Website Migration in a Search Engine Friendly way
Moving, transferring, upgrading or changing. These words can ring alarm bells with the search engines, and must be handled correctly. Incorrect migration can cost your business! Search engines thrive on trust, history and reliability. Once a website has gained trust with a search engine, moving it without correct migration procedures can damage your relationship hence results with a search engine. Not only could you lose traffic, positions, rankings and money, but the search engines could take weeks or months to regain the trust and reliability that was previously established with your site.
Thinking of changing your site?? - contact us and we can provide a website migration report weeks in advance and oversee the procedure goes smoothly with your developers.
Before moving ALWAYS make a full backup of your site - source files, database, hosting settings.
