Query String Parameter Names for SEO

If I have a website, for example:

google.com/index.html?c=123123&p=shoes

Would it be better for SEO to have it like:

google.com/index.html?code=123123&footwear=shoes

I mean, does providing useful names help SEO query string parameters?

Yes, the query string can help Google understand the meaning of the page.

What is important in the query string that displays unique content when the parameter value changes.

Example:

google.com/index.html?code=123123&footwear=shoes

google.com/index.html?code=123123&footwear=shoesB

If in this case you display the same content that may occur in duplicate issues. (You can also use the canonical URL)

It is best to rewrite the string as a URL such as

google.com/footwear/shoes/name-product-ID

Unique URL for each product.
