Real brands we have grown with SEO and AI Search, across ecommerce, lead generation and local.
Nervousness about migrations is understandable and usually misplaced. The losses people have heard about come from projects where nobody mapped the URLs until the site was already live.
We move the site while preserving the equity in it, which means mapping every URL individually rather than redirecting whole templates to a category page and hoping.
Our team has completed hundreds of migrations. In the UK the most common are brand consolidations and the domain restructures that followed EU market changes, both of which involve merging sites rather than simply moving one.
Each migration is scoped against your KPIs and benchmarked beforehand, so if something moves after launch you can prove what caused it instead of debating it.

Still have questions, or unsure whether a 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 benchmark of current rankings so any post-launch movement can be attributed rather than debated.
Yes, and most agencies skip it. The first eight weeks after launch is when recoverable problems appear, and monitoring turns them into a fix rather than a permanent loss.
It scales with URL count and complexity. A brand consolidation merging two UK sites is a different exercise from moving one site to a new platform, and consolidations carry 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. International migrations add hreflang and country targeting, and for UK businesses the frequent case is separating or merging UK and EU properties, where getting the targeting wrong costs an entire market.
Reporting is built so progress and impact are legible at a glance. Here is what you get:
Reports cover keyword positions, organic traffic, conversion rate and engagement, connected to revenue wherever the data supports it. The aim is to show whether the work is paying, not to fill pages.
Reporting is built around how your business makes decisions. Some clients want a single revenue number; others want the detail to defend a budget internally. We shape the format to that rather than to what is convenient to produce.
