Hi there,

 

Is it possible to use keywords linked to the main topic in SEO without the subs having a URL attached? Or must they have a URL attached to work?

You dont have to have the keyword in the URL... it helps for sure. And if you do have it in the URL make sure you are paying attention to how it is displayed... using to many-hephens-to-break-up-things can look spammy. Google does display the URLs with keyword-rich content for websites that don't use breadcrumb navigation or the structured data associated with it (screenshot attached). 

 

Make sure you have the keywords in image alt text and follow other best practices if you are leaving it out of the URL :). If you want to give me more deets on this (PM me) and I can give more specific help!
