It is crucial to consistently conduct competitor analysis, paying close attention to the length of their URLs.

A common mistake that many people make is incorporating long-tail keywords into their URLs, which is not considered a good SEO practice.

Personally, I strive to limit my site article URLs to a maximum of 4-5 words. In certain cases where the search volume is relatively low, I may include additional words, but the general best practice is to keep the URL as short as possible.

Once again, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of competitor analysis in shaping your approach.
