“I’ve taken a ton of SEO courses. Yours are the best hands down. It’s super focused and what I most appreciate is that you don’t waste our time. You get right to it in every lesson. Thank you! And what’s great is you also keep it enjoyable with relevant examples and your enthusiasm and your fun sayings and metaphors. You’re a great teacher and I know my clients are going to get even better service now. Whoop!”
Do you get nervous if someone asks you to help with a website migration?
Every SEO at some point hears this:
“We have a website migration coming. Can you help us?”
It doesn’t matter if you work full-time or you’re a freelancer. A migration project will always find you (and I’m sure you’ve got these requests multiple times already).
But here’s the problem
It seems like you’re just “supposed to know” how to perform one of the most complex SEO tasks – help a website preserve its traffic during and after migration.
The reality is:
»»» If you’ve never migrated before, you just can’t know what to do
»»» You might have supported a few migrations before.
»»» Or you might be facing one soon and are afraid that you’ll do something wrong and ruin your client’s website.
»»» You don’t know where to start and you have no idea what to look for.
↓ ↓ ↓
As a result, you don’t yet feel confident enough to take on migration projects. So:
You had to turn down a potential client because you didn’t know how to help them migrate
You haven’t been promoted to a manager position yet
You have already made a lot of mistakes so you’re afraid to work with migrations again
Just reading a post or watching a YouTube video won’t help
You’re an SEO always striving to improve your skills. So you’ve already tried to learn everything about website migrations.
…you’ve watched many YouTube videos…
…read blog posts…
…took some SEO courses…
But then, Googling every question you have doesn’t always give good results. And it takes forever.
The courses you’ve taken were too basic.
And the articles you’ve read were not enough either.
You still have more questions than answers and don’t feel confident in your approach to website migrations.
You are thinking: “Website Migrations are too hard for me.”
