SEO Migration Services in Seattle That Protect Your Rankings During Every Transition

Your New Website Launches. Your Organic Traffic Disappears.

The Problem

You redesigned your website or changed platforms without an SEO migration plan. URLs changed, redirect maps were incomplete or missing, and Google is now serving 404 errors for pages that used to rank. Organic traffic drops by 30% to 60% in the weeks after launch, and recovery takes months.
Your developer handled the migration, but SEO was not part of the plan. Old URLs were not mapped to new ones. Canonical tags are misconfigured. The XML sitemap points to URLs that no longer exist. The robots.txt file blocks pages that should be indexed. Google Search Console shows a spike in crawl errors.
You are planning a domain change, CMS migration, or site restructure and you know the risks. You have seen other businesses lose organic traffic after a migration and you want to avoid the same outcome. You need an SEO specialist to manage the migration from start to finish.

The Solution

We create a comprehensive redirect mapping plan before your migration goes live. Every old URL is mapped to its corresponding new URL with 301 redirects. Pages that are being consolidated, removed, or restructured are handled with redirect logic that preserves link equity and search visibility.
We audit the new site before launch: canonical tags, XML sitemap, robots.txt, internal linking, page titles, meta data, schema markup, and Core Web Vitals. Issues are identified and fixed before Google crawls the new site, not after traffic has already dropped.
We monitor rankings, traffic, and crawl behavior in Google Search Console after launch. Post-migration monitoring catches redirect errors, indexation problems, and ranking fluctuations in real time so we can respond before they compound.

Website Migration SEO in Seattle, Built to Preserve What You Have Earned

Pre-Migration SEO Audit

We audit your existing site before any changes are made. We document every URL, its current rankings, organic traffic, backlinks, and internal links. This baseline is the foundation of the migration plan. You cannot preserve what you have not measured. We also audit the new site in staging to identify SEO issues before launch, not after.

Redirect Mapping and Link Equity Preservation

The redirect map is the most critical deliverable in any SEO migration. We map every old URL to its correct new destination using 301 redirects. Pages that have been consolidated get redirected to the most relevant new page. Pages that have been removed are redirected to the closest topical match. Chain redirects, redirect loops, and orphaned URLs are identified and resolved. Link equity built over months or years is preserved.

Post-Launch Monitoring and Recovery

The days and weeks after launch are when migration problems surface. We monitor Google Search Console for crawl errors, indexation changes, and ranking fluctuations. We track redirect performance, identify broken redirects, and fix issues as they appear. Our 90-Day Action Roadmap includes post-migration checkpoints that track organic traffic recovery and flag any ranking losses that need attention.

SEO-Safe Website Migrations for Seattle Businesses

A website migration is one of the highest-risk events in SEO. Platform changes, domain moves, URL restructuring, and major redesigns can wipe out months or years of organic growth if SEO is not managed through every stage of the process. Businesses that migrate without an SEO plan routinely see 30% to 60% drops in organic traffic. Many take 6 to 12 months to recover. Some do not recover at all because the damage compounds every day the issues go unresolved. We provide SEO migration services for businesses across Seattle and the Pacific Northwest. Our process covers pre-migration SEO audit and baseline documentation, redirect mapping (URL-by-URL 301 redirect plan), canonical tag configuration, XML sitemap creation and submission, robots.txt review, internal linking audit and rebuild, on-page SEO validation on the new site, schema markup transfer and validation, Google Search Console configuration, post-launch crawl monitoring, ranking and traffic tracking, and recovery response for any issues that surface after launch. Over 20 years, we have ranked 1,000+ websites in the Seattle market and managed SEO migrations across CMS changes, domain moves, HTTPS transitions, and full site redesigns. Our team holds Google Partner and Google Ads certifications, carries a BBB A+ rating, and has earned 500+ five-star Google reviews. We treat every migration as a risk management project where the goal is zero organic traffic loss. Planning a migration?

Real Seattle Businesses. Migrations That Protected Rankings.

LEGAL SERVICES | SEATTLE

A Seattle law firm redesigned its website and moved to a new CMS. We managed the SEO migration: documenting all existing URLs and their rankings, creating a complete 301 redirect map, auditing the new site in staging for on-page and technical SEO issues, and monitoring rankings and crawl behavior post-launch. The firm preserved its organic search visibility through the transition and continued generating qualified leads without the traffic drop that commonly follows a site relaunch.

HEALTHCARE | SEATTLE

A healthcare practice in Seattle launched a new website with updated branding and restructured service pages. Our migration plan included redirect mapping for every location and specialty page, canonical tag configuration, XML sitemap submission, Google Business Profile verification, and post-launch monitoring. The practice maintained its keyword rankings and local search visibility through the transition, avoiding the organic traffic loss that affects most healthcare sites during a redesign.

What Seattle Business Owners Say

“We wanted an SEO partner that focused on long-term growth rather than quick fixes. Their team optimized our website, improved our local search presence, and kept us informed every step of the way. Over time, our rankings improved, and we began receiving a steady flow of inquiries from customers searching for our services.”

Michael, Capitol Hill

“Our organic traffic used to look good on paper but produced very few customers. They rebuilt our strategy around buyer intent, and every month we can point to real leads and revenue that came directly from search.”

Sarah, Bellevue

“They took time to understand our business before recommending anything. The 90-day roadmap gave us a clear picture of what would happen and when. Six months in, we rank for the terms that bring us buyers.”

David, Ballard

Frequently Asked Questions About SEO Migration Services in Seattle

What is an SEO migration?

An SEO migration is the process of preserving your organic search rankings and traffic when your website undergoes a major change. This includes platform or CMS changes (WordPress to Shopify, for example), domain name changes, URL structure changes, site redesigns, HTTPS transitions, and content restructuring. Without SEO management, these changes can cause significant drops in organic traffic that take months to recover from.

How much does an SEO migration cost?

Most SEO migration projects for Seattle businesses range from $3,000 to $10,000, depending on the size of your website, the complexity of the migration (platform change vs. URL restructure vs. domain move), and the number of URLs that need redirect mapping. Large sites with thousands of pages, complex URL structures, or multiple domains fall at the higher end. We scope every engagement based on a pre-migration assessment.

How long does an SEO migration take?

The SEO migration process typically runs 2 to 4 weeks before launch (pre-migration audit, redirect mapping, staging site review) and 4 to 12 weeks after launch (post-launch monitoring, error resolution, ranking recovery tracking). The total engagement depends on site size and migration complexity. Our 90-Day Action Roadmap includes migration milestones so progress is tracked from pre-launch through post-launch stabilization.

What are 301 redirects, and why do they matter?

A 301 redirect is a permanent redirect that tells Google a page has moved from one URL to another. When your website changes URLs during a migration, 301 redirects ensure that the link equity, rankings, and traffic associated with the old URL transfer to the new one. Missing or incorrect redirects result in 404 errors, lost link equity, and ranking drops. The redirect map is the most critical deliverable in any SEO migration.

Can I lose rankings during a migration even with SEO management?

Minor, temporary ranking fluctuations are normal during any migration as Google recrawls and reindexes your site. With proper SEO management, these fluctuations are small and resolve within days to weeks. Without SEO management, the losses are often severe and can take 6 to 12 months to recover from. Our post-launch monitoring catches issues early so they can be resolved before they compound.

When should I bring in an SEO migration specialist?

Before the migration starts. The most effective time to involve an SEO specialist is during the planning phase, before any URLs change, before the new site goes into development, and before the launch date is set. Bringing in SEO after launch means reacting to damage rather than preventing it. We work alongside your design and development team from the planning stage through post-launch monitoring.
