Site Migration

Moving a website to a new domain, platform, design or URL structure.

Migrations risk significant traffic loss without careful planning. Best practice includes URL mapping, comprehensive 301 redirects, preserving content quality, maintaining or improving on-page elements, updating canonical and hreflang tags, monitoring crawl behaviour and tracking ranking changes for months. Wix supports phased migration with bulk redirect import via CSV.
