      in this url www.stjeromemitsubishi.ca, is it a good thing to repeat the name and location in the url but with ''-''sign between? ex: www.stjeromemitsubishi.ca/partsandservice/stjerome-mitsubishi-contact.aspx

        I would recommend not repeating the name and location in the URL and instead use something like www.stjeromemitsubishi.ca/partsandservice/contact.aspx. There won't be any SEO benefit by simply repeating the name and location in the contact page URL.

        If you had multiple locations, then I could see the point in doing something like www.stjeromemitsubishi.ca/partsandservice/seattle-dealership-contact.aspx

        (ideally I would suggest structuring the URLs like this www.stjeromemitsubishi.ca/locations/seattle/contact.aspx but I am following your original example)

          If it makes sense for that page, it won't harm your site. It probably doesn't make sense to include the location for a contact form, though.

            I gave the contact page as example but the question was for the entire website. I'm asking this beacause I must use a CMS to modify the website but it allows so little SEO parameters. I just want to make shure that Google won't penalize for trying to ''trick'' their search engine.
