Migrate without losing what you have built.

Site migrations are the highest-risk event in SEO. A single redirect error can erase years of organic equity. We have executed 40+ enterprise migrations with zero measurable traffic loss.

Site migration redirect protection workflow

Migrations fail silently - and the damage is permanent

A broken redirect returns a 200 status code but points to the wrong page. A missing hreflang annotation causes canonicalization conflicts across language variants. A CMS migration loses meta data for 30% of pages. These are common, quiet failures that are not caught by basic QA - but they can permanently destroy organic visibility that took years to build.

Redirect maps cover only a fraction of high-value URLs
Staging QA misses chains, canonical conflicts, and meta drift
Traffic drops appear days or weeks after cutover - too late to recover easily

How we solve this

Migration protection is not a checklist - it is a continuous monitoring process that begins weeks before the migration and continues for months after. We map every URL that carries organic equity, build and validate every redirect, test every canonical signal, and watch crawl behavior in real time during and after cutover.

Traffic loss during 200,000-page migration

A complete CMS migration and domain consolidation for a 200,000-page site. Our redirect map covered every URL with meaningful traffic. Staging validation caught 14 critical redirect chains before launch. Organic traffic was indistinguishable from pre-migration levels within 72 hours of cutover.
