How to keep your Google rankings when you redesign a website

A redesign can lose years of SEO work if page addresses change. Here is how to avoid that.

How to keep your Google rankings when you redesign a website

Many businesses see their traffic drop after launching a new website. The design is better, but Google can no longer find the pages it knew. The fix is simple if you plan it before launch.

Keep the same addresses where you can

If a page ranked at a certain address, keep that address on the new site. It is the safest option.

Redirect every address that changes

When an address must change, set a permanent (301) redirect from the old address to the new one. This passes most of the ranking to the new page.

Carry over titles and descriptions

Copy the meta titles, descriptions and headings of your best pages, then improve them. Do not launch with empty SEO fields.

Submit the new sitemap

After launch, submit your sitemap in Google Search Console and watch the coverage report for errors over the next few weeks.
