Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a URL SEO-friendly?

SEO-friendly URLs are short, descriptive, and lowercase. They use hyphens to separate words (not underscores) and contain the page's primary keyword. They are easy for humans to read and for bots to categorize.

What is the ideal URL length?

Keep your URLs under 60 characters whenever possible. Shorter URLs are easier to share on social media, easier to remember, and are less likely to be truncated in search engine results pages.

Should I use hyphens or underscores?

Always use hyphens (-). Google treats hyphens as space separators (reading "seo-tool" as "seo tool"). Underscores (_) are treated as joiners (reading "seo_tool" as "seotool"), which hurts keyword recognition.

Do keywords in URLs help rankings?

Yes. Including your target keyword in the slug is a ranking factor. It signals relevance to search engines and helps users understand what the link is about before they click. However, avoid "keyword stuffing" by repeating terms unnecessarily.

What elements should I avoid in URLs?

Avoid using uppercase letters (URLs are case-sensitive on some servers), special characters (like !, @, &), and dynamic parameters (like ?id=123). Also, try to limit the depth of subfolders (e.g., avoid /folder/sub/sub/page).
