ai-people-search in /blog/ai-people-search)| Guideline | Target |
|---|---|
| Slug length | Under 60 characters total (including path prefix) |
| Word count | 3–5 words |
| Principle | Shorter = easier to read, share, remember; less truncation in SERPs; see serp-features |
Example: "The Complete Guide to AI Search Engine for Finding People" → ai-people-search (3 words) or ai-search-finding-people (4 words), not ai-search-engine-finding-people-speed-discovery-outreach (9 words, 51 chars).
| Rule | Do | Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Separators | Hyphens (-) |
Underscores (_), spaces, periods |
| Case | Lowercase only | Mixed case (causes duplicate content) |
| Characters | Letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), hyphens | Special chars |
| Stop words | Remove when possible: the, a, and, or, to | Keep when needed: "how-to" |
| Rule | Guideline |
|---|---|
| Primary keyword | Include near start; one focus per URL |
| Descriptive | Clear what page is about from slug alone |
| No keyword stuffing | One keyword mention is enough |
| No dates | Omit unless time-specific (news, annual roundups) |
| Scenario | Rule |
|---|---|
| Accented letters | Convert to ASCII: é→e, ü→u, ñ→n, ç→c |
| Non-Latin scripts | Use UTF-8 percent-encoding if required; prefer ASCII for compatibility |
| Example | jalapeno not jalapeño; cafe not café |
