    Website Migration SEO FAQs

    Not all developers offer or understand SEO-focused website migrations. Bring our expertise onboard and make sure your new site builds on your previous online success.

    What is a website migration?

    A website migration involves transferring your site to a new structure or domain while maintaining traffic and rankings. This includes redirecting URLs, preserving tracking and more.

    What happens if I don’t migrate my website?

    If you don’t migrate your website properly, you run the risk of losing valuable traffic and hard-earned search engine rankings.

    How long does it take?

    This depends on when we start. If during the new site build, it’s part of that process. If brought in later, we prioritise the migration.

    Will WRD work with my developer?

    Absolutely! We will collaborate seamlessly as part of the broader team. Our technical expertise allows us to communicate effectively with your developers.
