Why Customize URL is important?

The structure of a URL is important in SEO for several reasons:

  • Clarity and Context: A well-structured URL provides both users and search engines with a clear indication of what the page is about. Clear, descriptive URLs can improve click-through rates.

  • Keyword Relevance: Including relevant keywords in URLs can signal to search engines the content of the page, contributing to improved rankings for those keywords.

  • Simplicity and Memorability: Simple, clean URLs are easier to remember, type, and share, which can enhance user interaction and engagement with your content.

  • Linking and Sharing: A well-structured URL can serve as its own anchor text when copied and pasted as a link in forums, blogs, social media networks, or other online venues.

  • Hierarchy and Organization: A logical URL structure reflecting site hierarchy helps search engines understand the relationship between different pages and sections of a website, aiding in proper indexing.

For example, instead of https://www.newpages.xyz/pages/pages_id/12345/cat/124/, users will find more easier with https://www.newpages.xyz/aboutus
