We protect your rankings, traffic and revenue through a migration that is planned rather than hoped for.
See where you rank and get your custom roadmap. No obligation.
Real brands we have grown with SEO and AI Search, across ecommerce, lead generation and local.
You do not have to be nervous about it. We migrate sites for a living, and the organic damage people fear comes almost entirely from migrations nobody mapped properly.
Our migration work moves the site without surrendering the equity you have built, which means redirect mapping at URL level rather than at template level.
Our team has completed hundreds of migrations, most commonly American replatforms: Magento to Shopify Plus, custom builds to headless, WordPress consolidations after an acquisition.
Every migration is scoped against your KPIs, with a pre-migration benchmark so that any post-launch movement can actually be attributed rather than argued about.

Still have questions, or wondering whether a migration is worth the risk?
With a URL-level redirect map built before launch, a full crawl of both the old and new sites, and a benchmark of current rankings so any movement afterwards can be attributed rather than argued about.
Yes, and it is the part most agencies skip. The first eight weeks after a migration is when recoverable problems surface, and monitoring is what turns them into a fix rather than a permanent loss.
It scales with URL count and complexity. A 200-page site moving platforms is a different exercise from a 40,000-URL ecommerce replatform with a catalogue restructure. We quote against a URL inventory.
Typically 4 to 8 weeks: discovery and crawl, redirect mapping, staging validation, launch, then intensive monitoring. The mapping is the long part and rushing it is what causes losses.
Yes. International migrations add hreflang, country targeting and the risk of consolidating markets that should stay separate, which is where most multi-region migrations go wrong.
Reporting is designed so you can see progress and impact without interpretation. Here is what you receive:
Reports cover keyword positions, organic traffic, conversion rate and engagement, tied back to revenue where the data allows it. The point is to show whether the strategy is working, not to fill pages.
Reporting is shaped around the decisions you actually make. Some clients want one revenue figure each month; others want segment detail they can take into a board meeting. We build the format around that rather than around what exports easily.
