Once the operation is successful, you will see a notification in Google Search Console on both the old and new domain properties.

Search Console will begin populating your new domain (this may take a few days) and will notify you of any errors.

Note

You may also need to update other tools and platforms you use with your new domain. This includes things like your Google Business profile, social media pages, and any citations that mention your business details.

Step 6: Update all internal links
After you have verified your new domain, you need to begin the process of updating all of your website's internal links. You want to replace the links that point to your old domain with links that point to your new domain.

These old links will still work thanks to the redirects you implemented in step 4. But it’s still a good idea to update them.

Why is it important?

If you don't update your internal links, you're relying on redirects to get the user where they need to be. This can slow down your website, especially if you end up with redirect chains.

A redirect chain occurs when multiple redirects occur between an initial requested URL and the final destination URL. Each redirect can make your site slower for the user.

What is a redirect chain?
Not only can this confuse the user, but it can also impact how search engines crawl your website.

You can use Semrush’s Backlink Analytics tool to identify internal links that redirect to your old domain.
