WORDPRESS RESCUE AND MIGRATION SERVICES

A WordPress migration service that starts with your rankings

WordPress runs a huge share of the web, and plenty of those sites are fine. The trouble starts when a site has grown by plugin. A page builder, a slider, a forms plugin, a caching plugin to fix the slowness the others caused, and a security plugin to guard the rest. Each one needs updating, each update can break another, and the site gets slower and harder to trust.

We rescue those sites first, then move them to custom code. The move is planned around one rule: you keep the search traffic you have already earned.

Rescue comes first

If the site has been hacked, is showing spam pages or has a browser warning, that is fixed before anything else. We clean the site, close the hole that let the attacker in, reset access and put proper backups in place. A stable site buys time to plan the migration properly instead of rushing it.

How we protect your rankings

Migrations lose traffic for predictable reasons: URLs change without redirects, pages that ranked are dropped, titles and structured data disappear, or everything old is pointed at the homepage. Each of those can be avoided with care.

Crawl and inventory

We crawl every URL on the old site and combine it with your Search Console and analytics data. That tells us which pages bring traffic, which have links from other sites and which can safely go.

A one-to-one redirect map

Every old URL that matters gets a permanent redirect to its closest new page. Pages that merge are redirected to the merged page. Nothing is sent to the homepage just to make an error go away.

Carry the signals across

Titles, descriptions, headings, internal links, image alt text and structured data move with the content. Where they were weak, we improve them.

Check, then watch

At launch we test every redirect and submit the new sitemap. Afterwards we watch Search Console for errors and fix anything that slips. We go into more detail in moving off WordPress without losing your Google rankings.

What you move to

Your new site is custom code in Laravel, with a Filament admin built around your content. There is no plugin stack to patch every week, pages load quickly, and editing is simpler than it was in WordPress. The build follows our usual web design and development process: a fixed price for each stage, a prototype first, and weekly releases on a staging site you can check whenever you like.

Moving platforms is work we do beyond WordPress too. For our client Opus Smile, a dental tourism business, we are moving their system from GoHighLevel to a standalone Laravel stack, for the same reasons many businesses leave WordPress: more control, fewer monthly add-ons and a system shaped around how the business actually works.

After the move

A migration is a good moment to push on with search. Our SEO and AI search team can build on the clean foundation, and a care plan keeps the new site hosted, updated, backed up and monitored.
