Domain Migration Case Study: Increasing E-commerce Traffic by 20% with a Leaner Site

A high-growth online furniture retailer looking to rebrand and consolidate their digital presence. The project involved moving to a new domain while simultaneously "pruning" low-performing content to create a leaner, more authoritative website.

The Challenge

Domain migrations are historically risky; the goal was to transition the entire catalog to a new URL structure without losing three years of built-up SEO equity. Additionally, the client wanted to remove redundant or thin content, which meant the new site would have fewer pages than the original—a move that usually risks a temporary drop in keyword footprint.

Our Approach

1

Data Benchmarking

We audited the legacy site to establish a three-year performance baseline, identifying which pages drove value and which were dead weight.

2

Multi-Milestone Migration Plan

We developed a rigorous roadmap featuring multiple crawls and technical checks at every stage (pre-launch, staging, and post-launch).

3

Precision Redirect Mapping

To protect the visibility of excluded pages, we created a comprehensive 301-redirect map. Every "lost" page was pointed to its closest equivalent or a highly relevant category destination to ensure no "link juice" was wasted.

4

Crawl & Indexability Optimization

We overhauled the site architecture to ensure search engine bots could crawl the new domain more efficiently, prioritizing high-margin furniture collections.
