301 Redirect

A 301 redirect is a permanent server redirect that sends users and search engines from one URL to another. It passes most link equity to the new URL, making it essential when permanently moving or consolidating pages. Proper 301 implementation preserves SEO value during site changes.

How This Applies to Home Care Marketing

Use 301 redirects whenever you permanently change a URL: consolidating pages, rebranding, restructuring your site, or removing outdated content. Without redirects, you lose accumulated link equity and create broken links affecting user experience.

Common home care scenarios requiring redirects: consolidating similar location pages, moving from old domain to new, restructuring services section, or renaming service pages. Always redirect to the most relevant replacement page.

Key Takeaway

Implement 301 redirects whenever permanently changing URLs to preserve SEO value and prevent broken links. Plan URL structures carefully to minimize the need for redirects, but use them properly when changes are necessary.
