Hello there.
I'm wondering if some of you guys could help us with our situation. Unfortunately at this time our company have no indoor SEO expert because we had quite a hard time with them and management decided to fall this burden on ourselves. I decided to reach out there hoping some of you could provide something meaningful. You are our last hope
So now we have a knowledge base of our product with more than 140 articles. We used ZenDesk system to manage it. And we have a plan to start a new KB based on WordPress and migrate all the content into it. We made this decision because we were unhappy with SEO level that ZD was able to provide for us. Whereas, WP is a way more powerful tool in terms of SEO. It has Yoast plugin and other stuff that is proven by the whole world.
And our biggest concern at this time is how should we replace the old knowledge base with that bunch of articles which a new one, that is on WordPress... The biggest risk there is a possibility of getting our new or old knowledge base penalized by Google because of duplicate content issue. We assume that we likely should keep only one version of the site to avoid this situation... But the situation requires more measures to be taken, probably, that's why I'm asking.
We tried to develop some kind of plan and gather knowledge from the internet. For the most part, they recommend to use canonical tag for the new content and noindex nofollow tags for the old content to take it off the track. But the situation remains to be quite foggy for us. What should we do first? How to deal with the old content? What issues should we expect and be ready to tackle?
We really want to hear what you guys think and we would be appreciate for every word you post.
