    Merchants can protect SEO during a migration by carefully preserving the website’s existing search signals and making the transition easy for search engines to understand.

    Key steps include:

    • Keep important URLs unchanged where possible.
    • Create 301 redirects from old URLs to their corresponding new URLs.
    • Migrate SEO metadata, including title tags, meta descriptions, headings, and relevant content.
    • Preserve valuable content and backlinks.
    • Submit the new XML sitemap to Google Search Console.
    • Check robots.txt and indexing settings to ensure important pages aren’t blocked.
    • Fix broken links and crawl errors before and after launch.
    • Use canonical URLs correctly to avoid duplicate-content issues.
    • Monitor rankings and organic traffic before and after migration.
    • Test the new site thoroughly before switching the domain.

    The goal is to make the migration as seamless as possible so search engines can understand that the new URLs represent the same valuable content as the old site.
