The WordPress editor features some useful ways to quickly publish your content and get it indexed in the search engines.

The Ezoic contributor Whitney Wright has shared useful strategies for improving SEO by changing WordPress URLs.

Wright says, “If you’re a WordPress user, there are many different slugs that it can auto-generate for a new post. If you never selected a specific one, it may have auto-generated all of your posts with additional information, like the date, month, numerical numbers, or just random information.

You can control your post URL generation under ‘Settings > “Permalinks”‘. In most cases, it’s best to keep the slug simple and just use ‘post name’.

Where this gets messy is if you’re now a well-established publisher and all of your posts were generated in a way that isn’t serving your site as well”.
