What Is A Website Migration?
Moving from one domain to another, adjusting templates, changing URL structure and other core site elements have incredible impact on organic search. Will your new URLs be properly indexed by search engines after your site hierarchy changes? Will your keyword terms carry over to the new page content and layout? Website migrations are necessary as users come to expect consistent improved online experiences, and that often means a new site. But don’t fall into the trap of focusing on design and losing site of organic search. Oni can help you have a smoother website transition while retaining organic wins throughout the process.
