Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hello! So I have a business that I run out of a single location for the last 3 years. I am unfortunately having to move here in the next few weeks

My question is what do I need to do in order to have the best chance at SEO for the new location? When should I make the changes?

Does it take a long time for me to stop showing up in the previous location? and is there something I need to do to remove those?

Also, is there an app or a website where I can find and update all listings at once or at least a bulk of them?

I know that there are some weird sites that have my business info in them that I did not put there. Obviously these would have the wrong address. Some do not have a contact info or a way for me to log into them. What would I do with these sites?

Thank you!

So about updating links to the new one. I see that you said that I should use the https://www.domain.com at all times.

Then you said that the www is considered a new entity, but then you mention that it was ok to not use the www in my domain.

Are you talking about the backlinking domains I do from here or on the actual website itself?

Last thing.  is the backlinking rule that it should always match the exact way it shows in the URL bar? So for example https://www.domain.com should always be https://www.domain.com and never https://domain.com or even domain.com?

I changed my URL from exampledetailing. com to exampleautodetailing. com. It is redirected with a 301. Also, it is on Squarespace AND I opted to add the www. So will the old backlinks of exampledetailing. com still help the new URL exampleautodetailing. com or do I need to try and update all the links? Also, future links, do I need to include the www. or just the root domain of exampleautodetailing. com or even the whole https://wwwexampleautodetailing. com? I believe the www is considered a sub domain and a new entity on Google, so I am not sure how that works. Thank you!
