What makes a good URL slug

Keep it short, lowercase and hyphen-separated, with your main keyword and no filler words (a, the, and). Avoid dates and numbers you'll have to change, special characters, and underscores (Google prefers hyphens). A clean slug like /best-crm-small-business is readable for humans and search engines alike — and once it's live, don't change it without a redirect.

Frequently asked questions

What is a URL slug?

The readable part of a URL after the domain, like 'best-crm-tools'. A clean slug helps both users and search engines understand the page.

Should I use hyphens or underscores?

Hyphens. Google treats hyphens as word separators but underscores as joiners, so 'crm-tools' is read as two words while 'crm_tools' isn't.

Can I change a slug later?

You can, but set up a 301 redirect from the old URL or you'll lose its rankings and break links. An SEO plugin like Rank Math manages redirects.
