How do I deal with /mobile/ page after responsive re-design?

[WCR]

Hi guys,

One of our clients used to have a website that would redirect mobile traffic to a /mobile/ page.

Thankfully we've finally gone fully responsive and there is no need for this /mobile/ page.

Trouble is, www.clientsite.com.au**/mobile/** is still in the Google index and going to a 404 right now.

What is the best way to deal with it? Should we be 301 redirecting /mobile/ to / (the home page)?

Would be most grateful for any ideas.

Thanks!

First how long has it been since you moved the site off mobile?

Is the /mobile pages ranking or is it only when you search for them?

I personally would set up 301s for each page to the new page. Not 301 all of it back to the home page.

Hi Aaron,

The /mobile page is ranking. Am trying to get the developer to 301 just the /mobile page to the home page. Will see how it goes.

Remember: if any page inside /mobile/ match with another page than the home, you should redirect it to the right page, as Aaron said, not redirect all the folder to the home. E.g.

/mobile/page-about-vegetarian-food > /vegerarian-food

Yep, there are no pages below /mobile/ so it should be all good. Thanks.
