Google’s John Mueller said putting the category name or topic name in your URL slug has zero impact on your rankings. I am not 100% sure if he really meant ZERO but he used a GIF that says ZERO.
Here is the set of tweets on Twitter so you can see it yourself:

I mean, Google did say both in 2021 and 2020 that keywords in URLs have a minimal impact – not zero impact – after the page is indexed. But I guess it is close to zero?
The question here was “How important it is to have a Category/Topic in the URL slug?” Just said ZERO.
