URL Naming for SEO: Clean, Clear, and Clickable

A great URL is short, descriptive, and packed with meaning. Yet many businesses still default to cryptic slugs like /product?id=1234. That’s a missed opportunity.

A well-structured URL not only signals content relevance to search engines—it also builds user trust. Which would you click:
/product?id=92 or /circuit-breakers/siemens-20a-2p?

At Pikberi Connect, we follow best practices like:

  • Keeping URLs under 60 characters
  • Using hyphens, not underscores
  • Including a focus keyword
  • Avoiding unnecessary parameters

This not only improves your SEO but also makes your site easier to navigate and share. Clean URLs are essential for search rankings, especially for category and product pages.

Remember: your URL is the first thing Google and your users read. Make it count.
