Relaunch as a migration, not a redesign.

Rebuild without losing visibility: URL inventory, redirect map, content and signals preserved, a controlled launch with monitoring through the first weeks.

Six checkpoints between briefing and launch.

The order is not negotiable, because each step builds on the one before it.

  1. Crawl and baseline

    A full crawl of the existing site plus a Search Console export: every indexed URL, every ranking query, the internal link graph and the schema already in place.

  2. Redirect map

    Every old URL gets a target. One to one where possible, consolidated into canonical groups where the new architecture flattens depth. Validated before launch.

  3. Content equivalence

    Ranking pages keep the wording that earned the ranking. It moves into the new design instead of being deleted. Cuts are deliberate and documented.

  4. Schema preserved or extended

    Organization, Service, Article, FAQPage and BreadcrumbList are re-implemented in the new templates. Structured data gets added, never removed.

  5. Staging QA

    The new site lives on a robots-blocked staging host until the switch. Performance, accessibility, schema and the redirect map are green beforehand.

  6. Launch monitoring

    Crawl stats, indexing report and rankings through the first 30 days after launch. Anomalies get handled the same day.

Three signals that it does not fit.

A relaunch only pays off when there is something to preserve.

  1. You are starting with no existing site and no rankings. A new build is simpler and cheaper than a migration.
  2. The existing site has no organic visibility and you want to keep none of it. Then skip the migration work entirely.
  3. The relaunch already happened and the rankings are gone. That is no longer a relaunch but a recovery, and a recovery starts with a diagnosis.

Common questions about the relaunch.

Why do so many relaunches lose rankings?

Three reasons in this order: the URL structure changes without redirects, the content changes so much that Google has to re-evaluate everything, and the new template strips structural signals such as schema, breadcrumbs and internal links.

How do you protect rankings at the switch?

A redirect map across every old URL, validated against the crawl and Search Console data. Schema is preserved. Internal linking is documented and migrated. The new site goes through full QA on a staging host before the switch.

Can I keep my existing CMS?

Sometimes. If the CMS is part of the problem, we replace it. If it holds up and only needs better templates, we keep it. That decision comes after the audit, not before.

What if the previous agency left damage behind?

That is the most common starting point. We document the inherited defects factually and rebuild what can be saved. Sometimes a fresh start is cleanest, sometimes swapping individual templates is enough.

How long does a relaunch take?

Eight to twelve weeks, the same window as a new build. Discovery is shorter because content and data already exist, and the migration phase is correspondingly longer.
