Page-to-page mapping
Pair legacy paths with the closest matching new page or episode.
Grow your audience
Move a podcast website without abandoning old URLs
Create a redirect map before switching domains or platforms so visitors and crawlers reach the most relevant replacement for each important old page.
URL redirect management is included on Creator and Studio.
What it does
Podcast website URL redirects, without the vague promises.
Permanent redirects are a strong canonicalization signal and the standard way to send an old URL to a replacement.
A good migration maps pages one by one. Redirecting every old route to the homepage creates a poor visitor experience and weakens relevance.
Permanent responses
Serve migration redirects as permanent routing decisions where configured.
Import workflow
Prepare and validate a redirect map for larger site moves.
How it works
From setup to public site.
Use the same controlled workflow whether you are starting your first website or maintaining an established show.
- 01
Inventory old URLs
Export or crawl important pages before the existing site is taken down.
- 02
Choose replacements
Map each valuable URL to the closest equivalent public destination.
- 03
Test after launch
Check status codes, redirect chains, canonicals, sitemaps, and missing pages.
SEO impact
How this feature supports a searchable podcast site.
Castee handles repeatable technical work while you control the accuracy, usefulness, and editorial quality of the public content.
Strong canonical signal
Google documents permanent redirects as a strong signal that the target should be canonical.
Preserve visitor paths
Existing bookmarks and external links continue to reach useful content.
Avoid chains
Point old URLs directly to the final destination and maintain the redirects long term.
Are redirects available on Free?
No. URL redirect management requires Creator or Studio.
Should every old URL redirect to the homepage?
No. Map each old URL to the most relevant replacement. Use a true not-found response when no reasonable replacement exists.
Do 301 redirects preserve all rankings?
They are the correct permanent-move mechanism and a strong canonical signal, but no platform can guarantee identical search performance after a migration.
