We keep your rankings, traffic and revenue intact through a migration planned before launch rather than patched after it.

Real brands we have grown with SEO and AI Search, across ecommerce, lead generation and local.
Nervousness about migrations is understandable and usually misplaced. Almost every horror story traces back to a project where URL mapping was treated as a post-launch task.
We move the site while preserving the equity in it. That means URL-level mapping, which matters more when your total ranking footprint is smaller and every lost page is a larger share of it.
Our team has completed hundreds of migrations. A recurring New Zealand case is consolidating a .co.nz and a .com into one domain, or splitting a combined site once Australian trade justifies its own presence.
Each migration is scoped against your KPIs and benchmarked beforehand. With smaller volumes, week-to-week noise is larger, so a clean baseline is the only way to read the result.

Still have questions, or unsure whether the migration is worth the risk?
With a URL-level redirect map built before launch, a full crawl of both old and new sites, and a ranking benchmark taken first. With smaller volumes the weekly noise is larger, so the baseline matters more here.
Yes, and most providers skip it. The first eight weeks is when recoverable problems surface, and in a small market losing a handful of ranking pages is a larger proportion of your total footprint.
It scales with URL count and complexity. Consolidating a .co.nz and a .com is a different exercise from a straight platform move, and consolidations carry considerably more risk.
Typically 4 to 8 weeks: discovery and crawl, redirect mapping, staging validation, launch, then intensive monitoring. Mapping is the long part and rushing it is what causes losses.
Yes. The common New Zealand case is a business splitting its Australian trade onto a separate domain, or merging one back in, both of which need hreflang handled deliberately.
Reporting is built so you can see progress and impact plainly. Here is what you receive:
Reports cover keyword positions, organic traffic, conversion rate and engagement, tied to revenue where the data allows. With smaller volumes we are explicit about which movements are real and which are noise.
Reporting is built around the decisions you need to make. In a smaller market that usually means fewer metrics reported more honestly, including when a number has moved the wrong way.

Podcasts let a New Zealand business reach an audience far larger than the domestic market, and the citations they generate carry weight well beyond listener numbers.
