LA companies redesign often. A new brand, a new agency, a move from WordPress to Webflow or headless, or two sites merged after an acquisition. The site looks better, and within weeks a large share of organic traffic is gone. Recovering it can take months.

Almost all of that is preventable. The work has to happen before launch.

What I do on a migration

Before launch

  • Full inventory of every URL with traffic, rankings or backlinks.
  • A redirect map from every old URL to its best new equivalent.
  • Content parity checks so ranking pages keep what made them rank.
  • Staging review of templates, internal links, canonicals, hreflang, structured data, robots and rendering.
  • A step-by-step launch checklist for your developers.

Launch day

  • Redirect testing at scale.
  • Sitemap submission and indexing checks.
  • A watch on crawl errors as traffic moves across.

After launch

  • Daily monitoring for the first weeks, then weekly.
  • Anything that slips gets fixed fast.

Migrations I cover

Same-domain redesigns, CMS changes (WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, headless), domain changes and rebrands, mergers and consolidations, moving blogs or docs into subfolders, and URL structure changes.

My team ran a migration protection sprint for 5WPR, covering pre-launch mapping and post-launch monitoring.

Working with your LA web agency

Most migrations I join already have a design or dev agency building the site. I act as the SEO reviewer alongside them, so the build team can move fast without breaking what ranks. I meet LA teams in person when I'm in town.

Frequently asked questions

As early as possible, ideally while the new site architecture is being designed.

A small temporary dip is common. A large, lasting drop usually means something was missed.

Planning a relaunch? Book a call before you launch

The cheapest hour of a migration is the one spent before the architecture is signed off. Tell me the timeline and I'll tell you where the risk sits.
