Site Migration
What is Site Migration?
Site migration refers to a significant change to a website that can impact its search engine visibility. This change can encompass various elements: from the site’s location (changing domains) and platform (moving to a new CMS) to its structure, content, design, or user experience. The goal is often to improve the website’s functionality, user experience, or platform efficiency. However, if not executed correctly, site migration can lead to traffic loss, reduced search visibility, and other unintended consequences.
The Importance of Expert Site Migration
Site migration, whether it’s a change in domain, CMS shift, site restructuring, or a full redesign, is a significant undertaking. It’s not just about moving content; it’s about preserving SEO equity, ensuring uninterrupted user experience, and maintaining site functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will site migration affect my current SEO rankings?
While site migration has the potential to impact SEO, our primary goal is to preserve (or even enhance) your current rankings. With proper planning, technical execution, and post-migration audits, we strive to mitigate risks associated with SEO drops.
How long does the site migration process usually take?
The duration varies based on the complexity of the migration. For instance, a simple domain change might be quicker than a full CMS transition or site redesign. Typically, we’ll provide a timeline after assessing the scope of the migration.
Will my website face downtime during migration?
We aim to minimize downtime. Often, we’ll work on a staging environment, ensuring everything is set before making the switch. Any downtime, if necessary, is usually brief and can be scheduled during off-peak hours to minimize disruptions.
Can I migrate only a section of my website instead of the whole site?
Yes, partial migrations are possible. Whether it’s a specific category, a set of pages, or a particular functionality, we can assist with targeted migrations while ensuring the rest of the site remains unaffected.
How does site migration impact website users?
The goal of any migration is to either enhance the user experience or maintain its familiarity. While users might notice design changes or new features, the transition should feel intuitive and not hinder their usual interactions with the site.
Do I need to inform search engines about my site migration?
It’s a good practice to update search engines about significant changes, like domain shifts. Tools like Google Search Console allow site owners to notify Google about domain changes, ensuring the transition is recognized and processed faster by search engines.
