The Migration Risk

What Happens When Migrations Go Wrong

Most Nairobi businesses only call an SEO agency AFTER a migration has already destroyed their rankings. Here's what poor migrations actually cost.

📉

Immediate Ranking Drops

Incorrect redirects or missing pages can wipe out years of rankings in 24–48 hours.

🔗

Broken Redirect Chains

Loops, 302s, and missing redirects leak authority and confuse Google completely.

🚫

Deindexed Pages

Accidental noindex, robots.txt, or canonical errors strip your pages from the index.

⚡

Core Web Vitals Collapse

New platform performance issues tank CWV and mobile experience at the same time.

🔒

Lost HTTPS & Security

Mixed content, SSL errors, and dropped security headers destroy trust signals.

💸

Revenue Bleed

Organic traffic vanishes, paid ads can't compensate, and the business loses months of growth.

Every Old URL Needs a New Home

  • 1:1 URL mapping for equivalent pages
  • Content consolidation strategy for merged pages
  • 301 vs 302 decision matrix
  • Redirect chain and loop elimination
  • Canonical tag alignment across old and new URLs
  • XML sitemap regeneration and submission

Frequently Asked Questions

Migration & Recovery FAQs

Answers to the questions we hear most from Nairobi businesses.

What is an SEO migration?
An SEO migration is the process of moving a website from one domain, platform, or structure to another while preserving its search rankings, traffic, and authority. Examples include domain changes, HTTPS migrations, CMS changes, and URL restructuring.
Can you recover lost rankings after a bad migration?
Yes. Most post-migration ranking drops are recoverable. We diagnose the migration issues (redirects, missing pages, canonical errors, indexation problems) and restore your site's search visibility — often within 3–6 months, depending on the severity.
How much does an SEO migration cost in Nairobi?
SEO migrations in Nairobi typically range from KES 100,000 to KES 400,000 depending on site size and complexity. Post-migration recovery audits start from KES 80,000. Fixed-scope proposals are provided after a discovery call.
How long does an SEO migration take?
A typical SEO migration engagement takes 4–8 weeks from planning to launch, with 90 days of post-migration monitoring included. Complex migrations (e.g. multi-region or enterprise) may take longer.
Can you help if our site was hacked?
Yes. We help clean up malware, remove spam, restore indexation, and recover rankings after a hack — including submitting reconsideration requests where necessary.
