Clean, readable URLs on key pages

Once-off foundation In SAEO: Site Audit

What this is

This is a once-off foundation in SAEO’s SEO/AEO curriculum for brochure and local business sites — not a custom Growth Plan move. Focus: Clean, readable URLs on key pages. Short, readable slugs (/carpet-cleaning-phoenix/) help users and crawlers. You (or your client) complete the work, then tick it off when it is genuinely finished. When you are ready, SAEO can open Site Audit.

Why this matters

Avoid long ID strings and date junk on commercial pages.

What it will do

  • Open Site Audit in SAEO to work this task with the right context.
  • Do the work on the live WordPress site (or in the linked SAEO tool) for money pages first.
  • Skip utility pages like privacy, checkout, and thank-you unless the task is specifically technical.
  • Tick the checklist only when you could explain the outcome to a client in one sentence.
  • Treat this as durable foundation work — only revisit if the site or business changes materially.
