        Hi,

        If I understand correctly, I wouldn't add anything to your main/home page URL. You could always add to the info on the page or the meta tags where it makes sense to.

        A specific page for debt settlement would be best which would then be /debtsettlement

          The /debtsettlement page should be a key landing page within your website, the brand name which i assume is in time financial is best served as your main URL. So your set up at the moment is correct.

            Your URL structure should include your key words, absolutely.

            Ideally your URL string would contain as much information as possible without stuffing it with key terms. It should also build as people navigate.

            domain.com/category/page

            debtstop.com/debt-settlement/monthly-settlement-plans

            Does that make sense?
