GeoSwap vs Spreadsheets
GeoRedirect management that actually works
Spreadsheets can't detect redirect chains, loops, or broken links. GeoSwap can — and it's free.

TL;DR
GeoSwap is a free, SEO-safe geo-targeting platform with no pageview limits. Spreadsheets charges Free but manual with usage caps. Spreadsheets are where redirect management starts — but they can't validate redirects, detect chains, or alert you to broken links. GeoSwap imports your spreadsheet, adds automated validation, and gives you a proper redirect management dashboard. It's free and imports directly from CSV.

What Spreadsheets users are saying
“We had 400 redirects in a Google Sheet. Someone accidentally deleted a row and we didn't notice for two weeks. Lost SEO equity on a key page.”
“Our spreadsheet had a redirect chain we didn't catch — A→B→C→D. Four hops. Google basically gave up crawling that path.”
“Every time we do a site migration, someone copies the redirect spreadsheet and makes edits. Now we have three versions and nobody knows which is current.”
