People rarely plan a migration for fun. Something is forcing the move, and the traffic is what they are afraid for.
A migration done right ends with the same rankings on a better foundation. Every step of ours exists to protect what you already earned.
One honest note first. If all you need is your current site copied to a new host with nothing else changing, your new hosting company will usually do that for free. What we handle are the migrations where rankings and revenue are on the line.
Send us the site and where it needs to go. We will tell you what the move involves, what the risks are, and what we would do in what order.
Request a Migration PlanA national law firm on a rented legal marketing platform, with more than 1,000 pages earning search traffic. We moved the entire site to a custom WordPress build without changing a single ranking URL, and the firm kept the search traffic its cases come from.

A 300 course WooCommerce catalog rebuilt and restructured, with years of overlapping content consolidated instead of copied across, so the new store ranked better than the old one instead of matching it.

Every URL on the current site gets crawled and recorded, with its traffic, rankings, and links, so nothing exists that we do not know about.
Traffic, rankings, and conversions captured per page before anything changes. This is the yardstick the whole project gets measured against.
Every old URL mapped one to one to its new home. Kept where possible, redirected where not, and signed off before the build is approved for launch.
The new site goes up on staging, and we verify content, URLs, schema, tracking, and speed against the plan, page type by page type.
Redirects live, staging blocks removed, sitemaps submitted, Search Console updated, and the whole map spot checked within hours of going live.
Rankings and traffic tracked against the benchmarks for the weeks after launch. You get the before and after numbers, not a promise that it probably went fine.
Every site and platform combination has its own traps. Tell us what you are on and where you want to be, and we will map the route before you spend anything.

It depends on what moves. A migration bundled into a rebuild follows our custom site pricing, $8,000 to $25,000 for business sites and more for large ecommerce, covered on our web design pricing page. Standalone SEO migration planning for a site being built elsewhere is scoped by URL count and complexity. Plain hosting moves with no changes are usually free from your new host, and we will tell you when that is all you need.
Small sites move in 2 to 4 weeks. Full platform migrations with a rebuild run 6 to 12 weeks, and large ecommerce replatforming runs longer. The redirect mapping and verification are where the time goes, and they are the parts that protect your traffic.
Inventory every URL, benchmark its performance, keep URLs where possible, redirect one to one where not, carry over titles, content, and schema, verify everything on staging, and watch the data after launch. No single trick, just none of the steps skipped. Skipped steps are where migrations fail.
Some movement in the first days is normal while Google recrawls the site. What a proper migration prevents is the lasting drop, and the benchmark and monitoring exist so you can see the recovery in numbers instead of taking our word for it.
Yes, that is one of the most common moves we make. Content and URLs come over, redirects cover the URLs those platforms force, and you end up owning the site, the code, and the hosting. Our WordPress web design page covers what the new build looks like.
Yes. Hosting, DNS, email records, and SSL get handled as part of every migration, and we set up the new environment with staging and backups. You own every account when it is done.
Tell us what you are on, where you want to go, and which pages pay the bills. We will plan the move around protecting them.
