What's Inside
1. Before you migrate
Before touching anything, you need a clear picture of what you have. This section covers your content and SEO audit, URL inventory, Core Web Vitals benchmarking, and how to decide which pages to keep, merge, or remove entirely. Get this part right and the rest of the migration has a solid foundation to build on.
2. During the migration
Here we cover CMS collection setup, 301 redirect mapping, metadata and structured data configuration, staging environment setup, and how to handle DNS records without breaking your company email.
3. After the migration
Going live is not the finish line. This section walks through what to verify in Google Search Console, how to rebuild your GTM containers and GA4 events, what to monitor in the first 24 hours and first week, and how to confirm your redirects and performance are holding up.
4. Compliance
We cover cookie and consent banner setup, WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility requirements, GDPR data processing agreements, and how to carry over your legal pages correctly, including what EU and German-market sites specifically need to confirm before launch.
