: SEO and 302 redirect from homepage to another domain There is a product that consists of multiple services that are hosted on different domains. One of the services is used to host user's packages

There is a product that consists of multiple services that are hosted on different domains. One of the services is used to host user's packages which are available through the URL:

service.productdomain.com/packageid


only direct links are used to access the packages, so the service doesn't have a homepage and requests to service.productdomain.com/ will be 302 redirected to productdomain.com/ (URL of the main product). Is it ok for search engines?

Will they request service.productdomain.com/robots.txt, sitemap (which is defined in robots.txt), and index other pages that are specified in sitemap?

I can also create a homepage with some general information and meta tags if existing approach doesn't work for search crawlers.

A 302 redirect is a temporary redirect. It passes 0% of link juice (ranking power) and, in most cases, should not be used.

It is common practice to redirect one URL to another. When doing this, it is critical to observe best practices in order to maintain SEO value.
