• Avoid using file names like service.html, instead use actual service name like laptop-repairing.html
• Use keywords in file name as well as in the page title. It should be short and descriptive.
• Use 3-4 words in the file name and separate them with hyphens instead of underscores. Do not use more than 3-4 words.

Few good examples are given below :
