Ashir Azeem: Wilco Den Brok simply redirect Site A to site B using c panel
Michael Martinez: If the old company site isn`t huge, try to set up 1-to-1 redirects. A blanket redirect may be confusing to users expecting the old brand.And place an explanation on the site for 1-2 months to give people a chance to understand what happened.
Wilco Den Brok: Michael Martinez ok then the question is, how to set up 1-to-1 redirects? is there an plugin for that?
Michael Martinez: Wilco Den Brok WordPress has many redirect plugins.https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/redirect/
Wilco Den Brok: Michael Martinez watching the youtube already
Richard Hearne: Something missing here - you cannot simply redirect the traffic. You also need to migrate the content. Site B cannot rank for the same queries unless it maintains the content from Site A. Then it would indeed be redirects which achieve your end goal. But beware that other factors may come into play, especially differences in site architecture, internal linking on Site B etc.
