Title: How to Use URL Management & Broken Links in SEOLab (Step-by-Step)

What are broken links?

Broken links are links on a website that no longer work or lead to a missing page. When someone clicks a broken link, it usually shows a 404 error because the page has been deleted, moved, or the URL was entered incorrectly.

You can do this setup by following this guide:

Step 1 – Open the URL Management Section

1. In your Shopify Admin, go to:

Apps → SEOLab – SEO Optimizer

2. From the left menu, click URL Management.
3. Make sure the “Broken Links” tab is selected.

Step 2 – Run the Broken Links Finder

1. At the top-right, click the “Broken Links Finder” button.
2. SEOLab will start scanning your store for 404 / missing URLs.
3. After the scan, any broken links will appear in the list below
4. 
5. 

Step 3 – Turn On “Auto Fix Broken Links”

1. In the Auto fix broken links section, turn the toggle ON.

Target Link:

Target Link is the destination URL where you want visitors to be redirected when a broken or missing page (404) is found.

1. In Target Link, enter the URL where you want all new 404s to redirect

• Example: / (your homepage) or a main collection URL.

3. Click Save.

From now on, SEOLab will automatically redirect newly detected 404 links to the target URL you set.

Step 4 – Check “Unresolved Links”

1. Below the box, click the “Unresolved Links” tab.
2. Here you will see all broken links that still need action.
3. For each link, you can:

• Create Redirect → send it to a valid URL
• Ignore → if the link is not important

Step 5 – Manage Your Redirects

1. Click the “Manage Redirects” tab.
2. This page shows all redirects you have created through SEOLab.
3. You can:

• Edit the From URL or To URL
• Delete redirects you no longer need

This is useful to keep your redirect list clean and organized.

Step 6 – Ignored Links (Optional)

1. Click the “Ignored Links” tab.
2. These are links you chose to ignore (SEOLab will no longer flag them as broken).
3. You can un-ignore them later if you want SEOLab to track them again.
4. 

Step 7 – Use “Create a Redirect” (Manual Redirect)

Sometimes you already know an old URL that should redirect.

1. Click “Create a Redirect” (top-right).
2. Enter:

• From URL → the broken/old link
• To URL → the correct working page

3. Save.

This is perfect for deleted products, changed URLs, or rebranded pages.
