Dangers of Improper Domain Migration

Migrating a domain incorrectly can lead to significant issues that can harm your business:

• • Severe Ranking Drops: An improperly handled migration can confuse search engines, leading to a significant drop in rankings and organic traffic.

• • Broken Links and 404 Errors: Without a proper redirection strategy, many old URLs will return 404 errors, hurting both user experience and SEO.

• • Lost Authority: Your website’s domain authority, which has been built up over time, can be lost if not migrated correctly, severely impacting your online visibility.

• • Extended Recovery Times: It can take months to recover from a poorly executed migration, which could lead to lost leads, reduced traffic, and business losses during this recovery period.

By using our service, you ensure these dangers are mitigated through careful planning, expert strategy, and a step-by-step process that leaves nothing to chance.

Step-by-Step Guide to Our Seamless Domain Migration Strategy

Planning and Strategy (1-2 months)

In this crucial phase, we analyze your current site, assess potential risks, and choose the best time for migration based on your business’s traffic patterns. Our goal is to ensure the migration happens during low-traffic periods, minimizing disruption. We also develop a comprehensive roadmap that outlines every step of the process.

Technical SEO and On-page Overhaul (1.5 months)

Following the planning stage, we perform a complete technical and on-page SEO overhaul of your existing site. This ensures the new domain is fully optimized from day one, safeguarding your SEO performance during the migration.

Dark Launch and Migration (2 weeks)

We set up the new site, migrate all content, and conduct a dark launch. Both the old and new sites run concurrently during this phase, with canonical tags on the old site pointing to the new one, signaling Google about the transition without fully switching over.

Full Launch and Redirects (2 weeks after dark launch)

Once the dark launch proves successful and all technical issues are resolved, we create 301 redirects from the old domain to the new one. This finalizes the migration, informing search engines that the new site is the permanent destination for your content.

Follow-up and Monitoring Post-Migration (2-3 months)

Our service doesn’t end at the moment of migration. After the launch, we monitor the new domain for any unforeseen issues. We provide post-migration support to ensure that your rankings remain stable, that there are no broken links or other technical issues, and that your site is functioning optimally. This follow-up period allows us to make any necessary adjustments and ensures a smooth transition for your users and search engines.
