Hey all, Dan here from
Petal.
As our beta product approaches a 1.0 GA release, I am working on updating our website. Currently, we use Squarespace 7.0 and are planning to change to a 7.1 site because of it's more flexible layouts and updated features.
Based on what I've read, however, migrating from 7.0 to 7.1 on Squarespace requires creating a brand new site and then just re-creating content. My site has been live for a few years and I'm nervous that starting fresh can potentially demolish SEO.
Has anyone else had experience with this specific migration? Can anyone share tips on how to maintain SEO when setting up the new site? My assumed approach is to keep the URL structure the same so that backlinks aren't broken.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
