Site Migration

Website migrations can be a very risky operation for SEO rankings. Any major change made to your website, either during the redesigning process, a switch of CMS platforms, changing the domain, a content restructure, or a URL overhaul, can have a huge impact on your search engine visibility. Sites without adequate SEO migration plans risk losing 20-70% of their traffic overnight, most often due to broken redirects, missing pages, indexing issues, or poor technical execution.

With my SEO Website Migration Service, I safeguard your rankings, traffic, and long-term performance effectiveness throughout the entire migration journey. It’s a process from pre-migration audits to post-launch stabilisation, in which every step is carefully planned and technically supervised, not only to avoid disruption but also to ensure continuous organic growth.

How much does the service cost?

The cost depends on the scope of work, which includes the size of the website and the amount of its content. My pricing offers the perfect balance between the time required and the quality of the work delivered.

What’s Included in SEO Website Migration Services

  1. Pre-Migration Audit

Before any work begins, I perform a full technical and structural assessment of your current website. This includes:

Before any changes can be made to your website, I will conduct a comprehensive technical and structural examination of your current website. This will include:

  • crawling your existing site
  • recognising indexable vs non-indexable pages
  • assessment of internal linking
  • complete assessment of technical health (canonical tags, robots directives, sitemaps)
  • assessing the relevance of the content and segment performance

The audit plays a vital role in establishing a solid foundation and identifying risks even before the migration takes place.

  1. URL Mapping & Redirect Strategy

The process involves identifying where each page of the existing site should redirect from one URL to another, and it remains a critical step in the migration. I create

  • an exhaustive list of all the URLs existing on your website
  • a one-to-one redirect map
  • rules for mass redirects
  • guidelines for parameter handling and canonical
  • redirect hierarchy based on priority

The redirect strategy supports your ranking signals and helps prevent 404 errors, redirect loops, and link equity loss.

  1. Risk Assessment

In every website migration, there is an introduction of risk, and early identification of these risks prevents costly mistakes. The review includes the following:

  • high-value pages at risk
  • indexation gaps
  • content duplication
  • structural inconsistencies
  • Core Web Vitals shifts
  • potential crawl issues

The risk assessment guide determines the migration plan and also ensures that no important pages are unnoticed.

  1. Staging Environment Technical Testing

Before the site goes live, the staging site, a private website for assessing the environment, reviewing updates, and ensuring SEO and technical standards. My work is to review:

  • crawlability
  • robots.txt and meta directives
  • page speed performance
  • internal linking
  • navigation structure
  • duplicate content risks
  • mobile usability
  • canonicalisation

It is important to check the website for possible errors and weaknesses at this stage to avoid real-world ranking loss.

  1. Post-Migration Audit

After the new website is published live, a thorough post-migration audit will be conducted by me to:

  • correct redirect implementation
  • sitemap accuracy
  • indexation of priority pages
  • absence of broken links
  • ensure correct configuration of XML/robots
  • facilitate metadata and schema preservation
  • consistent Google Search Console indexing behaviour

These tasks help monitor performance and ensure everything is working smoothly as designed and anticipated.

  1. Fixing Ranking & Traffic Drops

If​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ a ranking or traffic fluctuation takes place on your website following the migration, I will provide:

  • rapid diagnostics approach
  • recovery strategy plan
  • crawl and indexation issue fixes
  • redirect corrections
  • content and structural adjustments
  • performance optimisation

Developing a quick intervention strategy is essential to avoid long-term SEO damage and compromise.

Why SEO Website Migrations Are High-Risk

Migrations involve contributions from different teams, including developers, designers, content teams, and server environments. If there is no SEO or poor technical oversight, the likely issues that may arise are:

  • missing redirects
  • mismatched URL structures
  • broken internal links
  • duplicate pages
  • dropped metadata
  • incorrect canonical tags
  • blocked or noindexed pages
  • loss of content relevance

Handling an SEO migration properly means a smooth takeoff, consistent rankings, and the same number of visits you were getting before, without traffic interruption.
