// Fix_07

    Rankings dropped after a site migration.

    Redirect gaps, rendering regressions, lost internal links and changed templates. We find what the migration dropped and get it back.

    Migrations lose rankings for boringly consistent reasons: URLs that weren't mapped, redirects that chain, content that shrank in the new template, internal links that disappeared with the old navigation, and a front end that no longer renders for crawlers. Recovery is a reconciliation exercise, and speed matters.

    // Key_Takeaways

    • Every old URL with impressions in the last twelve months needs a mapped destination, not a homepage redirect.
    • Template changes that reduce on-page content are a common invisible cause of post-migration loss.
    • Internal link equity often disappears with the old navigation and is never rebuilt.

    A migration doesn't lose rankings. Unmapped URLs, thinner templates and missing links lose rankings.

    // Frequently_Asked

    Questions about this engagement.

    How quickly should we act?+

    Immediately. Recovery correlates strongly with how fast redirects and content are restored; months of 404s make it much harder.

    We migrated a year ago. Is it too late?+

    No, but expect a rebuild of the lost pages rather than a clean restoration of prior positions.

    Can you audit a migration before we launch?+

    Yes, and it's dramatically cheaper than fixing one. Pre-launch reconciliation is part of our migration audit.

    What if the old URLs are gone from our records?+

    Search Console, analytics exports, server logs, backlink data and archive services usually reconstruct enough to work with.
