The True TLD [Top Level Domain] is Assess.solutions. Each Subdomain exists as a CNAME record or combined A and AAAA records in the DNS; and, is read by Google as a unique TLD; plus, each has its own XML Sitemap. Configuration and SSL certificates requires only assess.solutions and *.assess.solutions. [* = wildcard]
In this use-case ‘locations’ are a taxonomy vocabulary. Taxonomies can be tiered with a hierarchy and inclusive of content [parent - child relationship(s) up or down]. Every taxonomy term can be its own TLD.
Please note that in this configuration the 'www' is not forwarded to, or from, the bare domain. Instead it serves as a worldwide catch-all [https://www.assess.solutions].
Location Subdomains:
World = https://www.assess.solutions
- Australia = https://australia.assess.solutions
- Canada = https://canada.assess.solutions
- United Kingdom = https://uk.assess.solutions
- United States = https://us.assess.solutions
- - States
- - - Counties
- - - - Municipalities
- - - - - Neighborhoods
It is extremely important to have a layered URL pattern for the purposes of a tiered taxonomy vocabulary.
Topic Subdomains:
Business = https://business.assess.solutions
Education = https://education.assess.solutions
Insurance = https://insurance.assess.solutions
Judicial = https://judicial.assess.solutions
- Civil
- Criminal
- Family
- Immigration
- Traffic
Since the taxonomy is established, content can then be added via a simple tagging interface and sorted be the terms’ relevancy.
