Three Step Migration
1
Identify the Data Source
The first thing we do for your data migration is figure out where your data is coming from. Even if you have a complex database setup, Accent can handle it.
2
Data Mapping
Once we’ve figured out your data sources and understand how your data is structured, the next step is to create a data mapping guide. This guide will show you exactly where everything will go before we start the migration.
3
Migrate
We use an Accent migration script that’s customised just for you to make moving your data to WordPress a breeze. Once the script is ready, we’ll run a test data migration to WordPress so you can see how everything’s shaping up. After that, we go through a quality assurance phase to make sure all your data is imported perfectly.
Safeguarding Your SEO Rankings During a Migration
We get it, a thriving online presence needs a stunning website and great search engine optimisation (SEO). Many clients worry about losing their SEO rankings during a content and data migration. That’s where Accent comes in, protecting your SEO efforts and rankings throughout the WordPress migration process. Here’s how we do it:
Redirection Strategy
When we migrate your site, Accent uses a seamless redirection strategy with permanent 301 redirects to lead visitors from old URLs to new ones. This ensures a smooth transition for both users and search engines, keeping your website’s link authority intact and protecting your rankings.
Data Integrity
Throughout the digital migration process, Accent takes great care to maintain the integrity of your website’s content. We preserve content, URL structures, and internal links to ensure that vital keywords and metadata keep their prominence. This careful attention to detail isn’t just a task—it’s our commitment to maintaining the SEO integrity that defines your online identity.
Sitemap Submission
At Accent, we understand how crucial it is to help search engines discover your new content. That’s why we create and submit an updated XML sitemap for your new domain. This proactive step ensures that search engines quickly find and index the new pages on your revamped website, improving the crawl and search indexation process.
Error Monitoring
Even after the migration, Accent stays on top of things by monitoring for broken links, missing pages, and any other issues that could hurt your SEO. This proactive approach means we can quickly fix problems, helping to maintain and even boost your website’s SEO rankings.
Testing Protocols
Accent conducts thorough testing to ensure that all essential SEO elements, like title tags, meta descriptions, alt attributes, and structured data, are correctly implemented and functioning. Our dedication to quality ensures that every aspect of your website follows SEO best practices.
Crawl and Index Checks
Accent makes sure that search engines are crawling and indexing your new website pages by using tools like Google Search Console. This continuous monitoring keeps us updated on your website’s progress, ensuring it stays visible and prominent in search results.
