Migrate SEO URLs to WooCommerce: Preserving SEO During Data Migration

When performing a data migration to WooCommerce, it's crucial to preserve your existing SEO URLs to maintain search engine rankings. Cart2Cart helps you migrate your SEO URLs, but it's important to understand how WooCommerce handles them.

Why Migrate SEO URLs During Your Data Migration?

Migrating your SEO URLs ensures that your website retains its search engine visibility. Without migrating these URLs, you risk losing valuable organic traffic and search engine rankings. Cart2Cart's data migration service includes an option to migrate SEO URLs to minimize disruption during your switch to WooCommerce.

How Cart2Cart Migrates SEO URLs to WooCommerce

During migration to WooCommerce when you select the "Migrate SEO URLs" option, Cart2Cart transfers your SEO keywords. However, due to WooCommerce's default permalink structure, the resulting URLs may differ slightly. WordPress has its own built-in URL building conventions.

For example, in your previous store (e.g., Magento):

http://your-store.com/macbook-silver-13

After the migration to WooCommerce, it might look like this:

http://your-store.com/product/macbook-silver-13

The /product/ is added by default by WooCommerce. You can customize this by logging into your WordPress admin panel and navigating to Settings -> Permalinks.

For example, you can set a custom base like /shop/, resulting in URLs like:

http://your-store.com/shop/macbook-silver-13

If an SEO URL already exists in your WooCommerce store, a prefix or index number might be added to ensure uniqueness.

For example, if the SEO URL macbook-silver-13 already exists, it might be altered to macbook-silver-13-2, and so on, until a unique URL is generated.
