      Hi there,

      I'm working on a website where the webmaster redirected a bunch of parent pages but left the URLs of the children pages as is. For example:

      domain.com**/business/** got 301 redirected to domain.com**/personal**

      But they left behind all the children pages of /business/ as is like:

      • domain.com/business/trips
      • domain.com/business/travel

      instead of changing these to:

      • domain.com/personal/trips
      • domain.com/personal/travel

      Is there an SEO implication to the children pages_ /business/trips_ and /business/travel having a redirecting parent? Will it affect robots crawling or link equity passing?
