A Few Companies That Trust Our Team and Process
Our SEO Migration Services
Planning and Benchmarking
Before making any changes, we analyze your current SEO performance and map out high-value pages, traffic sources, backlinks, and ranking keywords to make sure nothing gets lost in the shuffle. We use tools like Google Analytics, Semrush, and Google Search Console to handle this stage of the process.
Technical SEO Audits
We conduct a full technical audit of your existing website and new platform to identify potential risks, such as crawlability issues, slow page seeds, or mobile usability concerns.
Keyword Research
If your new site structure or content changes, we make sure you’re targeting the right keywords. This way, you’ll preserve your rankings for existing terms and identify opportunities for improvement.
Sitemap Planning
We create a clear, optimized sitemap to understand the pages already on your site and how they relate to each other. We identify any pages that need to be removed and redirected or any pages that need to be added. This helps us make sure everything important remains accessible and is properly indexed.
Content and On-Page SEO Checks
If your site has content and pages that generate a large amount of organic traffic or leads, we make sure those page structures and content pieces are either included in the migration, either consolidated or in their original forms. For example, if you have two similar blog posts generating traffic, our content team will consolidate them into one post that has the best of both original pieces of content.
At the same time, we analyze and optimize title tags, meta descriptions, headers, and internal linking to maintain search relevance across all pages.
Redirect Strategies
We start by determining what URLs to keep, redirect, or remove. For the ones that we keep, we set up domain transfers to make sure the new domain doesn’t lose the value of the old one. We also set up 301 redirects so that individual URLs from the old domain are properly redirected to specific URLs on the new one.
Launch and Testing
Before going live, we perform detailed pre-launch checks to test site speed, functionality, and indexability so everything is in place on launch day.
Post-Migration Monitoring
SEO migration doesn’t stop at launch. We track rankings, traffic, and site health after migration and make adjustments as needed to preserve and improve your visibility.

Benefits of Working with an SEO Migration Agency
Move Your Site Without Losing Traffic
Let’s say you want to migrate to a new CMS (content management system). The migration goes off without a hitch, but when you check Google Analytics, you realize you’ve lost 40% of your organic traffic due to missing redirects and broken internal links. Our structured strategy helps prevent these issues before they happen.
Future-Proof Your Website
A well-executed migration preserves your rankings, sure, but it’s also an opportunity to improve your site speed, mobile-friendliness, and overall SEO strategy to set your business up for long-term success.
For example, one of our clients saw a 45% increase in organic conversions within the first three months after launching their new website. What would an increase like that mean for the future of your business?
