Audit and inventory
Every URL, every integration, every custom feature that someone somewhere depends on. Half of a migration is discovering what the old platform was quietly doing.
- URL inventory
- Integration map
- Feature parity list
- Data audit
Service
Migrate to Shopify without losing rankings.
Replatforming from Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce or a bespoke build. The risk is rarely the code. It is URLs, historic order data and the integrations nobody documented, so we map all three before writing a line.
What’s included
Plan the cutover first.
SEO preservation
A redirect map built from your actual crawl and search data, not a guess. Metadata, structured data and internal links carried across deliberately.
- Redirect mapping
- Metadata transfer
- Structured data
- Crawl comparison
Data migration
Products, variants, customers, historic orders, reviews and subscriptions, checked for integrity rather than assumed to be fine.
- Products & variants
- Customers & orders
- Reviews
- Subscriptions
Phased cutover
A staging store your team can test against, a dry run, then a launch window chosen around your trading calendar rather than ours.
- Staging store
- Dry run
- Launch window
- 30-day watch
How it runs
The scary part is the fortnight after launch.
Anyone can stand up a new store. What matters is whether organic traffic holds in the four weeks that follow, and that is decided by work done long before launch day.
We baseline your Search Console figures before switchover so any movement is measurable rather than argued about.

FAQs
Questions worth asking.
Will we lose search rankings?
Not if the redirect map is built properly. The usual causes of a drop are unmapped URLs, lost metadata and a slower site, and all three are preventable. We baseline your Search Console data before launch so we can prove what happened either way.
How long does a migration take?
Twelve to twenty weeks for a typical replatform. Data volume matters less than integration count and how much undocumented custom behaviour the old platform is carrying.
Can you migrate historic orders?
Yes, and we usually recommend it. Customers expect their order history, and your support team will thank you. Very large order histories sometimes need a phased approach.
What about our current integrations?
We inventory every one, then decide case by case whether there is a Shopify app that does the job, whether it needs building, or whether it was never earning its keep in the first place.
Can we migrate in stages?
Sometimes. Multi-store or multi-market setups can go region by region. A single storefront is usually a single cutover, planned around your trading calendar.
