301 Redirect

[Paul78]

Hi there,

We are re-branding & re-structuring our website, there will be quite a number of 301 re-directs, possibly hundreds. The question is: Should i wait until the re-branding has been completed and do al the 301's in one go?, or should I try and do 301's as i go along?

Kind Regards

Hi Gary

You should have your 301s ready, as you'll want to implement them as soon as the site changes.

A quick way to get all the URLs (new or old) is to spider the site with Screaming Frog or Zenu  - get the URLs in a spreadsheet, and that way you have your list of old/new URLs.  Depending how well you know excel you can get them matched up and ready to go quite easily with very minimal typing.

Then check webmaster tools right away when you may the switch to catch any 404s.  Also, re-spider the site to look for the same.
