CMS Change
Switching CMS Platform? An SEO Migration Is Essential

A website migration carries plenty of moving parts. One slip in execution, even a single one, can prompt search engines to reassess your whole site, and years of SEO history can disappear in a moment. That’s exactly where we step in. We build tailored migrations centred on search optimisation, with every technical and SEO angle accounted for.

We deliver Shopify, Magento and WordPress SEO migrations across New Zealand, and we’re a strong choice wherever your site happens to be hosted. Before you commit to anything hasty, talk to our specialists for a bespoke strategy grounded in years of hands-on work.

Domain Change
Moving Your Domain? An SEO Migration Comes First

Changing your domain is an exciting step. You could be opening up room for the business to grow and sharpening the user experience to bring in more sales. Before you take the leap, put a clear strategy in place so the transition lands cleanly. That way none of the SEO equity you’ve built over the years slips away. In fact, here at Kia Ora Digital, we’ve carried out website migrations that have lifted SEO performance rather than dented it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have a question or two?
Or wondering whether an SEO migration is the right call for you?

A website migration brings plenty of complexity, and we take seriously how important it is to hold onto your current rankings, traffic and revenue throughout. To keep disruption to a minimum, we work through a structured approach:

  • Pre-Migration Analysis Planning: Our team runs a detailed pre-migration analysis to get a full picture of your current site’s structure, content and SEO strengths. That insight shapes a migration plan that protects those elements and keeps things consistent.
  • Redirect Implementation: Setting up the right redirects is central to the process. It’s what keeps link equity and traffic flowing to your new site from existing external links. We make sure every important page on your old site points to a matching page on the new one.
  • Testing Quality Assurance: We run thorough testing and quality assurance throughout the migration. That lets us catch problems such as broken links or loading errors early and fix them quickly, so the experience stays smooth for users.
  • Monitoring Post-Migration: Once the migration is live, we keep a close watch on your rankings, traffic and revenue. Anything that shifts noticeably is dealt with straight away to head off any negative impact.
  • Communication Collaboration: All the way through, we keep the lines open with your team. We share regular updates and are always on hand to talk through any concerns or hurdles.

The point of this careful approach is to make sure your migration doesn’t set back your SEO performance, but instead lays the groundwork for stronger results down the track.

Yes. We keep supporting and monitoring your site after the migration so your SEO performance carries on thriving. That work includes:

  • Keeping a regular eye on rankings, traffic and conversions.
  • Sorting out any technical issues that crop up.
  • Running periodic SEO audits and optimisations.
  • Suggesting content updates and improvements.
  • Working alongside your team to keep SEO efforts aligned with your business goals.

What an SEO migration costs comes down to the size and complexity of the site, the scope of the work, and your specific goals and requirements. We put together customised solutions to suit your situation. Get in touch for a detailed quote and a proper chat about your project.

The timeline for an SEO migration shifts with the complexity and size of your site. Even so, we tend to follow a structured process with a clear set of milestones and deliverables:

  • Initial Consultation Analysis: We start by getting to grips with where your current site stands. That means an initial consultation and a careful analysis of your existing SEO performance and site structure.
  • Migration Strategy Plan: Working from that analysis, we build a customised migration strategy tailored to your site, with an implementation plan that lays out the key tasks and timings.
  • On-Page SEO Optimisations: We carry out on-page SEO work, including keyword research, content optimisation and meta tag updates, so your new site is fully optimised for both search engines and users.
  • Technical SEO Changes: We put the necessary technical SEO changes in place, such as URL structure updates and redirects, to protect link equity and keep your visibility in search results.
  • Monitoring Testing: Once the new site launches, we monitor and test it closely for any issues or errors, so problems get spotted and fixed promptly.
  • Progress Tracking Reporting: We track how the key metrics, rankings, traffic and conversions, move after the migration, and send you regular reports on how the new site is performing.
  • Ongoing Optimisation: Finally, we keep refining and adjusting the strategy based on the performance data, so your site keeps improving and meeting your SEO goals.

Every one of these steps matters to a successful SEO migration. Our team stays close to you at each stage, keeping you informed and involved throughout.
