You guys worked, and worked seriously hard to get us answers to complex problems. The integrity, the professionalism, and the all-around good-guys vibe was a pleasure to experience. Never once did anybody on the team say no to a request, and the communication was great. StudioHawk is number one for a reason and we're glad we got to actually experience it.

I have been working closely with StudioHawk for the past few months, and the results have been amazing! Without their guidance and support, I would've undoubtedly been unable to obtain first page rankings for the keywords 'tutor', 'tutors' and 'tutoring' - all of which are ultra-competitive keywords. Thanks, guys!

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

SEO website migration FAQs

When do I know that I should migrate websites?
Sometimes your website won’t allow you to perform certain actions. Your CMS might be slow and outdated, and possibly insecure. Your business may have evolved and grown, and so you need a more complex website capable of handling more products and services and, more importantly, more traffic.
What sized migrations can StudioHawk assist with?

How large is your website? Is it a small business with a handful of product pages and some blog posts? We can do any size.

Are you an enterprise-level business with a website that has thousands of products, internal links and a host of backlinks? We can help you migrate too.

StudioHawk has successfully helped businesses of all sizes with an SEO Migration.

What happens if I don’t migrate all of my content and metadata?

The simple answer is – you lose your SEO and organic rankings. Your current SEO success is based on all of your site structure, authority, content and metadata. You can’t just take some and leave the rest. It will hurt your ranking.

How can we retain all of our SEO backlinks when doing a site migration?

StudioHawk does a backlink audit first, to clean up any broken or toxic backlinks. Then we implement backlink redirects to your new domain. This keeps the Page Authority gained from any potential lost backlinks and helps mitigate potential lost authority.

How important are 301 redirects in a migration?

In a word – very important. They are permanent redirects that pass full page rank equity to the redirected page. 301 redirects are a fundamental process for any migration.

Can you migrate a website without losing SEO?

SEO migration is not an exact science. It can be quite volatile. We can plan and prepare as much as we can, but there can always be some loss of SEO. However, by keeping with StudioHawk we can campaign to regain any SEO losses and help mitigate any volatility.

 
How long does it take to migrate a website?

How long is a piece of string? While uploading the redirects can be done pretty much right away, if you have a complicated website, with many pages it can take weeks or even months to map out and plan for a migration.

 
What are the most important steps of a migration?

We would say the 301 redirects are the most important part of your SEO migration. You want that page authority to be kept from your old site and that’s what a 301 redirect can give you.

How much does an SEO migration cost?

This depends on how big your site is and how much help you require to get the SEO site migration done right. 

A simple, small business website with only ten pages would take less time and money to migrate, compared to a large business with over a thousand web pages, internal links, backlinks and a swathe of metadata and content to migrate.

Why should your business choose StudioHawk for a website migration service?

StudioHawk has successfully helped HEAPS of businesses migrate their websites. We’ve created our own comprehensive checklist so we don’t miss anything, not the smallest detail.

We will walk you through the process and be there to help if things get a little rocky.

We are very good at what we do, and we’d like to help you too.
