HQ Solutions — proposed sitemap
and a working navigation prototype.

The structure derived from the SEO strategy, long-tail audit, competitor analysis, and brand-voice work. The navigation bar at the top of this page is the live prototype — hover any item to see how the mega menus would behave on the real site. Every tag below explains what changes vs. the current /ro/ site.

Try the nav above. Hover Servicii, Soluții, Industrii, Resurse, or Despre to expand each mega menu.
01 — Why this navigation, this way

Six items, two new top-level concepts.

The current /ro/ menu mixes services and solutions into one umbrella with no buyer-journey logic. The proposed nav reorganizes around three things the data showed mattered: buyer intent stage, industry segmentation (HQ's underused portfolio moat), and a resources hub for the lead-magnet long-tails.

What's new in the top-level

Industrii & Resurse

"Industrii" turns HQ's enterprise portfolio (Alfa Laval, KPMG, Beijer Ref) into vertical landing pages — the moat competitors can't match. "Resurse" centralizes templates, calculators, and gated PDFs as lead-magnet content for the long-tail intent we saw on `plan de continuitate model`, `audit IT checklist`, `RTO RPO`.

Conversion logic

Free audit + visible phone + ofertă pill

"Audit IT gratuit" is a button (not a link) — same wedge ITC Tech uses to win the SERP. Phone number visible at all times like dotnetwork does. "Cere ofertă" CTA in every megamenu footer — every nav drop is also a conversion path.

Killed from current nav

/asistenta-tehnica/ → /mentenanta-it/

The current page targets a phrase nobody types. Renamed to the term RO buyers actually search ("mentenanță IT"). Old URL 301-redirects. Same treatment for `/administrare/` (folded) and `/videoconferinta/` (repivoted to B2B AV integration).

03 — URL Changes

Redirect map for migration.

All URL changes vs. the current /ro/ site. Every rename = 301 redirect, no link equity lost.

Current URL Proposed URL Action Why
/ro/asistenta-tehnica/ /ro/mentenanta-it/ 301 Current slug has 0 autocomplete demand. New slug matches the term RO buyers actually search.
/ro/administrare/ /ro/servicii/administrare-it/ 301 Disambiguates from non-IT admin contexts; nests under /servicii/.
/ro/servicii-it/ /ro/servicii/ 301 Cleaner umbrella; aligns with /soluții/ sibling.
/ro/portofoliu-clienti/ /ro/despre/portofoliu/ 301 Nests company-proof under /despre/.
/ro/supraveghere-video/ /ro/solutii/supraveghere-video-b2b/ 301 + Rewrite Repositioned to B2B (birouri, depozite). SERP for `supraveghere video` is consumer-installer territory — wrong audience for HQ.
/ro/videoconferinta/ /ro/solutii/sali-videoconferinta/ or kill Decide Standalone videoconferinta is commoditized. If HQ does AV-integration (equipped meeting rooms), repivot. Otherwise kill.
/ro/stiri/ /ro/resurse/blog/ 301 + Audit Archive moves; 299 individual posts get GSC traffic audit. Zero-traffic posts get noindex (don't delete — keeps any backlinks).
