Build a redirect map after restructuring
Goal
Stop losing traffic and links to 404s after renaming products or collections.
Prompt to copy
Here are old URLs (from a crawl or Search Console 404 report) and the current list of live URLs. Match each old URL to the most relevant live URL. Prefer same product > same collection > parent category > home page last. Mark low-confidence matches. Return CSV with headers: Redirect from,Redirect to,Confidence
Steps
- Export 404s from Search Console and a list of live URLs.
- Run the prompt.
- Review low-confidence rows.
- Import CSV in Online Store > Navigation > URL redirects > Import.
What to check
- No redirect loops or chains.
- Paths are relative (/products/x), as Shopify expects.
Safety rating: Safe. This workflow only reads data and suggests changes. You decide what to apply.
