■ Website migration services

Move your website without losing the traffic you earned.

A new platform, a new host or a new domain should not cost you your rankings. We plan the move like an SEO project: list every page, map every address, test on a private copy, and watch search results closely for weeks after the switch.

  • Every address mapped
  • Tested before the switch
  • Quiet-hour cutover
  • Watched for weeks after
Why moves go wrong

A migration is not a copy. It is a change of address.

Search engines remember your old addresses. If a page moves and nothing tells them where, its rankings fall. The whole job is to say, clearly and for every page: it used to be here, and now it is there.

How a migration runs

Before, during and after the move.

Each stage has a checklist you can read.

01

Crawl and inventory

We list every page, image, file and link on the old site and record its traffic and rankings.

Week 1
02

Map the addresses

Each old address is matched to its new one in a sheet you can read and approve.

Week 1 to 2
03

Build on a private copy

The new site is built and filled on a staging address that search engines cannot see.

Weeks 2 to 5
Where a move can go wrong

Six places we check twice.

These are the points where rankings and sales are usually lost.

Check 01

Redirects for every page

Permanent redirects from each old address to its closest new page, tested in bulk before and after the switch.

  • 301 redirects
  • Redirect map
  • No chains
Two ways to move

A careless move, or a planned one?

A careless move

Rankings fall, sales slow

  • The new site is built first, addresses are an afterthought.
  • Old pages simply disappear.
  • Nobody tests the redirects.
  • Tracking breaks and the numbers have a gap.
  • No one watches search results afterwards.
A planned move

Rankings hold, sales carry on

  • Addresses are mapped before the build.
  • Every old page goes to a matching new page.
  • Redirects are tested in bulk.
  • Tracking is moved and confirmed.
  • We watch results every day at first.
Live in weeks, not months
Switch day
What you get

A calm switch and a clear report.

On the day of the switch we do the work, and you get updates in plain language. Afterwards you get a report that compares traffic, rankings and errors before and after.

  • A written plan with dates
  • A private test copy you can review
  • A redirect sheet you can read
  • A before and after report

Website migration, in detail.

1 min read · 5 sections

01Types of migration

  • Platform change, for example Wix to WordPress or Magento to Shopify
  • Host change, for example shared hosting to a faster plan or the cloud
  • Domain change after a rebrand or a merger
  • Switch from HTTP to HTTPS or from www to non-www
  • Redesign with new page addresses
  • Merging several sites into one

02How search engines treat a move

Search engines index addresses, not sites. If an address changes, they need a permanent redirect to learn where the page went. When the redirect is missing or points to the wrong page, rankings and traffic from that page fall. When the redirect is right, most of the value carries over within weeks.

03What we put in the plan

  • A crawl of every page, file and link on the old site
  • Traffic and ranking data per page
  • A redirect map matched page to page
  • A staging copy closed to search engines
  • A test list for forms, tracking and speed
  • A cutover plan with a time and a rollback
  • A daily watch list for the first two weeks

04Cutover day

We pick a quiet hour, pause edits on the old site, copy the final content and data, switch DNS and turn on redirects. We test the live site straight away and keep the old site ready for a quick return if anything looks wrong.

05After the move

We check Search Console, server logs, rankings and errors each day at first, then weekly. We fix missed pages, redirects and tags quickly, and finish with a before and after report.

FAQ

Questions about website migration.

Will I lose my Google rankings?

A planned move should keep most of them. Small dips for a short time are normal. We map every address and watch results closely so any problem is caught early.

How long does a migration take?

A small site can move in a couple of weeks. A large site or a shop takes longer, because of testing. You get dates in writing.

Will my website go offline?

No. The new site is built on a private copy, and the switch takes minutes at a quiet hour. The old site stays available for a quick return.

Can you move from Wix or Squarespace?

Yes. These platforms limit control over addresses and code, so we plan the redirects carefully and move your content and images.

What about my emails and domain?

Email and domain settings are kept as they are unless you want them changed. We check them before and after the switch.

Do you move online stores?

Yes. Products, customers, orders and addresses are moved, with test orders before the new store goes live.
