Redesigns, rebrands and replatforms without the traffic cliff. We plan, map and monitor your migration so rankings survive the move, and usually improve after it.
A successful website migration requires careful SEO planning before, during and after launch. We help preserve important search signals, manage URL changes and identify issues that could affect organic performance.
Map existing URLs, content and search signals into the new website structure where appropriate.
Identify technical, content and redirect issues before they affect the live website.
Check critical SEO elements after launch and identify issues requiring immediate attention.
Every migration carries different risks. We assess your existing website, proposed changes, platform and search performance to determine which SEO requirements need to be addressed before, during and after launch.
Identify existing URLs, priority pages and redirects required for the new website.
Review important content and metadata that should be retained, improved or intentionally changed.
Account for CMS, eCommerce or technology changes that may affect technical SEO implementation.
Use existing rankings, traffic and search data to identify pages requiring additional migration attention.
We combine migration planning, technical SEO and post-launch validation to reduce avoidable search disruption when your website changes.

Answers to common questions about SEO migrations, redirects, website redesigns and managing search performance during major website changes.
An SEO website migration is the process of managing search-related requirements when a website undergoes significant changes.
This can include domain changes, redesigns, CMS migrations, URL restructuring, HTTPS changes or major changes to website architecture and content.
Yes. Website migrations can affect rankings and organic traffic when URLs, content, internal links or technical signals change.
Planning, redirect mapping, technical checks and post-launch monitoring help reduce avoidable migration problems, although maintaining identical rankings or traffic cannot be guaranteed.
Redirects are commonly required when existing URLs are changed or removed.
Old URLs should generally be mapped to the most relevant new destination where an appropriate equivalent exists. Redirecting every old URL to the homepage is usually not an appropriate migration strategy.
SEO should ideally be considered during planning, before the new website launches.
This allows URL structures, redirects, content, technical settings and staging issues to be reviewed while changes can still be made more efficiently.
Post-launch checks can include redirects, status codes, canonicals, robots directives, XML sitemaps, internal links, crawling, indexation and priority page performance.
The exact checks depend on the type and scale of the migration.
We will review where you stand, show you the biggest opportunities, and come back with a scoped, itemised plan. No obligation.
