    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.
