Frequently Asked Questions
Google has stated it treats hyphens as word separators but generally does not treat underscores that way, meaning "better-seo-tips" is read as three words while "better_seo_tips" may be read as one. Hyphens are the widely recommended default for SEO-friendly URLs; underscores are mainly useful when a specific system requires them.
They're converted to their closest plain-ASCII equivalent (é becomes e, ñ becomes n) rather than left as-is or stripped out — this keeps the slug fully URL-safe without special encoding while staying readable and close to the original word.
Shorter, descriptive slugs are generally preferred — search engines and users can both read them more easily, and very long URLs are sometimes truncated in search results. A good target is a few meaningful keywords, not a restatement of the entire title.
