What is a SEO Migration?

An SEO migration is the process of transferring search engine ranking, authority and indexing signals to reflect a major change in your website or website URL structure. An SEO migration ensures that you do not lose any of your search engine visibility (rankings and traffic) when conducting a website migration.
