Safeguard results with SEO website migration services

If you are planning a significant site update, a website migration specialist is essential to protect your existing rankings and traffic. Unmanaged website migrations can lose between 50% and 90% of their organic traffic overnight – and while new websites are often an exciting time for all involved, likely with traffic and lead growth objectives, you can’t afford to lose significant traffic by ignoring SEO.

Our website migration services focus on safeguarding your hard-earned rankings and organic search traffic. Whether you are facing a redesign, restructure, or a brand change, we ensure keyword positions are maintained and that your authority in search remains intact after go-live.

Website migrations for every platform and CMS

Migrating between content management systems, such as from WordPress to Shopify, requires deep technical SEO and data analytics expertise. Our SEO website migration team works alongside your developers and content team to ensure best practices are baked into site architecture and on-page content from day one. We strive for SEO to be baked-in, rather than an afterthought.

We want to prove that your migration has been a success, too. By benchmarking your existing data, we can show data before and after the migration, allowing internal stakeholders to understand the success of the project.

We protect high-performing pages and backlinks, turning a technical project into a marketing powerhouse for growth. For example, our support for Paper Bag Company during a WordPress to Shopify transition protected over 500 keywords and increased organic revenue by 72%.

Global website migration services optimised for AI search

In the new search landscape of GEO and AI search, website migration services must account for Large Language Models (LLMs) and traditional search engines alike. Our website migration strategy includes optimising for AI search and innovation to future-proof your visibility. We want your new website to not just protect traffic, but be a great foundation for your website to grow in SEO and AI search for the long-term.

Our specialist team uses keyword research and URL mapping to determine headings, content, and title tags, making your new website more keyword targeted and more efficient overall. This ensures your expertise is interpreted correctly by generative engines, increasing the likelihood of your brand being cited as an authoritative source in AI-generated search results.

This rigorous process ensures no valuable traffic is lost and new opportunities are baked into your new site architecture. By involving an SEO agency early into the new website process, we can help to support your information architecture, and ensure naming conventions are aligned with how your audience is actually searching.

Recovering from a failed website migration

Has your recent website migration resulted in a significant decline in organic traffic?

We frequently support businesses who have experienced the negative impact of an unmanaged migration. When critical SEO foundations are missed, traffic, rankings, and revenue can drop sharply.

Our recovery projects are designed to stop the decline and stabilise performance. We act quickly to audit the migration, resolve urgent technical errors – such as broken redirects and 404 errors – and restore indexing for your high-value pages. Once stability is achieved, we look towards a long-term SEO strategy to not only recover lost equity, but to build a roadmap for sustainable growth.
