I need help on how best to do a complicated site migration. Replacing certain pages with all new content and tools, and keeping the same URL's. The rest just need to disappear safely. Somehow.
Hello Brickbatmove, Have you done a complete content and URL inventory yet? You need a list of every URL on the current site with columns for traffic by source, count of internal links and count of backlinks, at minimum. Anything with an external link does need to be redirected to the new URL. Even if you don't keep the content, redirect the URL to something similar on the new site. How to do a site migration safely is beyond the scope of Q&A. I suggest you read some guides like the ones below, if you haven't already: https://moz.com/blog/website-migration-guide https://searchengineland.com/site-migration-seo-checklist-dont-lose-traffic-286880 https://www.brightedge.com/blog/a-step-by-step-guide-to-nailing-your-next-site-migration/
