Migrate Site
If you're switching domains, moving CMS platforms, or restructuring URLs, this walks you through the migration without tanking your organic traffic. It covers the tedious stuff that actually matters: redirect mapping with 301 rules, pre-flight inventory of high-value pages and backlinks, rollback criteria if things go sideways, and a monitoring schedule for the first 90 days. The phase-by-phase breakdown is solid, from audit through post-launch checks. Honestly, the redirect map template alone is worth having around. Expects 10-30% traffic dips in the first month and full recovery in 2-3 months, which matches reality better than most migration guides that pretend it's painless.

Migrate Site
Guide a domain migration, CMS switch, or URL restructure without losing rankings — redirect mapping, monitoring plan, and rollback criteria.
Migration Types
| Type | Risk Level | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Domain change | High | olddomain.com → newdomain.com |
| Protocol change | Low | HTTP → HTTPS |
| CMS switch | Medium-High | WordPress → Next.js, Shopify → custom |
| URL restructure | Medium | /blog/2024/post → /blog/post |
| Subdomain migration | Medium | blog.example.com → example.com/blog |
| Design/template change | Low-Medium | Same URLs, new templates |
All migrations carry SEO risk. The goal is to minimize the traffic dip and speed up recovery.
Phase 1: Pre-Migration Audit
Inventory Everything
Before touching anything, document the current state:
Pages:
- Full list of all indexed URLs (from sitemap + Search Console)
- Each page's monthly traffic (Search Console, last 6 months)
- Each page's top keywords and positions
- Each page's backlink count (pages with external links need special attention)
