SEO - Setting up 301 Redirects

You can set up 301 redirects which tell the search engine that an old url has been replaced permanently by a new URL by the following steps:

• Log in as Web Admin.
• Click on Marketing and then 301 Redirects.
• Click Add New 301 Redirect to add new old-to-new url mappings.

Remember to use relative paths.  For example, if you want the following url to redirect to the following page:

FROM: https://www.mydomainname.com/oldurl

TO: https://www.mydomainname.com/newurl

You would then enter these as:

FROM: /oldurl

TO: /newurl

i.e. you would leave off the domain name part and always start with "/".

Query parameters in the OldUrl cannot be in 301 redirects.  Query parameter will appear after a question mark in the url eg /clothing?product_id=30.  In this example it would not be able to create a redirect for the product with the id 30.

Note: you can also bulk update/upload 301 redirects.  See the following support article for more details https://support.abcommerce.com/hc/en-us/articles/360009230997-Bulk-Importing-301-Redirects
