Managing URL Redirection in SureRank

The Link Manager feature in SureRank Pro allows you to manage 301 redirections for your WordPress website with ease.

What is a 301 Redirect Manager in SureRank?

The 301 Redirect Manager in the SureRank SEO plugin for WordPress allows you to permanently redirect one URL to another. This helps ensure that both visitors and search engines are automatically sent to the correct page when a URL is changed, deleted, or no longer exists.

What Does the SureRank 301 Redirect Manager Do?

• Redirects Old URLs to New Ones
  If you update or remove a page, SureRank lets you easily create a 301 redirect so users land on the right page.
• Preserves SEO Value
  A 301 redirect passes most of the original page’s SEO value (up to 90–99%) to the new URL, helping maintain your search rankings.
• Prevents 404 Errors
  Redirects help avoid broken links (404 errors), which can hurt user experience and your site’s SEO.
• Fixes Duplicate URLs
  Redirects multiple versions of the same page (e.g., with or without “www” or trailing slashes) to a single, clean URL.
• Supports Site Changes
  Whether you’re restructuring URLs, changing domains, or redesigning your site, SureRank’s redirect manager helps keep everything SEO-friendly.

Why Use SureRank’s 301 Redirect Manager?

Without proper redirects, updated or deleted pages can cause:

• Lost traffic

• A poor user experience

SureRank makes it easy to manage redirects, no need to touch your .htaccess file or write any code.
