Summary

Technical healthFairMobile load time 4.8 s on service pages

ContentFairBlog traffic is high, but posts do not link to services

Findings (excerpt)

1. Duplicate and weak titles (high priority)

11 service pages use the pattern "Plumbing Services | Northgate". Searchers and search engines cannot tell "boiler repair" from "drain unblocking".

PageCurrent titleSuggested title
/boiler-repairPlumbing Services, NorthgateBoiler Repair in [City], Same-Day Callout, Northgate
/blocked-drainsPlumbing Services, NorthgateBlocked Drains Cleared in [City] from £89, Northgate

2. Town pages are near duplicates (high priority)

The 7 town pages are 94% identical text. Each needs at least 250 words unique to that town: areas covered, typical jobs there, travel time, a local customer review.

3. Slow service pages on mobile (medium)

Hero images average 1.9 MB. Compressing to WebP and setting width to 1,200 px would bring load time to about 2.5 s.

4. Blog does not pass value to services (medium)

The top 10 posts get 62% of organic visits, but only 2 of them link to a service page. "Why is my boiler losing pressure?" alone gets about 1,100 visits a month and links nowhere.

5. Tag pages indexed (low)

38 /tag/ pages with 1–3 posts each. Set them to noindex.

About this service

Moving to a new domain, platform or URL structure, or relaunching after a redesign, is the moment many sites lose half their search traffic, usually because old URLs return 404 or redirect to the home page. We build the SEO side of your move: a redirect map from each old URL to its best new match, a list of what must carry over (titles, content, internal links, structured data), and checks for before, during and after launch. You or your developer set up the redirects; the plan tells you exactly which ones and in what form.

What is included

  • What you getA redirect map from old to new URLs with notes on unclear matches, a migration checklist for before, during and after launch, and in higher packages an 8-week monitoring plan.
  • Redirect mapEach old URL to its best new match
  • No home page dumpsReal matches or a reasoned fallback
  • What must carry overTitles, content, links, markup
  • Launch-day checksRedirects, indexing, sitemap, tracking
  • MonitoringWhat to watch week by week

How it works

    URLsYou send old URLs and the new structure
  2. 2
    MapWe match URLs and write the checklist
  3. 3
    LaunchYour developer applies the redirects

What we need from you

A link to the current site, the list of old URLs (a crawl export, sitemap or pasted list), the new URL structure or new site address, the platforms involved and the launch date.

We will ask you:

  • What exactly is changing?
  • Can you provide the full list of old URLs?
  • Which pages bring the most traffic or sales?
  • When is the launch planned?

Questions and answers

Will we lose no traffic at all?

Some dip after a move is common even when everything is done right. A careful redirect map keeps it small and short, but no one can promise zero loss.

Should we migrate and redesign at the same time?

It is riskier, because it is harder to tell what caused a drop. If you must, the plan flags the pages where content changes most.

Do you set up the redirects?

No, we do not access servers or sites. The map is ready to hand to your developer or import into a redirect plugin.
