# SEO Redirects

Redirects are necessary when a location page is moved or changed.  These redirects are managed by a special location field called "redirect".

## Setup

To create a new field for redirects, click Data > Fields and create a new field.  Choose redirect for the name as shown below:

## Redirecting Locations

Under Data > All Records, find and Edit the location for which a redirect should be added.  Click **Custom Fields** and identify the Redirect field created above.  Enter the full URL where the system should redirect upon reaching this location's URL.  Be sure the URL is properly formatted and begins with "https" as shown below:

The next step is to unpublish the record from the All Records menu. This will cause future visits to the location's URL to redirect using the provided URL.
