What is SEO migration?
During the migration of your website, we 'move' your whole website or a few pages of it to, for example, a new domain or CMS. It’s only an SEO migration if the accumulated SEO value is considered and it is consciously moved. SEO migration goes way beyond redirects and some plugins. After all, a strategic SEO migration takes all sources into account and prevents search engines from reacting negatively to the structural changes to your website.
When is SEO migration necessary?
There is no magic formula that you can use to measure whether SEO migration is necessary because every website is different and faces specific challenges. Naturally there are many different types of migration.
SEO migration is necessary in these circumstances:
Major technical or structural changes:
New CMS
Change of URL structure
Transition from HTTP to HTTPS (secure)
New shop technology
Launch of a new website or platform
Merging different domains
Taking over a domain name
New brand and/or domain name
Any of the above circumstances demand an in-depth risk analysis.
And for every situation there is a migration:
So when we speak of a website migration, we refer to the implementation of any major changes to the website that can significantly affect visibility in search engines. This can be back-end, content or front-end:
A practical example: recently, many companies had to switch from e-commerce platform Magento 1 to Magento 2. A platform migration, in other words. We helped our clients Cavallaro, Babboe and NEVI with well executed SEO migrations.
Perform even better in search results
SEO is everywhere and vital for the modern marketer. We will help you get started with this complete SEO guide.
What should you pay attention to when migrating?
There are a lot of different factors involved in this, so in theory there is a lot that can go wrong with a migration. We are going to list the most common pitfalls here.
Be careful with widgets and technical extras
To maintain rankings, migrated pages must be very similar to the old website’s pages. Therefore, it is important that you pay attention to JavaScript frameworks such as React, because some interactions will only be accessible under their own URL, and it is essential that search engines can read the content easily.
Core Web Vitals
Video, high-resolution images, fun widgets and other fun things that make your content attractive demand extra attention. When it comes to Google's Core Web Vitals, the 3 metrics that connect page speed to UX, mean that anything that has a negative impact on the loading time of your website also has a negative impact on your rankings. It is important that you get good advice.
Take the Google crawl budget into account
Google has a crawl budget for every website: this is the number of URLs that Google can and wants to index. With large websites, the trick is to manage the crawl budget carefully so that Google (for your SEO) indexes, your most important pages well. Migration that ignores this risks a loss of search traffic on your conversion pages.
Pay extra attention to company takeovers, mergers, and name changes
Google is poor at determining whether a migrated domain name was purchased purely for SEO value or is an actual company merger and name change. A poorly executed SEO migration sends the same signals as black hat SEO activities. This type of confusion can be avoided by taking the right steps in the right sequence.
A badly managed migration will result in a domain reset. This means that you lose all your accumulated search traffic and ranking potential. This happened when the department store chain V&D migrated their website www.vd.nl in 2015. Their restart as an online department store did not meet Google's requirements for the continuation of a domain name on a new platform. 3 years later, in 2018, the website had recovered the old level despite renewed SEO efforts.
Can you still save the structure when mistakes happen?
Prevention is always better than cure, yet in practice we also regularly carry out retrospective migrations.
If our clients transition to a new website or domain without considering SEO, the consequences can be disastrous. Visitors are shown 404-pages, Google results suddenly lead to non-existent pages and previously high-performing content is not found on the new site. The example below shows what can happen to your organic traffic if you don’t take SEO into account in a website migration:
The graph illustrates this, we were involved only after the (failed) migration. It is possible to rectify the situation, but the loss ofsix months of organic traffic is obvious.
Common mistakes in an SEO migration
The above example is no exception. We have noticed that more companies are calling iO after they have experienced unexpected negative consequences. The cause can often be found in one of the following problems:
Poor strategy with unclearly defined objectives and requirements.
Implementing changes in multiple areas at the same time.
Lack of resources/budget.
Insufficient time for the actual migration and testing.
No solid pre-migration analysis, high-performing content does not migrate properly.
In many cases, the underlying cause is that, in practice, for clients it can be difficult to properly brief your development partner. If you are uncertain which parts of your current domain are most valuable, and which parts of your new environment will grow your value, it is easy to overlook crucial elements in terms of content or technology. A website is always a compromise between design and functionality, on the one hand and effectiveness and design for SEO on the other. That is why it’s worthwhile collaborating with an experienced full-service agency such as iO. With all the necessary knowledge in-house, we leave nothing to chance, and a well organised SEO migration can be very (cost-)efficient.
Follow best practices
A new site is primarily an opportunity for growth. Collaborating closely with iO when you are preparing for (major) changes to your site means that we can share our knowledge of best practices easily with you.
Process-based
Avoid discussion by properly mapping out all the requirements for the website and involve development at the earliest stage of the process.
Do not migrate front-end and back-end at the same time. If something goes wrong, the cause is easier to trace. For example, first perform the migration to the back end, and then the new web design and site structure.
Make time and budget available for development set up a staging environment in which you can test the new site.
Test the website for at least 2 weeks in the staging-environment and only go live when everything is proven to work well, and the redirect-plan has been properly implemented.
Back up the current site so that you can revert in case of critical incidents.
Schedule a go-live on a Monday or Tuesday, so that developers are available in the following days to solve any problems.
Technical
Mobile first. Navigating and orientation, but also conversion should be possible on mobile.
The speed of your website is crucial for mobile users. This is especially true for informational pages that users visit early in the orientation process.
Crawling & indexing are essential, so use JavaScript and other interactive elements only when it's necessary, and make sure it doesn't cause any problems for Google or Bing.
Case: A Successful Website Migration for SRO
SRO provides well-maintained, vital, and future-proof sports facilities in various municipalities in the Netherlands. The new website of SRO was launched in April 2019. Due to the close cooperation between SRO, SowiesoHelder (development) and iO, the website migration was very successful. We not only retained (organic) traffic and search results, but we increased traffic, search positions and most importantly, conversions. Some of our achievements:
More than ten number-1-positions (organic search results).
34% more conversions.
20% increase in general traffic.

