What's Included in Our Migration Process?

We developed proper URL Mapping, set up redirects and save all of the vital SEO factors without messing with your rankings. Our site migration service also offers in-depth testing and performance monitoring to assure the correct functionality following launch. Partnering with a reliable web migration service means you would get continued post-migration assistance and ensure a stable, easy-to-detect and user-friendly experience.
Website Migration Types
Domain change is not the only aspect of website migration. This can involve changes to platform, website redesign, URL structures, website hosting relocations, or a mix of these. There are various checks for each type that must be put in place to safeguard vital aspects of the website during transitions.
Pre-Migration SEO Audit
Prior to any updates, we will audit the current website to highlight pages, URLs, metadata, links and other SEO aspects that should be retained. This will provide a comprehensible tangential system of measurement to compare the site's performance prior to and following migration.
URL Mapping and Redirects
We identify existing urls that exist in the old domain and their new destination and determine the pages on the old domain that need to be redirected. This enables visitors and search engines to find the right new URLs rather than encountering missing or outdated URLs.
Post-Migration Testing
After the website goes live, we verify important pages, links, redirects, navigation and forms are functioning properly. In addition, we check the accessibility to the search engine and other technical details that can hinder the search when migrating.
Migration Monitoring
The job is far from done once the new Web site launches. After launching important performance indicators are tracked and anomalies and changes in traffic, indexing, page accessibility etc are investigated.
Website Migration Process
First we document the current site and what has to be retained. Then, we make the migration, create the URLs, make the necessary changes, try it out in the new environment, deploy the site and then monitor it thoroughly after migration.
Website Migration Results
Migration would mean you still have a functioning site up and running, as well as search engines perceiving the changes. We consider the transition by accessability, redirection performance, indexing, technical health and stability of crucial pages of the website.
Website Migration Pricing
Migration costs vary depending on the size of your website, the number of URLs you need to migrate, the complexity of your platform, the type of migration you go through, development needs, and the level of SEO work required. The more extensive a web site is, and the more changes have been performed on their URLs, the more planning and testing will be needed.
