A rebrand changes your name, logo, sometimes your domain. Without planning, customers searching your old name may not find you.
Before the rebrand
- Note current rankings, traffic and branded searches.
- Plan domain changes and URL mapping.
- List every place your name appears online.
On launch
- 301 redirects if the domain or URLs change; create rules with our redirect generator. Read changing domains.
- Update titles, content and schema with the new name; replace text in bulk with our find and replace tool.
- Mention “formerly known as” on About and home pages for a while.
Profiles and citations
- Update Google Business Profile name (only when signage changes).
- Update directories, social profiles and marketplaces.
Build new brand search
Announce the rebrand through PR, email, WhatsApp and social media so people search the new name.
