# Marketing URLs

The Marketing URLs section allows you to control and manage the marketing URLs for your pages. When creating your URLs, you can also create URL redirects.

An URL redirect is a simple way to send any customer to a different web page/URL from the one they typed, clicked on or searched for in a search engine. This is used when a webpage is moved to a new address, to make sure that visitors and search engines are automatically taken to the correct page.

Follow these steps to create or manage URLs:

### [](https://documentation.vin65.com/Content-Editor/Marketing-URLs)How do I implement a 301 redirect?

> A 301 redirect is used to ensure that links to your previous website that have already been indexed by Google are not broken when you migrate your website's pages to WineDirect. To set up a 301 redirect:
> 
> 1. Enter the URL of your previous page in the 'Marketing URL' box.
> 2. Enter the new URL that the customer should be redirected to in the 'Link URL' area.
> 
> When set up correctly, the customer will be able to access your page via the old URL. This is useful when migrating from another platform to WineDirect.

### [](https://documentation.vin65.com/Content-Editor/Marketing-URLs)Why isn't the marketing URL taking effect?

> Make sure you are applying your changes (page properties) AND saving your page before you check the page. If the page is already open in your browser, close it, then reopen it.
