Changing from 7.0 --> 7.1. Will this hurt my SEO?

Hi @Debbie_C - moving from 7.0 to 7.1 won't hurt your SEO as long as you follow the below steps:

1. Map the URLs out the same on the 7.1 site as you did on the 7.0 site

2. If any of the URLs change, ensure to add 301 redirects

3. Complete an SEO audit on each of the new pages (my plugin has a free plan you can try)

4. Aim to add some more content (in the form of blogs that link to important pages) and backlinks if possible - this will help build momentum when you move

5. Ensure to submit your sitemap to Google Search Console when you move and manually request indexing on important pages of your site
