Replatforming to Shopify, WordPress, Next.js, or moving to a new domain? Without meticulous technical SEO oversight, migrations routinely wipe out 30% to 70% of organic traffic overnight. I eliminate that risk.

The 4-Phase Migration Protection Protocol

I embed directly with your software engineers and product managers weeks before launch day to test staging builds, craft granular regex redirects, and verify tag parity.

Phase 1

Pre-Launch Crawl

Extract every indexed, ranking, and backlink-carrying URL from historical Search Console, Ahrefs, and server logs.

Phase 2

1:1 Redirect Matrix

Map every legacy URL to its exact new destination. Zero lazy redirects to the homepage that destroy Google quality scores.

Phase 3

Staging Audit

Audit staging environments for canonical loops, accidentally exposed noindex tags, and missing schema markup.

Phase 4

DNS Go-Live & Watch

Live launch day monitoring, server response validation, XML sitemap resubmission, and Google Search Console Change of Address filing.

Migration FAQ

Website Migration FAQ

Answers regarding redirect mapping, temporary ranking fluctuations, and timelines.

When do I get the results?

In a properly managed migration, your primary result is 0% traffic loss from day one of DNS propagation. Google typically processes 301 redirects and transfers historical PageRank authority to new URLs within 14 to 30 days, after which organic growth resumes on the improved platform architecture.

How far in advance of launch day should we bring you in?

Ideally 3 to 6 weeks before DNS switchover. This provides ample time to crawl your legacy site, construct comprehensive 1:1 redirect maps, and thoroughly audit your staging server before code is deployed to production.

Why is redirecting everything to the homepage dangerous?

Google classifies mass redirects to the homepage as "Soft 404s" because the destination content does not match the original page's topic. This results in the complete loss of your historical keyword rankings and backlink authority. Every ranking page must be mapped to its closest relevant successor.

Can you fix a migration that already went wrong?

Yes. I frequently handle emergency post-migration recoveries. We reconstruct legacy URL inventories using historical web archives, Wayback Machine snapshots, and backlink APIs to deploy emergency server-level redirects and restore lost rankings.

How do you test 301 redirect maps before launching?

We run automated crawl simulations in Screaming Frog and custom HTTP curl suites against staging servers, verifying that every legacy URL resolves with a single 301 status code directly to its target without redirect chains or canonical mismatches.

What happens to internal links during a website migration?

We update all internal links across navigation menus, headers, footers, and in-content body links to point directly to the new URL structure, ensuring site architecture does not rely on redirect hops.
