SEO Migrations without the traffic drop.

KreativeHub runs website migration SEO for medium and enterprise brands replatforming, redesigning or changing domain. We map every URL, build the 301 redirects, audit the staging site and monitor the launch, so your rankings, organic traffic and revenue survive the move instead of falling off a cliff.

A migration is the highest-risk thing you can do to your SEO

Replatforming, a redesign or a domain change touches every URL, redirect and template at once. Done without a plan, it can erase years of organic traffic the day you go live, and recovery often takes months. Done properly, nobody outside the project even notices the switch.

We are an SEO migration agency built for that pressure. We work alongside your developers and designers from the planning stage, not after launch when the rankings have already gone. The work connects directly to your wider search programme, so foundations stay clean through the move: see our Technical SEO for the underlying crawl and indexation work, E-commerce SEO for platform and catalogue moves, or step back up to the full SEO service. If you are mid-migration or planning one, start with a free migration audit.

Where migrations go wrong.

pos.pre-migration01
01

Pre-migration audit

Before anyone touches code, we benchmark current rankings, traffic and revenue and crawl the existing site so we have a complete map of every URL that earns or supports organic visibility. You cannot protect what you have not measured, and most traffic loss traces back to URLs nobody knew existed.

pos.redirect02
02

Redirect mapping

We build a complete 301 redirect map so every old URL points to its closest new equivalent, one to one wherever possible. This is where link equity and rankings are kept or lost. We do not route everything to the homepage, and we do not leave redirect chains that dilute authority.

pos.domain03
03

Domain and platform moves

A domain migration or a platform change carries extra risk: HTTPS, canonical signals, internal links and structured data all reset. We handle these as deliberate steps with their own checks, whether you are moving to a new content management system (CMS), consolidating sites, or changing domain.

pos.post-launch04
04

Post-launch monitoring

We monitor the switch in real time to catch 404 errors, broken redirects and indexation drops the moment they appear, then track rankings and traffic for weeks afterwards. The first 48 hours decide most migration outcomes, so we are watching when it matters, not reading a report a week later.

// a repeatable rhythm

How we run a migration.

phase.01
01

Plan

We map every URL and every requirement before a single line of code changes, and agree the redirect plan with your developers. This is the migration checklist that prevents the avoidable losses.

phase.02
02

Test

We audit the staging site against that plan to catch broken redirects, missing pages, blocked indexation and tracking gaps while they are still cheap to fix.

phase.03
03

Launch

We monitor the switch as it happens and fix immediate errors in real time, so problems are resolved in hours, not discovered in next month's traffic report.

phase.04
04

Verify

We track rankings, indexation and organic traffic for weeks after launch, confirm recovery against the pre-migration benchmark, and hand you a clear record of what moved and why.

Migration questions, answered.

Every question we get asked on first calls. Answered in writing — decide before you book.

As early as possible, ideally during the wireframing and design phase, before the new site architecture is locked. Most migration traffic loss is designed in before launch, not caused on launch day. Bringing us in early is far cheaper than recovering rankings after they have dropped.
SEO migration is the work of protecting organic search performance when a website changes platform, design or domain. The risk comes from changing many URLs and signals at once: if redirects, canonicals and indexation are not handled correctly, search engines treat the new site as unfamiliar and rankings fall. Done properly, the transition is invisible to search engines and to your traffic.
Not if the migration is planned and executed properly. Some short-term fluctuation in the first few weeks is normal as search engines recrawl and reindex the new site. With a complete redirect map, a tested staging site and real-time monitoring, most sites recover to their previous baseline within weeks rather than months.
A 301 is the permanent redirect status code that tells search engines a page has moved for good. It passes the ranking signals and link equity from the old URL (Uniform Resource Locator) to the new one. A complete, one-to-one 301 redirect map is the single most important factor in keeping traffic through a migration.
Yes. We handle domain migrations, content management system (CMS) and platform changes, site consolidations, and HTTP to HTTPS moves. Each carries its own risks around canonical signals, internal links and structured data, and we plan for them as distinct steps with their own checks rather than treating every migration the same.
Search engines usually recrawl and reindex a migrated site over 2 to 4 weeks, and we monitor closely throughout. We track performance against your pre-migration benchmark and confirm recovery before we consider the project closed, typically within 4 to 8 weeks for a well-planned move.
Yes. We work with medium and enterprise sites running tens of thousands of URLs, multiple templates and complex platforms. We use enterprise-grade crawling to map the full URL set, prioritise the pages that carry the most organic value, and coordinate directly with your development team through the move.
