Website Migration

Most website migrations lose rankings because nobody mapped the old URLs to the new ones. We treat migration as an SEO project first and a build second. Every live URL, meta tag, and internal link is accounted for before a single page launches, on every project we ship across North America.

Website migration services that protect URLs, rankings, and launch stability

website migration servicesSEO website migrationWordPress migrationWix migrationwebsite redesign migration

A website migration is risky when the SEO details are treated as admin work. Lost URLs, missing redirects, changed metadata, and broken internal links can erase years of organic visibility.

Nexsite handles migration as a search-protection project first: inventory every page, preserve what matters, redirect what changes, validate the staging build, and monitor the launch until the new site stabilizes.

Every important URL is accounted for

Live pages, posts, assets, metadata, schema, and internal links are inventoried before the new site replaces the old one.

Redirects are planned before cutover

Old URLs are mapped to their best new destination so users and search engines are not dropped into 404s.

Staging catches problems early

The new site is reviewed for content parity, crawlability, metadata, forms, analytics, and performance before launch.

Ranking Support

Strong service pages answer the question and prove the business.

01

SEO-preserving migration checklist

URL maps, redirects, canonical tags, metadata, XML sitemaps, robots rules, and analytics are checked in one workflow.

02

Platform changes without content loss

WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, and legacy builds can move to a faster stack while keeping the content that already works.

03

Post-launch stabilization

Indexation, 404s, redirects, ranking drift, and Search Console signals are watched after launch so fixes happen quickly.

Migration

->step _ 01

URL & Content Inventory

We crawl the live site, export every URL, meta tag, and internal link, and classify what moves, what merges, and what gets retired.

->step _ 02

Redirect Map & Staging Build

We write a 1:1 redirect map, build the new site on a modern stack, and load it into staging so you can review before anything public changes.

->step _ 03

Cutover

DNS flips on a planned window, redirects deploy at the same time, sitemaps submit to Google, and we monitor crawl and ranking in real time.

->step _ 04

Post-Launch Stabilization

For four to six weeks after launch we watch indexation, fix any 404s that appear, and report on ranking drift until the new site is stable.
