Glossary

URL slug

A clear definition of URL slug for UK business owners, with notes on why it matters and where you will see it in practice.

Definition

The path segment that names a page, ideally clear and stable.

Why it matters

Understanding URL slug helps you read reports, brief a provider, and spot claims that sound impressive but mean little. Good SEO partners explain terms like this in plain English.

If you are comparing retainers, remember that traditional agency SEO can cost around £3,000 a month within published UK ranges, while AffordSEO offers always-on automation for £99 a month with no long contracts ever. Neither model can honestly guarantee rankings.

Where you will meet it

You may see URL slug in a technical audit, a Search Console conversation, a content brief, or a monthly progress report. Ask for an example on your own site when a term feels abstract.
