We need to change a page url for a listing when their is a change in listing name or address. It might be the case that the existing url might be indexed in google. If we change the url.. the existing url in google indexing will be 404.

For example:

Current url is example.com/test.html and it is indexed in google. Now we change it to example.com/test-new.html. So the url example.com/test.html will be 404 because it does not exist. So this is a problem.

My Solution:

We store all older urls of the listing in a db, check the listing existence we receive request from any of those urls, redirect to newest url and load the page.

When a user access example.com/test.html from google we will redirect it to example.com/test-new.html.
Is above solution is correct? Would it affect seo of the website?
