        You would need to use 301 redirects for this:

        https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/205815308-Creating-URL-redirects

        Note that there are many factors which can stop a 301 redirect from properly transferring SEO authority from one page to another (regardless of whether it's on a new domain or not)

        This one: https://moz.com/community/q/changed-url-and-now-not-listing#reply_394821 - is quite important!

          Effectdigital has hit the nail on the head there. A well performed 301 redirect is your answer and the links given are perfect.

            I would recommend setting up server side redirects from your host with 301 redirects. It can be a tedious job but it's well worth it SEO wise.

              301 redirects & point the root domain also, your hosting provider will help with this.
