When should you use a subdomain?

Typically, subdomains are used if there is content that is distinct from the rest of the site. Subdomains are indicated by the section to the left of the root URL. For instance, blog.examplesite.com and shop.examplesite.com are subdomains of www.examplesite.com.

Are subdomains good or bad?

Subdomains can provide organization and structure to your site if you have a lot of different, but important content to share. Subdirectories can be helpful for smaller websites that don't have a large variety of content.

What are the drawbacks of subdomain?

One of the disadvantages of opting for a subdomain is that because search engines view them as separate sites, they're treated as separate domains when it comes to determining rankings. Considerations need to be made for developing a subdomain into its own entity.

Do subdomains rank in Google?

Google ranks subdomains more or less the same as subdirectories (also referred to as subfolders). But there's a key difference, in that subdomains are considered standalone sites and distinct from the main domain.
