LET'S DISCUSS
We had a different kind of problem. People were visiting the store, adding products to their carts, and then disappearing before they finished the order. We had tried a few apps and made changes here and there, but nothing really seemed to solve the bigger issue. The team went through the shopping experience with us and pointed out things we hadn't really noticed ourselves. They cleaned up the cart and checkout flow, made the mobile experience much smoother, and helped us make the store feel easier to shop. I’m not going to pretend we fixed everything overnight, but it finally feels like the store is helping the sale instead of getting in the way of it.

The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
James Whitmore
Head of Marketing of Lumen Outdoor
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.

Why Store Owners Trust Us With Their Migration SEO
A migration can quietly erase years of organic growth, so we plan for search from the first day. These are the habits we bring to every SEO migration.
A redirect for every URL
Nothing is left to chance or a catch-all.
Metadata carried over
Titles, descriptions and canonicals move with your pages.
Schema preserved
Structured data survives the move.
Baseline recorded
We know your rankings before, so we can prove they held.
Watched after go-live
We monitor crawl errors and rankings while things settle.
Add-on or bundle
Buy it standalone or bundled into a migration.
08Overview
Why do migrations lose organic traffic, and how do SEO migration services prevent it?
Missing or incorrect redirects are the single most common cause of post-migration ranking loss, followed by metadata failures, misconfigured canonical tags, and robots.txt errors. We audit your site before migration, map a verified 301 redirect for every URL including legacy query parameters, preserve metadata and structured data, and monitor rankings and crawl errors after launch. Pricing starts from $1,500 as a standalone add-on.

Who it's for
Businesses migrating a large catalog with years of ranking history
You can't afford to lose the organic traffic your current site has earned.
Teams already running a migration who want a dedicated SEO specialist
Your migration is happening, but redirect mapping and metadata aren't being handled by an SEO specialist.
Businesses that have already migrated and lost rankings
You migrated without a proper SEO plan and traffic has dropped.
Store owners with complex URL structures or legacy query parameters
Your current site has category filters, pagination, or parameters that need careful redirect mapping.
Businesses that want rankings monitored closely after go-live
You want someone watching crawl errors and keyword rankings, not just hoping for the best.
Not a fit for
You need the full migration executed, not just the SEO layer. Our Shopify Migration Services or platform-specific migration pages cover full-service migrations that already include redirect mapping.
You haven't decided whether or where to migrate yet. Our Ecommerce Replatforming Services covers that strategic decision.
You want ongoing SEO work unrelated to a migration. That falls outside this specific service.

What is on an SEO migration checklist?
A pre-migration audit and baseline crawl, a full URL inventory with traffic and backlink data, redirect mapping and staging validation, launch-day checks on redirects and indexability, and ongoing post-launch monitoring of rankings and crawl errors.
Why do replatforms lose organic traffic?
Missing or incorrect redirects are the single most common cause, followed by metadata not transferring, canonical tags pointing to the wrong domain, robots.txt blocking crawlers, and structural changes to headings and content.
How do you map 301 redirects for a large catalog?
We catalog every existing URL, including legacy query parameters like category filters, map each to its final destination without redirect chains, and verify every redirect after launch rather than sampling a handful.
How much do SEO migration services cost?
Starts from $1,500 as a standalone add-on to a migration you're running elsewhere, or bundled into a full migration engagement with us.
How long does it take for rankings to recover?
Well-executed migrations on a medium-sized site typically take 3 to 6 months to fully recover. Google usually takes 3 to 4 weeks just to reprocess crawled changes at scale, so early fluctuation is normal.
How do you handle URL structure changes on Shopify?
We prioritize redirect accuracy for pages with the most traffic, backlinks, or conversions, point every legacy URL directly to its final destination, and update internal links to reference the new URLs directly.
How do you monitor rankings and errors after go-live?
We track organic traffic, keyword rankings, and conversions against pre-migration benchmarks, and monitor indexation, crawl errors, and Core Web Vitals in the weeks following launch.
How are metadata, canonicals and structured data preserved?
We audit and validate metadata, canonical tags, and structured data in staging before launch, then confirm they resolve correctly on the live domain, since canonical tags pointing to staging is a common and costly mistake.
