Combining products - edit existing product page or 301 redirect to new page?

[SwankyApple]

We want to combine existing products - e.g. 'hand lotion' and 'body lotion' will become 'hand & body lotion'. As such, we'll need to combine the two product pages into one.

What would be the best route to take in terms of SEO to do this? My initial reaction is to create a new product page and then 301 or 302 redirect the old products to the new product page depending on if the change is permanent or temporary.

Would you agree? Or am I missing something?

Editing the existing product page is usually preferable when combining products, as it maintains SEO continuity and user experience.

However, if the changes are significant, a 301 redirect to a new page may be necessary to ensure proper indexing and avoid confusion.

Hi I suggest to keep one of the pages that have better PA and after that redirect 301 the other page to the first page.

Indeed. Make sure to 301 redirect both of the old URLs to the new URL after creating the new product page.

It is a good practice to update any internal links that point to the old URLs to the new URL even if you have the redirect set up correctly.

I followed the general principles of SEO for my site, but I can not see it coming up in Google at all. What do you think is my problem?

@swankyapple I hit 301 redirect, the results disappeared and I hit 307 again, it was fixed for a day, but it disappeared again. Please, 302 didn't help at all. I would be grateful if you could help

Certainly the 301 redirect method works best !

Yes. Create the new product page and make sure to 301 redirect both of the old URL's to the new URL.

Even though you'll have the redirect setup properly, it's still a good idea to change any internal links that point to the old URLs to now point to the new URL.
