Migrating content to protect SEO rankings and performance
A critical part of any platform migration is ensuring that existing content and SEO equity are preserved. For Alert Electrical, we took a meticulous approach to transferring their entire content ecosystem, which we are also implementing, including products, categories, pages, blogs, and case studies.
All metadata was migrated accurately, and wherever possible, product and collection URLs were retained to safeguard existing rankings. For any changes in site structure, we implemented a detailed redirect map to maintain link equity and user flow. We also used a staging environment to thoroughly test content, layout, and technical performance before launch.
Technical SEO actions taken:
- Submitted updated sitemaps to Google Search Console and improved structured data
- Prioritised top-performing pages to maintain post-launch visibility
- Set up and tested tracking environments in GA4, GTM, Hotjar, and Google Ads
- Verified the product feed in Google Merchant Centre
- Conducted a post-launch audit
