Most migration traffic loss is avoidable
When a store loses traffic after moving to Shopify, the cause is almost always the same: missing redirects, changed page content, dropped metadata or broken internal links. None of it is inevitable. It just needs someone whose job is protecting search during the move.
I run the SEO side of the migration, or the whole migration, with a crawl-based URL map, pre-launch checks and daily Search Console monitoring after launch. See technical SEO and ecommerce SEO for ongoing work.
An SEO-first migration plan
- Full crawl baseline — every indexed URL, ranking page and backlink target recorded before the move.
- URL mapping — one-to-one 301 map from old URLs to new ones, with no redirect chains.
- Content parity — titles, headings, copy and metadata kept on pages that rank, so Google sees the same value.
- Structured data — product, review, breadcrumb and organization schema set up on the new templates.
- Pre-launch QA — staging crawl, redirect test and robots checks before DNS changes.
- 30-day monitoring — daily Search Console checks for coverage, 404s and ranking movement, with fixes as they appear.
From first call to launch
-
Migration audit
A free call and a read-only audit of your current store: catalog, customers, orders, URLs, apps and integrations.
-
Mapping & redirect plan
Every product, collection, page and URL mapped, with a 301 plan that keeps your rankings intact.
-
Staging rehearsal
The full migration runs on a staging store first, checked line by line before anything goes live.
-
Cutover & 30-day watch
A planned cutover window, then 30 days of monitoring rankings, orders and tracking so nothing slips.
