If you want to change your domain from:
loodgieter-aanhuis.nl -> loodgieters-ambacht.nl
follow these steps:-
Implement a thorough 301 redirect strategy, mapping each URL from the old domain to the equivalent URL on the new domain.
-
Update internal links across the site to ensure visitors and search engines find relevant content quickly.
-
Run a crawl of the new website to ensure 301 redirects have been implemented successfully.
-
Set up and verify a new Search Console account for the new domain.
-
Submit a sitemap for the new domain to help Google crawl the new website.
-
Submit a change of address in Google Search Console to inform Google that your old domain has been migrated to your new domain.

Is domain forwarding the same as a 301 redirect?
Hi, I have an older domain with some SEO auth for varying pages and a newer domain that is for the brand. Right now there are some 301s for about 13 pages and we are currently moving servers. I was wondering if domain forwarding is the same as writing 301 redirects for each page or is it something different (302)?

Redirect Chain
Describe tu pregunta en detalle. ¡Cuanta más información proporciones, mejor! Ayuda a dar contexto a una gran respuesta. in Moz I did the analysis of my web and it tells me that I have a redirect in chain: The redirect chains often occur when several redirecting rules are accumulated, like redirecting a 'www' to a URL other than www or a page not secure to a secure page / https: Look for any recurring string that can be rewritten as a single rule. Take special care with chains 301/302 in any combination, since 302 in the mix could affect the ability of 301 to pass the value of the link. I thank you for your help in solving

Best way to optimize a website for local search today?
A real estate agent client has had a website for years, which he optimized to position himself as a national real estate expert (to get more TV and media exposure). Now he wants to be found for a more local real estate term, such as Westchester ny real estate. Should he add a page to his site that's focused on Westchester real estate, or would Google view that as spammy? Should he update older blog posts with relevant, useful content about Westchester? Any best practices and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Does Channeladvisor really assist in SEO?
I'm getting emails from Channeladvisor recommending I join, thereby taking advantage of a change to Google Shopping. It is starting in Australia from today (13Feb13). Is it an upgraded version of Google Adwords, or another form of a Commerce Merchant (obviously with multiple channels,e.g. Ebay, Amazon etc)? With Adwords, I found it too expensive for the type of product we sell (printer cartridges). But the real question is, DO MY RANKINGS DROP FROM NOT USING CHANNEL ADVISOR?

How to best use our blog posts for SEO?
My company recently created a WordPress hosted blog. It is hosted completely separate from our company site. The primary domain for the blog is blog.mydomainname.com, but we immediately created a folder within our company website for www.mydomainname.com/blog that has a reverse proxy to the blog itself. I'm curious though if we should consider taking the content from the blog posts and re-creating that within our company website as well? The blog posts are very good SEO rich content, and we always struggle to find new content to put on our company website as it is already. Would like to get some folks thoughts on this. Thanks!
