Website migration and relaunch, without losing Google rankings

Changing your platform, your design or the company that builds your website? We move the old site to a new one without losing your Google rankings, your company email or enquiries from clients.

How we move a website

  • Inventory of old addressesWe collect every page of the old site from its sitemap, from Google results and from web archives.
  • 301 redirect mapEvery old address leads straight to the matching new page, not to the home page.
  • Email stays untouchedDuring the move we change only the website records, never the email ones.
  • SSL before the switchThe certificate is ready before the DNS change, so visitors never see errors.
  • Search Console and sitemapThe new site is verified in Google Search Console and its sitemap is submitted from day one.
  • Checks after launchWe follow indexing, 404 errors and redirects until everything settles.

FAQ

What clients ask us

Will I lose my email when I change websites?

No. Email and website are separate settings of your domain. During the move we change only what belongs to the website and leave the email settings untouched.

Will I lose my Google rankings?

The risk comes from old addresses that lead to errors. That's why every old address gets a 301 redirect to the matching new page, and after launch we follow indexing in Search Console.

How long until Google sees the new site?

The first pages usually appear within a few days of submitting the sitemap; the full transition can take a few weeks, during which we watch the Search Console reports.
