Share your current website, what is changing and your expected launch date. We’ll examine selected pages and visible technical issues, then identify the migration questions that need attention first. A complete migration plan, full redirect mapping, staging assessment and launch support are quoted separately.
A new website changes more than its appearance. Important content, page addresses, navigation and tracking need deliberate decisions, particularly when several teams are involved.
Identify the content people already find, reference and enquire through, then decide what happens to each important page.
Document URL destinations, page settings and checks while the new website is being built.
Review key templates before launch and test the live website against the agreed plan.
Your migration plan reflects what is changing, the size of the website and the people implementing it. We agree the responsibilities, access, launch arrangements and monitoring period before work begins.
Understand the existing website and decide what the new one needs to retain.
A migration brief records the domain, platform, content, structure and URL changes involved. It establishes the launch dependencies and the decisions that need resolving before development progresses.
Your URL inventory brings together available crawl data, sitemaps, search reports and analytics. Important pages and downloadable resources are marked so their destinations are accounted for in the new website.
We record available search traffic, landing-page performance and tracked enquiries or sales before the move. The dated baseline also notes tracking gaps and other factors affecting later comparisons.
Each important page receives an agreed action: retain, improve, combine or retire. The record identifies what needs carrying across, who approves changes and whether a new destination is required.
Changed URLs are mapped to suitable new destinations for developer implementation. Pages being retired without a relevant replacement receive a separate handling decision rather than an automatic redirect to the homepage.
Your developer receives the agreed SEO requirements, including page settings, URL handling and verification steps. A launch checklist identifies responsibilities and the checks needed around release.
Check the new build and test what reaches the live website.
With approved access to the test website, we compare priority pages and templates against the migration requirements. Findings are recorded with their impact, owner and recommended action.
We check that links and page references use the intended live destinations. The assessment also identifies canonical or structured-data details still pointing to old addresses or the staging environment.
Old-to-new mappings are tested for destination accuracy, permanent redirect behaviour and unnecessary chains. Important landing pages are checked for errors, empty responses and content that fails to load.
Key templates are assessed on mobile for navigation, readable content and usable enquiry or purchase routes. Performance checks identify significant issues introduced by the new build, with findings assigned to the implementation team.
The launch checklist separates protections for the test website from restrictions intended for live pages. We check for staging settings carried into production and confirm the agreed access and indexing directives.
We check the new sitemap and relevant Search Console properties. For an eligible domain move, Change of Address is handled after the move and redirects are in place, with the actions recorded.
Check the live move and work through the issues that appear.
Priority old and new URLs are tested after release. The checks confirm destinations, page content and live settings, while search-engine processing is monitored separately.
Search Console and repeat website checks help identify inaccessible pages, unexpected exclusions and other problems. Findings are assessed against the agreed migration decisions rather than treating every change in page counts as an error.
Search and enquiry performance is compared across suitable periods. The analysis accounts for changed URLs, seasonality, tracking differences and substantial content changes made during the move.
We investigate missing content, incorrect destinations, technical restrictions and unexpected performance changes. Each finding includes the evidence available and the action needed from us or your developer.
A shared record tracks each issue, its owner, priority, status and verification. An implemented fix and a later search-engine response are recorded separately when further monitoring is needed.
A closer look at the challenges, decisions and outcomes behind our SEO work.
SEO / Chiropractic
400%+ growth in ranking keyword coverage
The clinic needed stronger visibility for its services. Service-page improvements, refreshed content and internal linking supported broader ranking keyword coverage.
SEO / Employment screening
150%+ increase in daily search impressions
Daily impressions: 25 July vs 20 October 2026
The website needed to explain its verification services more directly. Work focused on service-page targeting, technical SEO and content recommendations.
SEO / Aesthetics
200%+ growth in ranking keyword coverage
The clinic needed more complete treatment information and stronger search visibility. Treatment-page development, refreshed content and internal linking supported broader ranking keyword coverage.
A new domain, a platform replacement and a visual redesign affect different parts of the website. The migration requirements should reflect those differences. A redesign does not require new URLs. Existing addresses should remain unless there is a practical reason to change them. When several major changes are planned together, we assess whether they should be phased.
| Type of change | What changes | Main areas to check |
|---|---|---|
| Domain change | The website moves to a different domain. | URL destinations, redirects, domain access, relevant Search Console actions and important external references. |
| Platform change | The system running the website changes. | Template output, URL behaviour, content transfer, metadata, structured data and tracking. |
| URL or navigation restructuring | Page addresses, menus or category relationships change. | Destination mapping, internal links, important-page access and redirect implementation. |
| Redesign with substantial content changes | Layout, templates or content change, even when URLs stay the same. | Retained information, headings, metadata, rendering, mobile use and enquiry routes. |
The important migration work differs between a product catalogue, a software website and a professional-services business. The plan needs to include the information and functions customers use.
We work alongside your developer or agency so SEO requirements fit into the build and launch schedule.
Understand the current website, planned changes, available data and expected launch arrangements.
Build the URL inventory, content decisions, redirect mapping and technical checklist, with responsibilities assigned.
Assess the staging website, prioritise outstanding findings and run the agreed checks after release.
Review the live website, available search data and tracked outcomes. Work through the issue register during the agreed monitoring period.
Reporting combines implementation checks with search and business performance. The baseline gives those comparisons a starting point.
Whether important content is present, intended destinations work and the live page settings match the plan.
Incorrect destinations, redirect chains, access restrictions and unexpected indexing changes, with their investigation status.
Impressions, clicks and relevant landing-page trends compared across suitable periods, accounting for old and new URLs.
Available enquiry or ecommerce data, with any changes to tracking identified before drawing conclusions.
Unresolved issues, assigned owners and the next checks needed, including items awaiting search-engine processing.

Practical answers about planning, developers, access and the checks needed around launch.
Before the new structure, URLs and content decisions are finalised. That gives your developer requirements to work from. If development is already underway, we assess the current position and prioritise the checks that fit the remaining schedule.
The checks should match the changes involved. A visual update with stable URLs needs less mapping than a domain or platform move, but changes to content, templates and navigation still need assessment. We establish the scope before recommending the work.
Not automatically. We first assess whether existing addresses should remain and whether the new platform supports them. Necessary changes are mapped and tested. A new platform alone is not a reason to rename every page.
Yes. We provide the agreed SEO requirements, mapping and checks, then coordinate findings with the people building the website. Implementation responsibilities and launch arrangements are set out at the start.
The assessment normally uses Search Console, analytics, available URL records and staging access. Implementation may also require approved access to the CMS or hosting. We identify the access needed for the agreed work and who is responsible for making each change.
The schedule follows the website’s size, planned changes and development timetable. Your proposal sets out the planning stages, launch involvement and post-launch monitoring period. Larger or more complex moves need more time for mapping and verification.
That cannot be guaranteed. Search engines need to process changed pages and URLs, and performance may fluctuate. We plan and check the implementation, then investigate unexpected changes against the baseline and the work completed.
Yes. We compare the available old-site records with the live website and investigate redirects, missing content, access restrictions and tracking. Keep old URL lists, sitemaps, exports and reports, as they help establish what changed. The findings determine the repair priorities.
