Expert Website Migration SEO for Dubai & GCC Businesses
Preserve Rankings During Redesigns, Revamps & Site Moves
Are you planning to revamp your website, or already launched one and noticed your Google traffic tanked?
Whether you're moving to a new domain, upgrading your CMS, or just redesigning your current site, SEO is often the last thing on the dev or design team's checklist. But it’s the first thing Google notices when something breaks.
Our Website Migration SEO service ensures your organic performance survives the change—and thrives on the other side.
Why Website Migration SEO Is Critical
In 2026, website changes—whether a full redesign or CMS upgrade—can quietly destroy your SEO if not handled properly. Across Dubai and GCC, we see businesses lose rankings overnight due to:
New designs changing URL structures without redirects
Pages removed without preserving SEO value
Platform switches (e.g., WordPress to Shopify) without mapping old paths
Multilingual or mobile-first transitions breaking internal links or schema
Without proper planning, search engines and AI systems can’t connect the dots. Backlinks break. Rankings vanish. And your visibility across Google Search and AI Overviews disappears.
A well-managed SEO migration ensures:
Your high-ranking URLs and backlink equity are preserved
Redirects are clean, fast, and SEO-friendly
Structured data, internal links, and crawl paths stay intact
You retain visibility in search results, featured snippets, and AI summaries
Who This Is For
This service is built for:
Dubai businesses doing a full website redesign or relaunch
Marketing teams in Riyadh, Doha, or Manama preparing for a platform switch
Startups merging microsites into a single domain
Ecommerce sites in Kuwait City expanding product categories or languages
Dev teams launching a staging version live without SEO prep
If you’ve recently launched or plan to, and organic traffic is critical—this is for you.
Inside a Website Migration Plan
We don’t just run tools—we build a plan tailored to your site’s structure and your business goals.
Here’s what our approach includes:
- Pre-Migration Audit & URL Inventory: We scan your current site to identify which pages matter most by traffic, links, and keywords. These must be preserved, redirected, or intentionally retired.
- URL Mapping & Redirect Strategy: Using AI and crawl tools, we map old pages to new ones—even when URL patterns change. No dead ends. No “Page Not Found.”
- Schema, Sitemaps & Internal Links: We ensure all structured data is carried forward and that your sitemap reflects the new structure. Internal links are checked and updated, not left broken.
- Live Monitoring & QA: We track redirects, crawl errors, and indexing issues in real-time. If anything breaks, we catch and fix it fast—before Google does.
- Post-Migration Support: We monitor traffic trends, flag losses, and help your team optimize newly launched sections for long-term growth.
Our Engagement Models
- Done-for-You SEO Migration: We manage the entire SEO process—from pre-launch planning to post-launch fixes. You focus on your new design, we protect your visibility.
- 1-on-1 Consulting Sessions: Already midway through a redesign? We’ll audit your staging site, review planned changes, and suggest fixes to avoid traffic loss.
- Training for Internal Teams: Need to empower your developers or content team? We offer live, hands-on training sessions, SOPs, and checklists built for Dubai and GCC teams.
Did you know?
68% of websites lose traffic after a redesign — mostly due to missing redirects or deleted content (Ahrefs)
Google resets its crawl patterns if your site structure changes significantly, often wasting crawl budget on low-value or broken pages
AI Overviews in 2026 rely on URL and content continuity — if entities or topics shift too much, you might disappear from summaries
Google’s AI Mode prioritizes structured, well-linked, and semantically rich pages — migrations without clear signals may be ignored entirely
Sites using structured, AI-tested redirects recover visibility 30–40% faster than those that don’t
Poor schema and internal link loss are among the top reasons sites fail to appear in Google SGE or local packs post-migration
Crawl frequency drops post-migration if internal linking is disrupted or redirect chains aren’t optimized, delaying your recovery
