Help me set up and manage URL redirects in my Shopify store:

Audit current 404 errors:

  Check Google Search Console for crawl errors
  Identify deleted product pages still getting traffic
  Find broken internal links
  List changed URL handles


Create redirect plan for:

  Deleted products → redirect to parent collection or similar product
  Renamed collections → old URL to new URL
  Old blog URLs → current blog post URLs
  Common typos → correct URLs
  Campaign landing pages → relevant permanent pages after campaign ends


Implementation:

  Use Shopify Admin > Online Store > Navigation > URL Redirects
  Format: /old-path → /new-path (301 permanent redirect)
  Bulk redirect CSV format for large migrations


Best practices:

  Never redirect to another redirect (no chains)
  Don’t redirect to irrelevant pages
  Monitor redirect performance monthly
  Remove redirects for pages that no longer get traffic (after 1 year)


Generate the redirect list in CSV format ready for Shopify import.

Expected Output

Plan and implement 301 redirects for deleted products, changed URLs, and common 404 errors to preserve SEO value.
