  1. Hi thanks for the videos that were very useful. My Website tavarasands.com has a URL Extention of.PHP – When I use SEO Tools scanning website it says the URL Filename is not friendly to do I need to change the URL. By the way, it's Running on the Google First page for Some important keywords.

  2. Hi, We've a #1 ranking business website with a 7 year old url with the format city-keyword-keyword.tld, we've a new service & cover many more cities which means this url is not great anymore.

    We're thinking of switching to our actual business name which is 29 characters long & not keywordy. What would you do? Almost everyone in our industry has keywordy urls (we know we need to change backlinks etc and it will be a lot of work)

    Please advise. We're in a market with tough competition but the url is no longer as relevent to our business but we don't want to lose our rankings or business due to this.
