Nested URL Paths Support Guide

1 min read Updated 31 August 2026

Overview

The Nested URL Paths feature allows you to create hierarchical URLs for your funnels, websites, and webinars using forward slashes (/) to represent site structure. Instead of slashes being converted to hyphens, you can now define meaningful nested paths that reflect your content organization and improve SEO.


Examples of Nested Paths

  • /resources/courses/sales-funnel

  • /webinars/2025/summer-session

  • /campaigns/holiday/black-friday-offer

  • /funnels/product-launch/step-1

How to Use Nested URL Paths

  • Go to any funnel, website, e-commerce, or webinar page or step.
  • Click Edit.
  • Enter your desired nested URL path, using / to create hierarchical structures.

Path Validation and Restrictions


Reserved Paths


Certain paths are reserved for system functionality and cannot be used. Attempting to use them will result in an error message.


System Routes

  • /b/, Reserved for blogs functionality

  • /c/, Reserved for categories

  • /product/, Reserved for product pages

  • /collections/, Reserved for collection pages

  • /post/, Reserved for blog posts

  • /category/, Reserved for category pages

  • /author/, Reserved for author pages

  • /tag/, Reserved for tag pages

  • /store/account, Reserved for store account functionality

Best Practices

  • Avoid trailing slashes - Use clean, canonical paths without a trailing slash (e.g., /path/subpath instead of /path/subpath/).

  • Eliminate double slashes - Ensure there are no duplicate slashes in your paths (e.g., /path/subpath, not /path//subpath).
    No empty segments - Avoid leaving blank segments between slashes (e.g., use /category/item, not /category//item).

  • Use descriptive, meaningful paths - Clearly communicate the content and its hierarchy with readable, intuitive URLs (e.g., /blog/seo-tips instead of /b/123).

  • Organize logically - Structure paths in a way that makes sense to visitors and mirrors your site's navigation or content hierarchy.

  • Optimize for SEO - Well-nested, keyword-rich paths can boost search engine rankings by signaling clear content relationships.

Conclusion


Nested URL paths offer powerful flexibility for organizing your content and improving your site's SEO. By following these guidelines and avoiding reserved paths, you can create a well-structured, hierarchical website that's both user-friendly and optimized for search engines.

Always test your nested paths thoroughly and ensure they align with your overall site architecture and marketing goals.
