Mask URL of 301 redirect with htaccess – SEO

So I’m wondering how you do this with .htaccess. I have a URL that is www.websites.com/seo_packages.htm and I’d like www.websites.com/seo-packages to be what they type to get to the previous URL. I’ve done it as a 301 redirect, however it doesn’t retain the masking of /seo-packages. What’s the best way to retain the masking?

    I’m not sure what you mean by “retain the masking”, but you could create a file www.websites.com/seo-packages/index.html with the following content:

    <html>
  <head>
    <META http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=www.websites.com/seo_packages.htm">
  </head>
  <body>
  </body>
</html>

    This will automatically redirect visitors to the new URL.

    You just need a single rule in your site root .htaccess:

    RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^(seo-packages)/?$ $1.htm [L,NC]

    Make sure to clear your browser cache when testing it.
