    Hello, I am currently doing a SEO job for a Bulgarian website, and we are wondering how to make the permalink,if we we type them in Bulgarian the url goes very long as it uses many symbols for each letter written in Bulgarian, so I wanted to know if we make the url’s in Bulgarian, but by using Latin letters instead, will they be indexed the same way? As we really need to shorten the URL’s.

  • Hello,

    Thank you for reaching out with your question about URL permalinks in Rank Math for a Bulgarian website. When it comes to creating URLs in a different language like Bulgarian, but using Latin letters instead of Cyrillic, it is a common practice to ensure the URLs are more concise and user-friendly.

    Using Latin letters in place of Cyrillic characters to create URLs will not affect how search engines index your content. Search engines like Google can understand and index URLs created with Latin characters representing Bulgarian words just as effectively as those created with Cyrillic characters.

    By using Latin letters, you can indeed shorten the URLs, making them more concise and easier to read for users. This practice aligns with SEO best practices, as shorter and descriptive URLs tend to perform better in search engine results.

    If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!

    Best regards.

    Also I wanted to ask will the url affect the ranking as the moment I type the url with latin the rank math score drops as it doesn’t find it in the url ?

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math support.

    The URL length isn’t a huge ranking factor. Since your site’s content is in Bulgarian, you should use the slug in the same language and can ignore the URL length recommendation. To pass the test, you will have to make sure that the slug includes the exact keyword.

    Please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
