FURL slug change - Site Refresh

    I'm about to relaunch my website, which gets good organic traffic. I think Ive covered most things in terms of negative effects on SEO. But one thing I am slightly worried about is that for a large section of the site, around 800 pages, the url slug has been changed in the new system. I prefer the new slugs, they make more sense and are standardised.

    They are not changed massively and hold mainly the same keywords and I have set 301 redirects up.

    an example (not in context):

    old: mac-book-pro-top-tips

    new: top-tips-mac-book-pro

    is this likely to negatively effect anything with SEO/Google?

    Yes, you can move forward with URL Slug change. It will not negatively impact you !!
