Category Changes

Hey everyone, we’re restructuring our departments (categories). Some of the changes are just name adjustments.

Thinking about the SEO impact, do you think it’s better to create a new structure or rename the existing categories?

Hey @tianoweb, how’s it going?

I believe that even for content that has been changed and is already indexed by the web, to avoid a 404 error, it’s always a good idea in all cases to set up a 301 redirect so the user is sent to the new destination.

If it’s a one-off change, you can use the URL Manager tutorial.

If it’s a bulk change, there’s the “redirects” plugin for the VTEX CLI, which lets you import redirects by processing a CSV file via command line.

Thank you Andre.
