This is my site,  example of a product :

Would I lose rank in Google for changing all to friendly SEO urls?

Thank you

I can see that your site is running on Open Cart -

long term, you shouldn't lose rankings if you switch to a more friendly, navigable URL structure. You just need to make sure you have a a redirection plan put in place to redirect visitors and search engines from the old URLs to the new URLs. These redirects should be 301 redirects, so the old URLs are replaced with the new ones in the search engine indices. If you are using an extension to create the new URLs, make sure it will 301 redirect the old URLs to the new ones.

You may see a temporary drop in rankings, but if implemented properly, things should recover rather quickly.

Good luck,

Mark

Very good reply thank you very much, and how can I redirect at least categories and products? I have more than 7k of products

The extension you use to create the search engine friendly URLs should be good enough to redirect the category and product pages.

You may want to check out an extension like this - http://www.inveostore.com/magic-seo-urls-for-opencart-9 (note - I haven't used this in the past, but may solve what you're looking for - either way, talk with your site developer and make sure the extension is relevant for your version of opencart)

I would use a canonical link as well on every page, just to add to what you guys are talking about.

Have a great day.
