: What would be the SEO impact of moving webpages under my root domain to a subdomain? Would moving webpages in directories under my root domain (e.g., example.com/docs/single-doc-name/) to a third-party
Would moving webpages in directories under my root domain (e.g., example.com/docs/single-doc-name/) to a third-party service that would only allow you to use a subdomain for them (e.g., docs.example.com/docs/single-doc-name/) impact the SEO and ranking for my main site (example.com)?
Would this impact the SEO for those webpages since they would no longer be part of example.com?
I would be using 301 redirects from the old URLs to the new URLs.

It used to be considered a bad practice to put your content on a subdomain as it was thought domain ranking factors would be split between the two domains, which is still true to some extent, however, if the two domains are interlinked ranking factors will flow through partially. It is thought that *.blogspot.com may be treated differently to sub.joebloggs.com.
There's a lot more about this here.
Google nowadays would probably tell you not to worry about it if the content stands on its own merit, and your 301's and links all work correctly, everything will update to reflect the changes.
