Settings: URL Redirects

The URL Redirects section of your settings allows you to create 301 Permanent Redirects for your domains. This can be useful for a variety of reasons, including the prevention of duplicate content (i.e. maybe you have several blogs on the same subject and want to aggregate them together), or perhaps you’re moving to a new domain and want to clean up dynamic URLs to redirect them to a shorter, search engine friendly version.

The URL Redirect feature gives you four options for redirecting a domain:

Redirect to another URL

Redirect to a step in a funnel 

Redirect to a page in a website

Redirect to all paths (REGEX)

Follow these steps to learn how to create and use URL Redirects for BILT:

Step 1: Create a URL Redirect

Redirect Type: URL

Redirect one URL to a another url

• Navigate to Settings > URL Redirects.

• Click Add a Redirect.

• In the popup window, customize your redirect, and click “Add Redirect” to save your changes.

Redirect Type: Funnel 

The Funnel redirect, allows you to 301 redirect a url to a step in an existing funnel that is linked with a domain within the subaccount.

Redirect Type: website 

Website redirect allows you to 301 redirect a url to a Website page. Only those websites that are linked to a domain can be used here.

Redirect Type: ALL

Redirect all paths from one URL to all paths of another URL. It is particularly useful when you have a "www" domain (www.mydomain.com) and a root domain (mydomain.com) wherein you can keep all of your paths on one website within sub-account(e.g. mydomain.com/about-us) and then redirect all paths from www.mydomain.com to the root domain, thereby including www.mydomain.com/about-us without having to add a redirect for each path or maintain two websites. 

*This is also known as a REGEX redirect.

Step 2: Manage your URL Redirects

• On the URL Redirects page you can view a list of all your redirects. 

• Click the menu dots to edit the Redirect or the trashcan icon to remove any you wish to delete.

Search Bar for URL Redirect: 

The new search bar feature for the URL Redirect App enables users to search through both domain and path fields simultaneously, increasing efficiency in locating and managing specific redirects. This feature simplifies the process of finding specific redirects, saving time and improving productivity. To use this feature, navigate to the URL Redirect App, enter your search query in the search bar, and it will dynamically filter and display matching results.
