Thank you

Thanks but I was meaning the actual properties that they sell?

Hello,

I've been looking online for some help with this. An estate agent has a page of properties for sale. Is it possible to mark these individual properties up and if so would they appear as rich snippets in the SERPS - never seen anything like this for properties for sale so just wondered,

Hi,

I believe that some CMS will automatically do the 301 redirect for you if you rewrite a URL (you can easily check this using this tool: https://httpstatus.io/ . If it does automatically 301 redirect the old to the new then you should be OK as the majority of your page authority will pass onto the new URL. But without doing redirects, as Andy said, you wil lose the page authority.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks Bryan.

If he was against merging then would changing the address and phone number on one website?(and all subsequent citations?) be a good idea?

Hi,

A client of mine offers loft conversions and wants to make a go of it. So he has a website dedicated to loft conversions.

He is also a joiner/carpenter and has another old website which offers general joinery work and insurance work.

Both websites have the same business name and same address and phone number.

There is only one Google place page for the loft conversions website. The loft conversions website is not ranking as well as we would like locally. Could it be due to the same NAP? What are the best options?

1. Redirect the old website to the loft conversions one (he might not like that idea)

2. Change the address and phone number on one website?(and all subsequent citations?)

Would love some help on this!

Thank You Houses! Of course that is the soultion. I had been staring at the problem for too long that I couldn't see the wood for the trees!

What would I do without Moz helpers!

Thanks

Hello,

I had asked my client to ask her web developer to move to a more simplified URL structure. There was a folder called "home" after the root which served no purpose. I asked for the URLs to be redirected using 301 to the new URLs which did not have this structure. However, the web developer didn't agree and decided to just rename the "home" folder "p". I don't know why he did this.

We argued the case and he then created the URL structure we wanted. Initially he had 301 redirected the old URLS (the one with "Home") to his new version (the one with the "p"). When we asked for the more simplified URL after arguing, he just redirected all the "p" URLS to the PAGE NOT FOUND.  However, remember, all the original URLs are now being redirected to the PAGE NOT FOUND as a result.

The problems I see are these unless he redirects again:

1. The new simplified URLS  have to start from scratch to rank

2)We have duplicated content - two URLs with the same content

3. Customers clicking products in the SERPs will currently find that they are being redirect to the 404 page.

I understand that redirection has to occur but my questions are these:

1. Is it ok to redirect twice with 301 - so old URL to the  "p" version then to final simplified version. Will link juice be lost doing this twice?

2. If he redirects from the original URLS to the final version missing out the "p" version, what should happen to the "p" version - they are currently indexed.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
