    I have 1 question about the category.

    I have apk store website so when I create a post I add category for the apps I post. And I have 2 parent categories. (Games and apps) so when I post social App I make Apps as parent category but the main thing is should I select Apps as PRIMARY TERM or Social as PRIMARY TERM? Which is best for SEO?

    I am using WordPress so it says SELECT PRIMARY TERM.

  • Hello,

    Thank you for reaching out with your question about selecting the primary category for your APK store website. In your case, where you have two parent categories (Games and Apps) and you are posting a social app, you mentioned that you make “Apps” the parent category.

    When it comes to selecting the primary term for SEO purposes in WordPress, it’s recommended to choose the most relevant and specific category as the primary term. In your scenario, since you are posting a social app under the “Apps” parent category, you should select “Social” as the primary term if it accurately represents the main focus or topic of your post.

    By setting the most specific category (in this case, “Social”) as the primary term, you can help search engines better understand the main topic of your post, which can positively impact your SEO efforts.

    If you are unsure how to select the primary term in WordPress using Rank Math, you can refer to this guide on how to choose a primary category with Rank Math SEO.

    Best regards.

    Hello,

    The screenshot you have shared is for the parent category “Games” and the child category which is “Action”.

    However, as our bot advised above, you should select the primary term of the child category on your example, “Social”, to best match and describe your post.

    In that way, the breadcrumbs shown on your posts will help your visitors/users to easily navigate to your categories and provide a hierarchal structure to your site.

    Looking forward to helping you.
