SEO site structure can be achieved very easily with WordPress sites by updating the site permalinks with a little custom code. The code is called category – post name taxonomy, or category then posts or pages in the website link structure.

The way to change the permalinks on a WordPress website is rather straight forward. First, log into the back end of your WordPress site, usually located at www . yourwebsite . com/wp-admin or www . yourwebsite.com/login. Once in the back end Dashboard, navigate to the “Settings” option (the last item in the main menu on the left). While hovering over Settings, choose “Permalinks” from the secondary menu.

On the permalinks page, click the last option in the list labeled “Custom” and enter the following code in the box:

SEO Site Structure:
/%category%/%postname%/

Then click the blue “Save Changes” button at the bottom of the page. Now check out the link structure on the website by refreshing a page. Notice how the links are all clean names and are the perfect SEO site structure.

Jophiel grew up on a ranch in Paradise Valley, Montana near Chico Hot Springs. Working on the ranch instilled work ethic and self motivation. Filled with this drive, Jophiel started mowing the local school's yards twice a month throughout the summers, at the age of 12. He moved to Billings in 2004, where he has been deeply involved in the local business community ever since. A serial entrepreneur, Jophiel has ran multiple businesses in our local community. The first business, a janitorial and carpet cleaning company, founded in 2005, has employed over 50 locals. Moving on to the media industry, Jophiel and several partners founded Green Directory Montana in the spring of 2007. Green Directory's sustainability ranking software awarded points based on sustainable or "green" actions. These points counted towards a business's total "Green Score," which in turn ranked them against other businesses in their category and throughout the entire site. It also featured a limited edition print version distributed annually. A business acquisition allowed Jophiel to focus on new projects, and a few close business colleagues and Jophiel started Rocky Mountain Mr. & Ms. Magazine, a lifestyle publication for men and women in the Magic City. After a year and a half at the helm of RM3 Magazine, the business was purchased. He now runs a web development company SkyPoint Studios and fathers his son Jaoquin, who plays football, basketball, soccer, and is learning snowboarding from his dad. Recently, has expanded to locations in Havasu, Arizona & Vegas. SkyPoint Studios is a market leader in both Billings & Havasu and Jophiel is working on building that same level of market dominance in Vegas.
