Does a URL forward slash break up an exact match phrase?

[featherseo]

I've seen some organisations implementing keyword phrases per URL with forward slashes in-between the keywords. Would this still work for broad AND exact match keywords when the search engine references the URL?

Here's an example with the keyword being "scuola di lingue tedesco".

Thanks in advance.

Google would probably look at that as an 'exact match' but bare in mind that this isn't really the be-all and end-all of your SEO. Google is weakening the value given to matches like this so I wouldn't worry too much. Focus on your links

Thanks Matthew.
