Hi, We've a #1 ranking business website with a 7 year old url with the format city-keyword-keyword.tld, we've a new service & cover many more cities which means this url is not great anymore.

We're thinking of switching to our actual business name which is 29 characters long & not keywordy. What would you do? Almost everyone in our industry has keywordy urls (we know we need to change backlinks etc and it will be a lot of work)

Please advise. We're in a market with tough competition but the url is no longer as relevent to our business but we don't want to lose our rankings or business due to this.

You often talk about redirects. Is there a time, how long to use those redirects?
