• 301 Redirects:
  WordHerd will retain your existing search engine equity by preserving your URLs. One of the most important and most overlooked aspects of a website redesign is the redirection of old page URLs, which is technically referred to as 301 Redirects. As time passes websites are indexed by search engines and gain a reputation; this reputation is based on the relevancy of the websites content. This reputation and the search engine “relevance” is gained through quantity and quality of content, time, and “inbound links’ from external websites, such as Google. Rebuilding search engine equity would be very costly and take months to rebuild.
