Frequently Asked Questions
A URL slug is the part of a web address that comes after the domain name — for example, in yoursite.com/best-coffee-shops, the slug is 'best-coffee-shops'. It is also called a permalink. Slugs are typically lowercase, hyphen-separated, and contain only letters, numbers, and hyphens.
Use hyphens. Google treats hyphens as word separators, making 'best-coffee-shops' readable as three separate words. Underscores are not treated as word separators by Google, so 'best_coffee_shops' is read as one word. This tool defaults to hyphens but lets you choose underscores if required.
Aim for 3–5 words and under 60 characters. Shorter slugs are easier to share, read in search results, and remember. Remove stop words (the, a, and, in, of) and avoid dates and numbers unless essential to the page topic.
Yes. Including your target keyword in the URL slug helps Google understand what the page is about. Clean, readable slugs also improve click-through rate in search results because users can see what the page covers before clicking.
This generator removes special characters (!, @, #, $, etc.), accents (é, ü, ñ become e, u, n), punctuation, and extra spaces. It converts uppercase letters to lowercase and replaces spaces with your chosen separator (hyphen or underscore).
