Strategy: Rebranding

策略:品牌重塑

Guides rebranding execution: domain change, 301 redirects, migration checklist, and communication (social media, internal). Plan for months, not days or weeks. See domain-selection for initial domain choice; domain-architecture for domain structure decisions; multi-domain-brand-seo when multiple domains coexist.
When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.
指导品牌重塑的执行工作:包括域名变更、301重定向、迁移清单以及沟通(社交媒体、内部沟通)。规划周期应以月为单位,而非天或周。初始域名选择可参考domain-selection;域名结构决策可参考domain-architecture;多域名共存场景可参考multi-domain-brand-seo
调用时机:首次使用时,如有必要,先用1-2句话说明本技能涵盖的内容及其重要性,再提供主要输出内容。后续使用或用户要求跳过说明时,直接输出主要内容。

Initial Assessment

初始评估

Check for product marketing context first: If
.claude/product-marketing-context.md
or
.cursor/product-marketing-context.md
exists, read it for brand and product info.
Identify:
  1. Scope: Full rebrand (name, domain, identity) vs partial (logo, messaging only)
  2. Domain change: Yes or no; old → new mapping
  3. Timeline: Target launch date; typical 4–12 weeks
  4. Channels: Website, social, product UI, directories, email
首先检查产品营销上下文:若存在
.claude/product-marketing-context.md
.cursor/product-marketing-context.md
文件,请读取其中的品牌和产品信息。
明确以下信息:
  1. 范围:全面品牌重塑(名称、域名、品牌标识)vs 部分重塑(仅logo、品牌信息)
  2. 域名变更:是或否;旧域名→新域名的对应关系
  3. 时间线:目标上线日期;通常为4-12周
  4. 渠道:网站、社交媒体、产品UI、目录、邮件

Rebranding Timeline (Typical)

品牌重塑时间线(典型)

PhaseDurationFocus
Audit & planWeeks 1–2Brand audit; inventory touchpoints; migration plan
PrepareWeeks 2–6New assets; redirect mapping; staging; backup
Pre-launchWeek 6–8Internal announcement; social handle check; teasers
LaunchWeek 8+Go live; 301 redirects; multi-channel announcement
Post-launch2–4 weeksMonitor search, traffic; fix 404s; iterate
Principle: Plan for months. Avoid changing domain and major structure in one migration—split into smaller migrations when possible.
阶段时长重点
审计与规划第1-2周品牌审计;盘点所有触点;制定迁移计划
准备阶段第2-6周制作新资产;重定向映射;staging环境搭建;备份数据
上线前准备第6-8周内部公告;检查社交媒体账号;发布预告内容
正式上线第8周及以后正式启用新品牌;设置301重定向;多渠道发布公告
上线后跟进2-4周监控搜索情况、流量;修复404错误;优化调整
原则:规划周期应以月为单位。避免在一次迁移中同时变更域名和主要网站结构——如有可能,拆分为多次小型迁移。

301 Redirect Best Practices

301重定向最佳实践

PracticePurpose
1:1 mappingEach old URL → most relevant new URL; never redirect all to homepage
301 (permanent)Use 301, not 302; 302 does not fully transfer SEO equity
No chains/loopsOld URL → final destination directly; avoid A→B→C
Redirect mapping sheetDocument every old→new mapping; prevents ~80% of migration failures
Don't block in robots.txtRedirected URLs should not be disallowed
实践方法目的
一对一映射每个旧URL指向最相关的新URL;绝不能将所有旧URL重定向到首页
301(永久重定向)使用301而非302;302无法完全传递SEO权重
避免链式/循环重定向旧URL直接指向最终目标页面;避免A→B→C的链式跳转
重定向映射表记录所有旧URL→新URL的映射关系;可避免约80%的迁移失败问题
不在robots.txt中屏蔽被重定向的URL不应被禁止抓取

Common Mistakes

常见错误

  • Redirect chains (multiple hops)
  • Redirect loops
  • Redirecting everything to homepage
  • Using 302 for permanent moves
  • Blocking redirected URLs in robots.txt
  • 链式重定向(多次跳转)
  • 循环重定向
  • 将所有URL重定向到首页
  • 永久迁移使用302重定向
  • 在robots.txt中屏蔽被重定向的URL

Domain Migration Checklist

域名迁移清单

Pre-Migration

Launch

上线阶段

  • Implement 301 redirects
  • Update Google Search Console (change of address)
  • Update sitemaps, robots.txt
  • Verify new site works; test redirects (curl, Screaming Frog)
  • Add GA4 annotation for migration date
  • 部署301重定向
  • 更新Google Search Console(地址变更)

  • 在GA4中添加迁移日期标注

Post-Migration

迁移后

  • Monitor GSC coverage; fix "Page with Redirect" issues
  • Fix 404s immediately
  • Expect temporary ranking fluctuation (2–4 weeks)
  • Do not delete old site as fallback
  • 监控GSC覆盖情况;修复“带有重定向的页面”问题
  • 立即修复404错误
  • 排名可能出现临时波动(持续2-4周)
  • 不要删除旧网站,作为备用方案

Social Media Announcement

社交媒体公告

Three Phases

三个阶段

PhaseActions
Pre-LaunchFinalize new identity; audit social presence; secure handles across platforms; internal alignment
Build AnticipationTease with sneak peeks; cryptic visuals; influencer/ambassador previews; avoid announcing too soon
ExecuteAll platforms updated together; new bios, handles, visuals; compelling rebrand story (why, not what)
阶段行动
上线前最终确定新品牌标识;审计社交媒体账号;在各平台锁定账号名称;内部统一认知
预热阶段发布预告内容;使用神秘视觉素材;邀请KOL/品牌大使提前预览;避免过早正式宣布
执行阶段同时更新所有平台的信息;更换新简介、账号名称、视觉素材;打造有吸引力的品牌重塑故事(重点是“为什么”而非“是什么”)

What to Avoid

注意事项

  • Don't list steps or technical details—focus on story and benefit
  • Don't announce before all pieces are in place (mixed messaging)
  • Don't rely on one channel—multi-channel rollout
  • Don't bombard with "why we rebranded" unless it resonates
  • 不要罗列步骤或技术细节——重点讲述故事和用户收益
  • 不要在所有准备工作完成前宣布(避免信息混乱)
  • 不要仅依赖单一渠道——采用多渠道同步发布
  • 不要反复推送“我们为什么重塑品牌”,除非内容能引起用户共鸣

Rebrand Story

品牌重塑故事

  • Anchor: Emotionally resonating narrative; why now; how it benefits customers
  • Avoid: "We changed our logo" / "We updated our website" without context
  • 核心:情感共鸣的叙事;为什么选择现在重塑;对客户有什么好处
  • 避免:只说“我们更换了logo”/“我们更新了网站”却不提供背景信息

Internal Communication

内部沟通

  • Brief all employees before public launch
  • Explain strategic reasons; equip them to answer customer questions
  • Update email signatures, Slack, internal docs
  • Internal FAQ for common rebrand questions
  • 正式对外发布前,向所有员工同步信息
  • 解释战略原因;让员工能够解答客户的常见问题
  • 更新邮件签名、Slack、内部文档
  • 制定内部FAQ,解答关于品牌重塑的常见问题
