301 Redirects

ERS and DRS allow customers to use 301 Redirects to help Google, and other Search Engines, find your existing webpages when those webpages have changed paths, locations, or names. Broken links will hurt your SEO or Search Engine Optimization. Use 301 Redirects to tell search engines where your webpages are located.

Example: If your website is on Google and then you change your domain, then you will want a 301 Redirect. This 301 Redirect will tell Google where the new site is rather than navigate you to a broken link.

To configure your 301 Redirects:

1. Navigate to Admin>Documents>General Documents
2. Click "Add New" to create a new document
3. You won't be able to create a Name for the document, as document names must be set by Tech Support. Don't worry about that; that'll be part of the last step.
4. Fill out the Content field using the format "Redirect 301 OLD_URL NEW_URL" (see the screenshot below for reference. We generally recommend making these on a separate document and then pasting them in)
5. When you are done, use this link to open a Support ticket which will ask us to name the Document "Custom Redirects" and move it to the "System" documents in your Folder. This is the final step needed to implement your changes live online.
