So 90% "Don't be bad/lazy at web dev and make your webpage properly" and only 1 bullshit voodoo "guess how the algorithm works", solid article!

for SEO you can't be lazy you have to cover every edge case optimize for every other schema and tag feed algo as much as possible don't just reply on keywords

For url structure if the blog is about in another language what to do?

is it better to make the url in english or relevent language with focus keyword is enough

Sohail SJ | TheZenLabs • Edited

if you are running multi language website I would highly suggest implement internationalization via this NPM package npmjs.com/package/next-i18next

example below of url structure:

└── public
    └── en
        ├── blog
        |   └── awesome-blog-article
    └── de
        └── blog
            └── toller-blog-artikel
