What Is an SEO Migration?

SEO Migration
An SEO migration is the process of changing your website's ranking, authority, and indexing signals to reflect a major change in the way your website's URLs are set up or the website itself. An SEO migration makes sure that when you move your website, you don't lose any of your search engine visibility (rankings and traffic).

Why Do You Need to Think About SEO During a Website Migration?

Arabic SEO Services
Your site has built up organic visibility and equity over time, which has helped you get rankings for keywords and searches that your prospects and customers use to find your site. When you change your URLs, your site's content, or your site as a whole, you change what search engines know about your site and how they've ranked it. The goal of any website migration is to keep traffic losses to a minimum. A thorough SEO migration makes sure that traffic drops don't happen.
If you are redesigning your website, you should think about migrating your SEO. Without SEO migration, a typical website loses between 30 and 50 percent of its organic traffic almost overnight. It's much easier to keep your rankings than to get them back, and it saves you a lot of time and money. Our SEO experts will help you plan, consult on, and carry out your migration strategy, ensuring that your website is set up for SEO success.

SEO Website Migration Steps

Analytics Benchmarking

First of all, I look at the data. I will do a benchmark to determine how well your website is doing right now. How well your content is being created, Which pages are the most important and need the most work during the migration, How your overall organic visibility looked before the migration, How well the migration went, and what the next steps will be

URL Redirect Mapping

I'll crawl your website and make a list of all the current URLs. Then, after the migration, I'll map them to their new URLs on the new website. Then I'll make a redirect map, which I'll send to your web development team so they can put it into action. Again, I can't stress enough how important this step is. It needs to be done, and it needs to be done with an expert's eye.

Internal Link Updating

But not just search engines need to know that your URLs have changed; your internal linking structure also needs to be changed. Any internal links on your site, like those in your menus, content, or sitemaps, also need to be changed. This is important because when search engines crawl your website, they want to ensure that your URL structure is consistent and not making internal redirects.

Tagging Updates

I'll crawl your site and make a list of your content. I'll also map keywords to your pages and make sure that your tags and content are optimized to keep and improve their rankings. Tags like titles, meta descriptions, Schema, headers, etc., may need to be updated when a website moves. I'll work with your content team to make sure these changes are made, and I'll track the overall organic performance of these pages after the migration to make sure everything goes well.

Search Console Configuration

When you move your website to a new domain, you need to let Google and the other big search engines know so they can keep your website's ranking the same. Google Search Console is one of the most important ways to do this. Google gives you ways to tell them that your website is moving and that the way your URLs are set up will be changing.

Project Plan & Roadmap

A website migration has a lot of moving parts, and I want to keep you informed every step of the way. After I get a general idea of how your website works, I'll make a complete project plan for the SEO migration strategy and a project roadmap for you and your team. This roadmap will show your team how the project will be set up on a timeline, what tasks will be done, and when.

Some SEO migrations take three months to plan and carry out, while others only take a month. It's important to give yourself enough time to plan, build a staging site, do quality assurance and audits, and then put the plan into action. To be safe, we suggest giving at least three months. But as always, it depends on the resources you and your team have, so make sure to talk about it a lot.
