SEO Best Practices for Slugs

• Use hyphens (-) to separate words — Google recommends hyphens over underscores
• Keep slugs short and descriptive — ideally 3–5 words
• Use lowercase letters only
• Remove stop words (a, the, is, in, etc.) to keep slugs concise
• Include your primary keyword in the slug
• Avoid special characters, spaces, and numbers unless necessary
