SEO Manager - Move page in pagetree
As an EPiServer editor I want to move a page in the pagetree.
Welcome to this video about SEO Manager for EPiServer.
I'm going to show you how SEO Manager handles moved pages in the Site tree.
Imagine that you have created a page but want to move it to another section in the site tree structure. This action will of course change the page URLs. Generally when a URL is changed all old visitors and search engines will get a 404 page and it will take time before the search engines have indexed the new URL. You will also lose important Google PageRank.
I'll show you how to avoid this with SEO Manager.
First, let's create a test page under the "Products" section.
I will name it "My test move page" and then click "Save and publish".
Let's check out the URL view and look at the generated URLs.
I will also go to the website and see that the page is actually published.
So, now we want to move the page in the page tree. In this case I want to move the page to the "Company" section. I simply drag and drop the page to "Company". I will also get a question if I really want to do this and yes I do.
After moving the page I want to see that the URLs have been changed, so I will go to the URL view of the page. And yes, the URLs have been changed. You can also see that all previous URLs are automatically handled as 301 redirects.
When clicking on one of the old URLs you can see how we are redirected to the new master URL.
On the public site I can see that the page has been moved to the company page section.
