With more sites moving towards responsive web design, many webmasters have questions about migrating from separate mobile URLs, also frequently known as "m-dot URLs", to using responsive web design. Here are some recommendations on how to move from separate urls to one responsive URL in a way that gives your sites the best chance of performing well on Google's search results.
Once you have your responsive site ready, moving is something you can definitely do with just a bit of forethought. Considering your URLs stay the same for desktop version, all you have to do is to configure 301 redirects from the mobile URLs to the responsive web URLs.
Here are the detailed steps:
If you're currently using dynamic serving and want to move to responsive design, you don't need to add or change any redirects.
Moving to a responsive site should make maintenance and reporting much easier for you down the road.

As always, if you need more help you can ask a question in our webmaster forum.
