Accepted Answer

Yes. We can work as a discrete extension of an agency team, supporting specialist website and digital projects while protecting the relationship the agency has with its client.

Question 8

Will an ecommerce migration affect my Google rankings?

Accepted Answer

A migration can affect rankings if URLs, content and technical signals are changed without a plan. We map old URLs to their new homes, check the important pages before launch and monitor the site after cutover so problems can be found and corrected quickly.

Question 9

What happens to customer accounts and order history during a migration?

Accepted Answer

The exact data depends on the existing platform and how it has been configured. We audit products, customers, orders and account requirements first, then agree what will move, how it will be checked and what must remain accessible after launch.

Question 10

How long will an ecommerce site be down during migration?

Accepted Answer

Most of the build and data preparation happens away from the live store. The final changeover is planned for a defined window, with checks and a rollback plan. The aim is to keep disruption short and controlled rather than leaving the business with an open-ended outage.
