URL slug generator

A good URL reads like a sentence with the noise taken out. This does the taking out.

Your title

Paste one headline, or a whole list — one per line.

Example: How Much Should You Spend on Google Ads? — one title per line
Example: hyphen — Google treats hyphens as spaces, underscores as joiners
Example: https://yoursite.com/blog/

Your slugs

How it will look

How to use this URL slug generator

  1. Paste one or more titles, one per line.
  2. Choose your word separator and options, and add your site address if you want full URLs.
  3. Press Copy all to use the slugs.

Who it is for

For bloggers, developers and site owners publishing new pages, particularly in bulk.

What a good URL looks like

Compare these two:

yoursite.com/blog/?p=4471&cat=12 yoursite.com/blog/google-ads-budget

The second one tells you what the page is before you click it. That matters in search results, in a WhatsApp message, and to anyone deciding whether your link is safe to open.

Five rules

  • Hyphens, not underscores. Google reads a hyphen as a space. An underscore joins the words together, so google_ads can be read as one word.
  • Lowercase only. On many servers /Blog and /blog are two different pages, which quietly splits your traffic.
  • Three to five words. Enough to be clear, short enough to survive being pasted.
  • No dates unless it is news. /2024-ppc-guide looks stale in 2026 even after you update it.
  • No stop words. "how-to-price-your-service" works as well as "how-to-price-your-service-in-2026-for-beginners" and is far easier to share.

The one thing that costs you rankings

Changing a URL after the page is live. Every link anyone ever made to it breaks, and the search engines treat the new address as a brand new page with no history.

If you must change it, add a 301 redirect from the old URL to the new one. That passes most of the value across. Without the redirect you are starting again.

Common questions

What is a URL slug?

The slug is the readable last part of a web address. In example.com/blog/google-ads-budget, the slug is google-ads-budget. A short and descriptive slug helps people understand the page before they click.

Should the slug match the page title exactly?

It should contain the main phrase, not the whole title. "How Much Should You Spend on Google Ads in 2026?" becomes "google-ads-budget" or "how-much-spend-google-ads" — either is fine.

Do numbers in URLs hurt SEO?

No. A number that is part of the topic, like "7-ppc-mistakes", is fine. A number that is just a database ID is what you want to avoid.

What about non-English characters?

Modern browsers handle them, but they turn into unreadable percent-encoding when pasted into a message. This tool converts accented letters to their plain equivalents.

How long can a URL be?

Technically thousands of characters. Practically, keep the slug under about 60 so it shows in full in search results.

Need more customers as well?

This tool is free and always will be. If you also want ads, search and follow-up that bring in customers, I offer a free 45-minute consultation for businesses in the USA, UK, UAE, Australia and India.
