A new website without losing Google visits
How we'd move an old site that still gets some Google visits to a new one without losing them.
Before7
After6
The challenge
- The old site has addresses like /index.php?id=12 that still get visits from Google.
- A downloadable PDF price sheet gets links from local forums.
- Nobody has a list of what's on the site or where the visits come from.
What we'd do
Full inventory
Every page and file, with its visits and links, from Search Console and a full crawl.
Redirect map
Each old address points to its new page: /index.php?id=12 goes to /clutch-replacement, and the PDF to the services page.
Monitoring after launch
Search Console checked in the weeks after launch to catch and fix any error.
Deliverables
- Page inventory
- Redirect map, page by page
- New site live on the same domain
- Search Console monitored after launch
