Hi Ava,

Wherein it should appear as https://www.xyz.com/blog

And when I click on blog post it should be like https://www.xyz.com/blogs/skincare-tips

Can you help me fix this

Any update on this? URL structure is crucial for usability and SEO. It doesn’t help users that a huge portion of the url is redundant /blogs/news/. It’s a shame that important section of the URL is cut out in SERPs. Can you please check with your team what percentage of Shopify customers has multiple blogs? I am willing to bet any money - they are not a majority. I would be surprised if that is even 10%. Perhaps routing taxonomy should account for the most common case and have workarounds for those who need it, not the other way around?

Shopify commerce is so good but their SEO structure is so bad and not sure why they couldn’t make a simple fix so their customers are ranking better. I m hoping this is going to get resolved soon.

Fun(ny) Fact: Shopify’s own blog uses the much more common-sense url structure of Ecommerce Marketing Blog - Ecommerce News, Online Store Tips and More - Shopify (singular)

The thing is it is possible. I’ve encountered several shopify websites, whose /blogs/ have been renamed to journal, library you name it, and the categories which shopify calls “blogs” used as what they’re categories. The issue is how can we accomplish that.
