How to Set Up Redirects When Replacing Hundreds of Old Pages

Updating or replacing hundreds of pages? Without proper redirects, you’ll lose SEO equity, break links, and frustrate users. With Summrly, you can automatically set up 301 redirects at scale. Enter your topic or upload your old and new URLs, and AI maps them intelligently — preserving rankings, protecting backlinks, and ensuring a smooth transition with zero downtime.

Why a Content-First Website Solves This

Most redirect processes are manual, error-prone, and time-consuming. Summrly starts with your content strategy and automates the entire redirect workflow. It analyzes old and new page intent, suggests the best redirect matches, and generates a clean redirect file (or integrates directly with your CMS). This means no lost traffic, no orphaned pages, and no SEO crashes during site migrations.

Set Up Your Content Focus – Choose “content migration” or “SEO preservation.”
Add Keywords – AI uses keyword overlap to match old and new pages accurately.
Brand Details – Add your domain and preferred redirect method (e.g., .htaccess, plugin).
Complete Setup – Upload old URLs and new content — get an automated redirect map in seconds.
