How to get this right.
-
01
Hyphens, not underscores
Google treats a hyphen as a word separator and an underscore as a joiner, so my_blog_post reads as one token and my-blog-post reads as three. That has been Google's stated behaviour for years and it has never changed.

02
Short and descriptive beats keyword-stuffed
A slug is a label for humans as much as crawlers. Three to five meaningful words is the target. Repeating your keyword three times in a URL does nothing for ranking and looks like spam to the person deciding whether to click.

03
Do not change a slug that already ranks
Changing a live URL loses its accumulated signals unless you set up a 301 redirect from the old one — and even then it costs a little. Get the slug right before publishing, and leave it alone afterwards.
