Move WordPress without losing a single ranking
Hosts, domains, and CMS platforms. We move WordPress sites clean, with a full URL map, a written SEO preservation plan, and a no ranking loss guarantee.
Migration risk check
Question 1 of 3
What are you moving from?
The starting point sets what usually breaks and how careful the redirect map has to be.
The short answer
A WordPress migration service moves your site to a new host, a new domain, or from another CMS without downtime and without losing search rankings. Every URL gets mapped, every redirect is a single clean 301, and every job ships with a written SEO preservation plan. Straight host moves start at $499. CMS migrations start at $1,499. Complex ecommerce starts at $2,999. All fixed quotes, no hourly surprises.
SEO safety, in six locked steps
Ranking loss is the fear owners bring up first. Every migration we run passes through these six checkpoints before it goes live. This is what a migration service should actually mean.
Full URL map before we touch anything
We crawl the live site, export every indexed URL, and match it to its final destination on the new stack. Nothing is missed because nothing is guessed.
One clean 301 per URL, no chains
Every old URL gets a single permanent redirect to its new address. No 302s, no daisy chains, no redirect loops that quietly bleed rankings.
Canonicals, sitemaps, and robots re-checked
Canonical tags, sitemap.xml, robots.txt, and hreflang are re-audited on the destination so Google sees a consistent signal from day one.
Search Console + Bing warmed on the new host
We resubmit sitemaps, request indexing on top pages, and monitor coverage for 30 days. If a URL drops, we know before you do.
Ranking baseline, then a 30 day comparison
We snapshot your top 100 keywords the day before cutover and compare weekly for a month. Written report, not a promise.
No ranking loss guarantee
If organic traffic falls more than 10 percent inside 30 days from causes we control, we roll back or refund. In writing, in the quote.

How we move it
- 1
Discovery and URL crawl
We walk your site, list every URL, plugin, integration, and dependency. You get a written scope before anyone touches the site.
- 2
Stage on the new host
We build the new site privately on the destination host. Visitors keep hitting the live site while we work.
- 3
Fix, test, verify
Links, forms, email, checkout, and performance are tested on staging. Nothing goes live until it passes.
- 4
SEO safety pass
Redirect map, canonicals, sitemaps, robots, and Search Console all re-audited on staging before cutover.
- 5
Cutover with rollback ready
DNS switch during your quietest hour. Old server stays hot for 72 hours so a rollback is one click away.
- 6
30 day watch
We monitor coverage, rankings, and errors for a month after cutover. Written report at day 30.
Done for you vs the tools
Why not just use a plugin or a migration tool?
Automated migration tools cover the mechanics of moving records. They do not run the URL map, they do not watch Search Console, and none of them stand behind rankings in writing. That is the whole reason this page exists.
| What you get | W WebCare Studios Done for you | L LitExtension Automated tool | M Matrixify Shopify tool | W All in One WP Migration WordPress plugin |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Human engineer runs the whole move | ||||
| Fixed written quote before the job starts | ||||
| Full URL redirect map, one 301 per URL | ||||
| Written no ranking loss guarantee | ||||
| Product images kept at scale (ecommerce) | ||||
| Cart, customers, and order history preserved | ||||
| Search Console coverage watched for 30 days | ||||
| Rollback plan and old server kept warm 72 hours | ||||
| Works when the site is bigger than the upload limit |
Scores are based on public product pages, plugin documentation, and hands on experience running the same migrations. Partial means the vendor covers the mechanics but leaves the SEO or ecommerce workflow to the buyer.

Common questions
Will my site go down during the move?+
No. We stage the new site first and only switch DNS after everything is verified. Visitors keep hitting the live site until the new one is ready, then transition seamlessly.
Will I lose my Google rankings?+
No. We build a full URL map before cutover, use one clean 301 per URL, re-audit canonicals and sitemaps, and monitor Search Console for 30 days. If organic traffic falls more than 10 percent from causes we control, we roll back or refund.
How long does a WordPress migration take?+
A straight host move usually takes 3 to 5 days. A domain change or CMS migration usually takes 1 to 2 weeks. Complex ecommerce or membership sites take 2 to 4 weeks. Timeline is agreed in writing before we start.
How much does a WordPress migration cost?+
Straight host moves start at $499. Domain change or CMS migration starts at $1,499. Complex ecommerce migration starts at $2,999. Every job gets a fixed written quote, no hourly billing surprises.
Can you migrate from Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, or Webflow?+
Yes. We move content, products, customers, orders, and 301 every old URL to its new WordPress home. See our dedicated pages for each source platform.
What if the old developer is gone?+
Common situation. We take over inherited sites, document what is there, and migrate what should move. If credentials are missing we can usually recover access through the domain registrar or host.
