SEO Migrations

Move the site without
losing the channel.

I plan and monitor migrations so redesigns, replatforms, URL changes, and domain moves do not quietly erase organic growth. The work is detailed, calm, and built around risk control.

Why it matters

The work behind
the recommendation.

A migration is usually treated like a launch checklist item until rankings start slipping. By then the team is trying to debug redirects, templates, canonicals, content changes, and tracking gaps at the same time.

I get involved before launch, document what has to be protected, map the redirects, review the staging site, and stay close after release so small problems do not become traffic losses.

Outcomes

What gets
clearer.

A controlled release with fewer surprises after go-live

  • 01

    Risk map

    A clear list of the pages, templates, rankings, backlinks, and technical signals that need protection before launch.

  • 02

    Redirect control

    A redirect map that preserves important URLs, avoids chains, and gives engineering a direct implementation path.

  • 03

    Launch monitoring

    Post-launch checks for crawl errors, indexation shifts, rankings, traffic, sitemap coverage, and analytics continuity.

Process

A calm way
to move.

  1. 01

    Document the current site

    I capture crawl data, top pages, backlinks, rankings, sitemap coverage, analytics, and URL patterns before anything moves.

  2. 02

    Review the staging build

    I check templates, metadata, canonicals, robots rules, internal links, structured data, redirects, and tracking before launch.

  3. 03

    Watch the release

    After launch, I monitor the signals that matter and help the team fix issues while they are still small.

Deliverables

Practical assets,
not shelfware.

The final handoff is built for implementation. It should be clear enough for leadership to understand and specific enough for the people doing the work.
