      I have a different problem then most. My international website (www.solmelia.com) is showing number one in english for "sol melia" in the Mexican google search engine.

      Plus the 3rd listing on google.com.mx is our homepage in spanish but it is showing up as a 401. We need to redirect the ccTLD (www.solmelia.es) to our current spanish version that is actually a subdomain (es.solmelia.com).

      Please let me know how I can fix both issues.

        Hey Antonio,

        Maybe I'm missing something, but I only found one issue.

        You want to 301 redirect www.solmelia.es to es.solmelia.com. A 301 is a permanent redirect which will pass on your link juice and tell Google that this it the new page and the old one is no more. The guide I linked to gives tips on how to do it in various platforms, but most people use their robots.txt to do this.
