 * Hi there, I am using the paid version of Yoast for WooCommerce and want to know
   if there is an option to set up permalinks in the most SEO friendly way. I am
   building a new website and seeing that to get to a product the URL varies in 
   so many ways.
 * Example: domainname.com/shop/redsock.html is one way to access all products, 
   then domainname.com/product-category/socks/red/redsock.html is another and I 
   think that we can also access via domainname.com/redsock.html.
 * Is there a way to set it up so that URLs work like the following, I’m assuming
   that this is the best for SEO, please correct me if wrong.
 * domainname.com/socks/redsock.html
 * or does the final URL need to be domainname.com/redsock.html
 * All products are only set to one subcategory.
 * I suppose this question is can Yoast help me set this up or do I need to use 
   a permalink manager plugin or canonical URL plugin and am I going about this 
   the right way?

 * Hi,
 * You mentioned that you have an active subscription of Yoast WooCommerce SEO, 
   so if you have any questions relating to support for that plugin, you can contact
   us directly — [https://yoast.com/help/support/#premium](https://yoast.com/help/support/#premium)
 * With that being said, the Yoast WooCommerce SEO plugin or the main Yoast SEO 
   for WordPress plugin can’t help with your inquiry related to permalink structure
   changes. Your question is a bit outside the scope of the support we provide. 
   Giving SEO advice, in most cases, requires a deep analysis of your site to provide
   accurate advice for your specific setup, even for what may seem to be a simple
   question.
 * At Yoast, we want to help people improve their site and to make SEO attainable
   for everyone. So we offer Yoast Academy courses which are included in our Yoast
   SEO Premium subscription, several great plugins, and a comprehensive SEO blog.
 * You may also want to refer to this article for more information about changing
   your permalink structure — [https://yoast.com/help/how-do-i-change-the-permalink-structure/](https://yoast.com/help/how-do-i-change-the-permalink-structure/)&
