Hi,

We know that URL length does not matter for Google. What about Microsoft Bing? Is shorter URLs better?

    According to my experience, although it is not a direct ranking factor, but URL length matters definitely for SEO.
    Shorter URLs are considered more SEO friendly than the longer ones due to better crawl rates of bing bots. Further keep it keyword rich. under 60 characters and avoid special characters.

    From my research, it seems the general consensus is that URL length does not impact SEO overall.
