This is what I ended up doing. I changed the preferred version on the platform and also in Google. We will see what happens! Thank you...

RE: Switching site from non-www to wwwposted in Intermediate & Advanced SEO
Hi guys,
Thanks for the response. I will do that... I have already submitted the non-www as my preferred domain but will go back and switch to the www. Thanks!

Switching site from non-www to wwwposted in Intermediate & Advanced SEO
Howdy folks,
I've got a website that is roughly 3 months old. I created it as a naked URL as I often prefer the look but I've noticed that a lot of my competition has www and also some of my clients seem to prefer it as well. I feel like switching it to www will be of long-term benefit for my site. The problem is that I currently have several pages with first page rankings and a backlinks. I am wondering what the negative effects of switching it to www would be, and how I can minimize any issues. I am guessing I should do a redirect, and I have access to some of the backlinks so I can change those as well, but is there anything else? Thoughts? I appreciate the feedback!
