & Ovens

Spares

• Washing Machines
• Tumble Dryers
• Dishwashers
• Fridge & Freezers
• Cookers & Ovens

Thanks in advance

Hi,

That's a great question. I would keep the main categories as close as possible to the root domain.

My silo structure would look like this:

webiste.com/washing-machines - Main category

webiste.com/washing-machines/safety-issues - Subcategory

webiste.com/washing-machines/reviews - Subcategory

webiste.com/washing-machines/spares -Subcategory

webiste.com/washing-machines/buying - Subcategory

Yes, you are right. I'm doing the same as you think.
