SEO Migration Recovery Services

Why SEO Migrations Go Wrong

Migrations have multiple points of failure, making them notorious for undoing your hard-worked SEO efforts. Whether you are migrating to a new domain, or a new CMS, the SEO work is the same: ensure Google sees the changeover seamlessly. Migrations start to go wrong when the preparation stage hasn't been detailed enough.

 

Migrations involve taking a live site through to a staging site and then the staging site to the new live site. This means regular and thorough checking at each point, and ideally not progressing to the next phase until the current phase is signed off as okay from the SEO team. Unfortunately for SEOs and therefore SEO performance, deadlines often dictate how thorough a check can be, and sites progress to go-live without all the required checks.

 

At that point, its a matter of time before Google, and other search engine crawl the new site, and notice any errors, thereby impacting your SEO performance.

 

Many businesses will only know that a migration has affected their organic traffic performance once they see the negative impacts of rankings dropping or traffic suddenly dropping.  For any SEO specialist that comes in and troubleshoot and rectify post-migration issue, overseeing the recovery is very labour-intensive, but recovery can be managed if actioned in time.

Case Studies

Freelance 3D Designer

Between 2020 and 2024 we provided SEO consultancy services to a freelance 3D design firm. Core products were 3D product design and 3D animation and VFX services for advertising and film productions. We ensured the client was on page one for their core keywords and local keywords.

Virtual Office Provider

From 2025 and into 2026 we consult on SEO and manage the PPC campaign for NATIVE Coworking, an independent coworking space in Cyprus that is pushing virtual offices as an additional product. North West SEO additionally provides consulting services on wider SEO requirements, although the main scope is a ‘page-by-page’ requirement, where the client provided us with pages they wished to improve rankings for, and we provided an action plan to achieve that, and within a few weeks the client achieved top 5 rank for the target keyword.
