GLOSSARY TERM
What is 302 Redirect?
Definition
An HTTP status code indicating a temporary URL redirect. Search engines treat 302s as transient and continue to index the original URL.
Why it Matters for AI Search
Using 302 instead of 301 for permanent moves is one of the most common SEO bugs. The original URL keeps absorbing link signal that should flow to the new location, splitting authority and confusing crawlers.
