Frequently Asked Questions
Does URL length affect ranking?
Yes indirectly. Shorter URLs are easier to share, read, and remember. Google also truncates long URLs in search results. Aim for 3-5 keywords that describe the page.
What about special characters?
URLs can only contain ASCII characters. Our tool automatically removes emojis, accents (é -> e), and punctuation to ensure your URL is valid and shareable everywhere.
Should I include keywords in my slug?
Absolutely. The keywords in a slug are a ranking factor. Ensure your primary keyword is at the start of the slug if possible.
