URL changes in Google Analytics and Google Search Tools

[whitewallmarketing]

I need to update a few URLS which have been updated from www.examplename.co.uk to www.example.co.uk

I want to be 100% sure of the process to change these over in Google Analytics and Google Search Tools. I assume the Google Analytics change is simple as the code on the site is the same and I don't think Google Analytics cares about the URL.

With Google Search Tools I get a bit fuzzy and want to be sure I'm doing this right. Any help much appreciated.

Hi there

Yes, definitely use the Change of Address resource provided by Thomas above. I would also make sure that you develop a redirect file so old URLs make there way to their new URLs, and update your sitemap XML / internal links. Here is a resource for Google Analytics.

These steps will help Google find your new URLs so much easily and quickly. Let me know if this helps! Good luck!
