What’s Included

Migration Types We Support

Every type of site change carries SEO risk. We cover the full range of migration scenarios with thorough pre- and post-migration support.

Replatforming
Moving from one CMS or platform to another — WordPress to Shopify, Magento to WooCommerce, or any other combination. Full URL mapping and redirect strategy included.

Domain Changes
Moving to a new domain, consolidating multiple domains, or switching from HTTP to HTTPS. Protecting link equity and ensuring Google correctly attributes your authority.

URL Restructures
Reorganising your URL structure for better architecture without losing the ranking value your existing pages have built up over time.

Site Merges
Consolidating two or more websites into a single domain. Complex to execute without traffic loss but achievable with a thorough pre-migration content audit and redirect map.

Redesigns
A full visual redesign that changes templates, page structure, or navigation. We ensure SEO elements are preserved and the new design does not break what is already working.

Post-Migration Recovery
Already seen a traffic drop after a migration? We diagnose what went wrong — missed redirects, lost content, canonicalisation errors — and build a recovery plan.

Before, During, and After

A Migration Is Three Projects, Not One

Most traffic loss after a migration happens because SEO is brought in too late. We get involved before a single page is moved, then stay involved until Google has fully re-crawled and re-indexed the new site.

  • Pre-migration crawl and benchmark of current rankings and traffic
  • Full URL mapping of old to new pages
  • Redirect plan written and signed off before go-live
  • On-site review of staging environment before launch
  • Post-launch monitoring of crawl errors, ranking shifts, and index coverage
  • Issue identification and fix within days, not weeks
Full Migration Support

  • Pre-migration SEO benchmark report
  • Complete URL redirect mapping spreadsheet
  • Staging environment SEO checklist review
  • Post-launch crawl report within 48 hours of go-live
  • 30-day post-migration monitoring and issue resolution

E-E-A-T: Why It Matters for Your Rankings

Google’s quality guidelines centre on Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness. Sites that demonstrate strong E-E-A-T signals consistently outperform competitors in competitive search results.

Every piece of SEO work we deliver is built with E-E-A-T in mind, from structured author credentials and first-hand experience signals to authoritative backlinks and transparent business information.

This is not about ticking boxes. It is about building a site that Google and your customers genuinely trust.

Common Questions

SEO Migration FAQs


As early as possible — ideally before any development work begins on the new site. The earlier SEO is involved, the less corrective work is needed later. Key decisions about URL structure, content architecture, and redirect strategy are much easier to get right during the planning phase than to fix after launch. If your migration is already underway, bring us in immediately — it is never too late to reduce risk.


A small, temporary fluctuation in rankings and traffic is normal as Google re-crawls and re-indexes your site. This typically settles within four to eight weeks if the migration has been executed correctly. Significant or sustained traffic loss — anything over 10–15% that does not recover — is a sign that something went wrong and requires investigation. Our post-migration monitoring is designed to catch these issues early.


A redirect map is a document that pairs every old URL on your site with the corresponding new URL, along with the redirect type (typically 301 for permanent moves). Without one, you risk broken links, lost link equity, and pages that simply disappear from Google’s index. A thorough redirect map is the single most important deliverable in any migration where URLs are changing.


Yes. Post-migration recovery is one of the most common scenarios we encounter. We start with a crawl of the new site, compare it against an archive of the old site, and cross-reference against your Google Search Console data to identify exactly where and why traffic has been lost. Common causes include missing or broken redirects, deindexed pages, lost canonical signals, and content that did not transfer correctly. We build a prioritised fix list and implement it as quickly as possible.


Not always, but more often than people expect. If a redesign involves changes to your URL structure, navigation, page templates, or content — and most significant redesigns involve at least some of these — then SEO oversight is strongly recommended. Even visual-only redesigns can inadvertently remove schema markup, change heading structures, or break internal linking in ways that impact rankings. A pre-launch review catches these issues before they cause harm.