That growing influence and Bing’s market share are some aspects you should leverage in your digital strategies. You can ignore 5% of your potential visitors, but ignoring 18% of the queries that lead to your business would probably have a significant impact on your business – and not in a good way.Read moreBlog

2024: the next step for analytics and tracking in a 'privacy first' world
You may not have noticed, but a lot has changed in terms of analytics and tracking over the past five years. This is partly because we've already grown accustomed to many changes, and partly because their impact has come very gradually. Half a decade ago, no one knew of the existence of a cookie banner, a year later everyone thought they could never get used to it, and today we don't know any better. We've made serious strides in terms of data regulation, and perhaps the biggest steps are yet to come in 2024.Read moreBlog

2023: a year in an era of change
Does the name Leonhard Huizinga still ring a bell for anyone? Once a popular Dutch writer, now forgotten. He made his debut in 1936 with the book 'De Gestroomlijnde Wereld'. Already a wanderer at a young age, Huizinga's book opened an unknown world to many readers. An exotic world, which seemed to be getting smaller and smaller, because it was more accessible by car, train, boat, and airplane. Faster, more comfortable and with more and more streamlining — quite literally. Curious, boundless, full of wonder. Not realising, as early as 1936, that over that same world lay the shadows of tomorrow.Read moreBlog

Building trust in a cookieless era
We all know third-party cookies, a marketer's bread and butter, are leaving the building. The cookieless future was irrevocably set into motion when Google decided to remove them completely by 2024. This presents us with the unique challenge of tracking an audience that does not only demand an excellent experience but is increasingly privacy-conscious, too – quite paradoxical, we know. You’ve probably also heard that first-party data is the way to go. So, how can you turn leads into returning customers and, more importantly, how will you procure their data?

Historical data export - Universal Analytics
Deadline for exporting Universal Analytics: 1st of July 2024 After the 1st of July 2024, it will no longer be possible to access data in Universal Analytics. Therefore, it’s essential to take timely action and export the data before that day. By exporting the data before the access is closed, you can gain valuable insights, store the data securely and take any further actions. It is wise not to do this at the last minute, as there may be obstacles, such as errors in extraction or technical challenges. To avoid potential problems, it is advisable to transfer the data in time to environment where it can be stored securely. That way, you can later use the data for further analysis or transformation purposes. By acting now, you can ensure that you don’t lose the valuable data and are well prepared for the future.
