        You could put the pages in a sub directory such as /lawsuit-loans/ which is neater than putting in the url. However if you use the words enough on the page and home page that link to them it should be OK with not including as long as your site isn't about lots of other things not to do with loans and lawsuits.

          you do not want to go crazy with words in the URL. Only use them when appropriate.

          For instance I would honestly not start every URL with /lawsuit–example

          As has already been said the content should do that. For instance if you have a page regarding a lawsuit you should put at least 2000 words on the page with maybe some video not YouTube see wistia.com/learning/advanced-seo-with-distilled

          if you're going to use video.

          I do think using a link structure that is clean and to the point. Will help you the most.

          So example.com/keyword–keyword/ but do not feel like you have to stuff the link with keywords. After which focus on getting high quality relevant links pointed to that page as well as building high-quality relevant content.

          • When the site's entire URL structure changed, should we update the inbound links built pointing to the old URLs?
