Common SEO Questions
Migrating a website involves numerous complexities, and we understand the importance of maintaining your website’s current rankings, traffic, and revenue during this process. To ensure minimal disruption, we follow a systematic approach:
- Pre-Migration Analysis & Planning: Our team carries out an extensive pre-migration analysis to understand your current website’s structure, content, and SEO strengths. This helps us plan a migration strategy that preserves these elements and ensures continuity.
- Redirect Implementation: A key part of the process is implementing proper redirects. This is crucial for maintaining link equity and traffic flow to your new site from existing external links. We ensure every important page from your old site has a corresponding redirect to your new site.
- Testing & Quality Assurance: We conduct rigorous testing and quality assurance checks throughout the migration process. This allows us to identify any potential issues, such as broken links or loading errors, and fix them promptly to ensure a seamless user experience.
- Monitoring Post-Migration: After the migration, we closely monitor your website’s rankings, traffic, and revenue. Any significant changes are addressed immediately to mitigate potential negative impacts.
- Communication & Collaboration: Throughout the process, we maintain open lines of communication with your team. We provide regular updates and are always ready to address any concerns or challenges promptly.
The goal of our meticulous approach is to ensure that your website’s migration doesn’t negatively impact your SEO performance, but rather sets the stage for improved results in the future.
The timeline for an SEO migration process can vary depending on the complexity and size of your website. However, we typically follow a structured process that includes several key milestones and deliverables:
- Initial Consultation & Analysis: The first step in our SEO migration process is to understand your current website’s state. We conduct an initial consultation and thorough analysis of your existing SEO performance and website structure.
- Migration Strategy & Plan: Based on our initial analysis, we develop a customised migration strategy tailored to your website. This strategy includes an implementation plan outlining the key tasks and timelines.
- On-Page SEO Optimisations: We conduct on-page SEO optimisations, including keyword research, content optimisation, and meta tag updates. These efforts help to ensure your new website is fully optimised for search engines and users.
- Technical SEO Changes: We implement necessary technical SEO changes such as URL structure updates and redirects. These changes help to preserve link equity and maintain your website’s visibility in search engine results.
- Monitoring & Testing: After launching the new website, we monitor and test it meticulously for any issues or errors. This helps to identify and fix potential problems promptly.
- Progress Tracking & Reporting: We track the progress of key metrics like rankings, traffic, and conversions post-migration. Regular reports are provided to keep you updated on the performance of your new website.
- Ongoing Optimisation: Lastly, we continually optimise and adjust strategies based on the performance data. This ensures your website continues to improve and achieve your SEO goals.
