Two people discuss how to organize multiple service offerings on a website without cluttering navigation. They recommend a dedicated services page with brief overviews and video, then links to individual sales pages, and note that broken navigation links can break breadcrumb trails and hurt SEO.
Sometimes people have different things that they offer on their website, meaning I have this one-on-one program, I have this group program, and I have this membership, right? So you have 3 services. Sometimes they'll just put 3 different pages on top. What I might suggest, especially to reduce the navigation, because I'm somebody who has 200 and something pages on my website. Okay. So you wanna keep the main navigation pretty simple, but you can have dropdowns. And, but the problem with that is that sometimes you'll put like Services in the main navigation and then 3 dropdowns for those 3 different sales pages. But then they won't create a real main services page. You have to have a main services page that gives like a little blurb of each one and then links into the inside sales pages for those particular 3 services. In my opinion, it makes it easier for the visitor because we don't know which service we want yet. You have to take us to a main services page with a video that explains who, which one is for and we should click to learn more. That's my opinion, but that would really make sense for a lot of people, I think.
And there's a little bit more to that story. Again, this is like a, a techie SEO thing. Good. Is that if you have that top navigation and it doesn't click, yeah, it messes up your breadcrumbs, which most people don't care about.
I don't even know what a breadcrumb is.
A breadcrumb, if you notice, some websites at the top when you're on an interior page. Yeah. It'll say like home, it'll have an indicator and it might have a category and it might have, you know, another page and then where you are. So it's like the path of how you got to where you are. Oh. And if you don't have a legitimate page for that dropdown menu, then it messes up that path, which, you know, you say, oh, who cares? But this is one of those search engine optimization things that's super simple to fix. Yeah. You just gotta create the page. And on that page, it, like you said, it should have a video and it should link to all your services, just an image and a link or buttons or however you wanna display it.
