Map every URL before a migration and catch redirect chains automatically before they cost you rankings.

URL Migration and Redirect Mapping Template

[[p]]Redirect maps usually get built in a rush right before launch, one URL at a time, which is exactly how chains slip through. A page gets redirected to what looks like its new home, except that page is itself redirected somewhere else a few rows down, and nobody catches it because nobody&#39;s checking the whole list against itself. The rankings loss shows up weeks later, and by then it&#39;s a forensic exercise to work out why.[[/p]]
