Advice on using redirects when moving website from blogger to Google sites

Hi folks , I'm a small business owner , my organisation mainly povides support to NGOS and social issue organisations.

I'm in the process of switching my website from blogger to Google sites. I'm keeping the same domain but pointing it to sites rather than blogger.

I was wondering if you could give me some advice on the best way to treat the old site and redirects.

What are the best practices with how to treat the old blogger based

Should I

A) turn it off completely ? B) set blogger so that it can't be found on search engines ? C) use a meta refreshed redirect ?

I'm a bit concerned that meta refresh reddrects might make us be flagged for spam/ delisted.

(Blogger can't do 301 redirects , and we can't make the new URL structure match the old unfortunatelt)

For context , we don't really aim to generate cold leads or enquiries from search/our website or sell to the public. Basically we assume that our website is a backup reference point so that anyone who already knows about us can find us and read some more. It's not very important for people to be able to search for the sort of thing we do and find us. We mainly just want to make sure that people who search our company name can find us.

  • we don't really anticipate that a lot of traffic will end up on our old site. We are small , but have been going for a few years. We mainly want o make sure anyone who ends up on the old site by mistake knows it's on old site and can find the new one.

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

7 SEO Lessons I've Learned in 2025 (So Far) - From Building a Competitor Analysis Tool

Hey r/SEO , I've been spending a lot of time lately building a competitor keyword research tool (more on that below!), and it's really forced me to dig deep into how SEO works today . Here are some of the key lessons I've learned – hopefully, they're helpful to you too: Keyword Gaps Are Gold: It's not enough to just know what keywords your competitors rank for. You need to know what they rank for that you don't . This is where the real opportunities lie. Focusing on these "gap" keywords has been a game-changer for my own site. (This is actually why I built the tool – to make finding these gaps easier). Relevance > Volume (Sometimes): High search volume is great, but relevance is even more important. A keyword with 100 searches per month that's perfectly aligned with your niche and audience is often more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 searches that's only tangentially related. I've seen much better results targeting tho...
