The link structure has changed eg from site/original-page to ../blog/original-page.

Do you think I should make a 301 redirect to each post or should I keep the original page and modify it to inform visitors of the new location, e.g. a heading page saying This page has been updated and moved? or.. any other suggestions for converting from a page to blog post?

But one thing I am confused, if I change the URL and redirect the old URL to new one, then Google will index the new URL too, am I right? Then since the content of both old and new URL are same, will Google not count new URL as duplicate content?

In other words, if content on an old page now appears on a newly redesigned page with a new URL, a 301 redirect of the old page to the new page needs to be done. Many times, 301 redirects are only implemented for the home page, or the main URL. The impact of changes to every page needs to be considered to keep search equity from falling to the floor.

But so too are internal links… surprisingly often!!
