Our Approach to Website Migration
Our technical team will provide clear project requirements, a detailed pre-migration specification and offer post-release migration support.
Pre-migration services
Benchmarking: We set up benchmarking in order to see how the current site it performing to then use this data to measure improvements post-migration. This includes: rankings monitoring, current top site pages & queries identification, site speed, review javascript crawling, mobile setup, structured data, pagination and sitemaps.
Platform audit: We will complete an in-detail technical audit using specialist tools. We will then provide a clear and prioritised SEO roadmap detailing all recommended fixes, potential quick win SEO fixes and clear specifications on how to implement recommended fixes.
One to one mappings: It is essential that URLs are mapped to the correct locations, so our team will carry out one to one mappings to ensure this.
Launch day services
Sitemap crawls: Our technical team will force sitemap crawls on all legacy URLs; this will ensure fast redirect processing from Google.
Test live redirects: We will test all live redirects to ensure they are returning the expected response codes, and communicate any redirect issues to the developers.
Monitor potential user experience issues: We will monitor all potential user experience issues and send alerts to the relevant teams.
Post-launch services
Continuous monitoring: Our team will continuously monitor Search Console for error messages from Google.
Test redirects: We will keep testing redirects and communicating any issues we may find.
Rankings analysis: We will perform ranking analysis to identify any priority pages that may need attention.
