SEO Strategy
Execute flawless, technical site migration to save & bolster domain authority
-
The Problem
The client had two websites that were live simultaneously. The two sites competed for visibility in search and essentially cannibalized each other for competitive keyword rankings.
-
The Solution
We recommended the client migrate their product-specific website to the newer website’s domain. In doing so, we aimed to transfer the domain authority (DA) of the legacy site and strengthen the combined site’s DA.
To accomplish the migration without sacrificing DA, we produced a meticulous redirect map; connecting pages from the old site with 301 redirects to their relevant doppleganger on the new site.
Once the migration was completed, we executed a full technical crawl to check and eliminate any errors in the site’s functionality.-
Why it Matters
By eliminating the legacy site and effectively redirecting it, we eliminated the keyword competition between the client’s two websites and eliminated any customer confusion caused by the two rival domains.
Results
The site migration was the culmination of several months of ongoing authority-building SEO work, including link building and keyword optimization projects. As a result, when we merged the two websites, the client saw amplified results. When we compared the monthly organic traffic averages for both sites, before and after the migration, the results doubled.
139%
increase in website clicks year-over-year.
Beyond that, the number of site impressions for this period increased by 75%.
During this time we also executed an extensive keyword mapping project, disavowed links detrimental to their domain authority, and remained focused on eliminating duplicate content between the merged sites.
112%
increase in organic traffic, year-over-year.
Similarly, traffic increased 90% after the migration, it was up 112% year-over-year, reflecting a culmination and amplification of our SEO strategy.
