Migrate your website without losing what you've already earned.
Moving to a faster platform, a full redesign, or a new host? I plan and run the migration so your rankings, traffic and content come with you — not get left behind.
Why site migrations tank rankings
Most ranking losses after a migration aren't inevitable — they're the result of skipping a step. Here's what I plan around.
Lost rankings
URLs change, redirects get missed, and Google has to re-discover pages from scratch — traffic can drop for months if it's not mapped properly.
Broken redirects
Old links from Google, other sites and bookmarks 404 instead of forwarding, losing both visitors and the SEO value those links carry.
Downtime at the worst moment
A migration done live, with no staging step, risks the old site going dark before the new one is actually ready.
Missing content & metadata
Titles, meta descriptions, schema markup and alt text get dropped in the rebuild because nobody carried them across.
A migration process built to protect your traffic
Four steps, agreed with you at every stage before anything touches the live site.
Audit
I crawl your current site and pull your Search Console data to map every indexed URL, its rankings, and its backlinks — so nothing gets lost by accident.
Redirect plan
Every old URL gets mapped to its new equivalent with a proper 301 redirect, agreed with you before anything goes live.
Build on staging
Your new site is built and tested on a private staging environment — the live site keeps running exactly as it is until launch day.
Go live & verify
DNS/hosting cut over, redirects tested, sitemap resubmitted to Search Console, and rankings tracked for weeks after to confirm nothing dropped.
Migrations fit inside my normal build pricing
There's no separate "migration fee" — the audit, redirect mapping and staged rollout are included in whichever build fits your new site.

Search Console before, during, after
I pull your real indexing and ranking data before touching anything, and track it for weeks post-launch to confirm nothing dropped.
Staging first, always
The old site keeps running untouched while the new one is built and tested — there's no "live site as the test environment."
Every redirect mapped, not guessed
A full old-URL-to-new-URL map, checked against your actual analytics for which pages get real traffic.
