We Plan Every Migration to Protect Your Rankings
Before beginning a website migration, we catalogue every single URL, page, and piece of content on your website. We gain an understanding of what is ranking well, what needs improvements, and create an action plan for the migration.
We preserve your high performing content, improve your underperforming content, and make sure that we set up the proper redirects to preserve traffic to any pages that we have to change during the migration process.
Zero Downtime for Your Existing Website
We build and test your new site on a private staging environment first. This means your existing website keeps running while we work, and keeps making you money, right up until the moment we go live.
Before anything goes public, we test every redirect, every form, every checkout and booking flow, on both desktop and mobile. After launch, we run a full sweep for broken links and 404 errors and confirm your analytics, tracking, and email are all working exactly as they should.
When it's time to launch, we schedule the switch for your lowest-traffic hours and handle the DNS cutover so visitors never hit a dead page.

Planned Migrations Can Actually Increase Website Traffic
There is no reason that a website migration should negatively affect your existing rankings. In fact, we often see an increase in impressions and clicks directly following our website migrations.
When we preserve the information hierarchy and content that was already working, set up proper redirects for the pages that weren't, and rebuild it all on a faster-loading platform, the result is a site that's better positioned to rank than the one you started with.
Signs It's Time to Migrate Your Website
Not sure whether a migration is the right move? If any of these sound familiar, your website is probably holding your business back more than it's helping:
- Your site is slow. If pages take more than a few seconds to load, you can lose visitors but also be punished by search engines.
- It looks dated and doesn't reflect the quality of your work.
- You've outgrown your platform. You need eCommerce, booking, or features your current setup can't handle.
- Your rankings have stalled or dropped.
A well-planned migration can fix these issues, without losing the traffic and rankings you already have. Pair it with our Vermont SEO services and the move can lift your rankings instead of risking them. The first step is a free audit, and there's no obligation to move forward.

Not with a properly planned migration. We catalogue every URL, preserve your high-performing content, and set up proper redirects so your rankings and traffic carry over. In many cases, clients actually see an increase in impressions and clicks after the move.
No. We build and test your new site on a private staging environment while your current site stays live, then schedule the switch for your lowest-traffic hours, so your visitors never hit a dead page.
It depends on the size and complexity of your site, but most migrations take a few weeks from audit to launch. Your free migration audit will give you a clear, specific timeline before anything begins.
Everything comes with you. We transfer all your pages, posts, images, and files, nothing gets left behind, and keep a full backup of your original site just in case.
We're proud to be Vermont-based and love working with local businesses, but we handle website migrations for clients anywhere.
