Safely Crossing the Chasm with Website Redesign SEO Services
About to embark on a website redesign? Congratulations! This is an exciting time, with huge wins on the horizon. But it’s also nerve-wracking: This is a moment when your search engine optimization efforts are most fragile. All of your SEO equity—your link building and online authority, backlink portfolio, keyword visibility, and ranking—hinges on search engines being able to recognize your new website and old URLs as being one and the same.
A Safety Net for Your Organic Traffic
Even if you ticked every item on your website redesign SEO checklist, you know that your web traffic is still going to take a dip following the new site launch. But the reality is that, if you don’t properly shepherd your SEO equity across the rough terrain, that dip can be a crippling dive: Depending on the strength of your brand, the loss in traffic can be as much as 80% to 90%. If you really botch it, that traffic loss might even be permanent..
Get yourself an insurance policy. Climb’s expert SEO team can guide you across the chasm, safeguarding against the potential pitfalls. The earlier we can join your redesign process, the better. “SEO preservation” is much easier than “SEO salvage.”
But we don’t won’t to fixate on the negative. A website revamp and relaunch can easily become huge SEO wins for your company—with proper preparation and optimization. When we work closely with your design team early on, we can be sure that the core structure of your new site provides the absolute best scaffolding to support and expand your online visibility.
