\nto give you a clear path to work on.<\/p>\n

1. First Thing first, get your responsive site ready.<\/strong>\"seperating-mobile-URLs-diagram\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

2. Collect all the data from your M-dot website like conversion rate, traffic etc. So that you\u00a0<\/strong>can compare it with the new responsive site & know how your new website is\u00a0<\/strong>performing.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

3. 301 redirect to the new responsive URLs\u00a0from your old URLs. You will have to do it for\u00a0<\/strong>each URL\u2019s separately, it is daunting but necessary.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

4. Sometimes, there are images or a white paper that is in use & ranking well. You will have\u00a0<\/strong>to find them out and redirect them to your main site so that you don\u2019t lose traffic.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

5. Your site might have some Mobile-URL specific configuration like conditional redirects,\u00a0<\/strong>make sure you remove it.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

6. Setup rel=canonical<\/a> on the responsive URLs pointing to themselves.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

7. You can encourage the search engines spider to recrawl your M-URL by resubmitting\u00a0<\/strong>your M.site Google search console & Bing Webmaster Tools Sitemaps. By doing so, they will reindex your site faster and become aware<\/strong>\u00a0of the new 301 Redirects.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

8. Keep an eye on the progress by monitoring the index status of the old M.site on Google\u00a0<\/strong>Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

9. In about 3 months or more, Google will drop the M<\/strong> URLs out of the index. But only after\u00a0<\/strong>they become aware of the 301 redirects.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

10. Update the important links to the Old M.site & have them point to the new URLs.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

11. Make sure you change the new old M.site to the new one on all your marketing and\u00a0<\/strong>promotional materials.<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
