Three paths. You pick.
Nothing torches an operator faster than a bad website migration. If you're ranking on page 1 for "[city] plumber" and the migration breaks your URLs, you lose 6-12 months of SEO equity in a weekend. We've engineered three paths so you only pay for the protection you actually need.
DNS Swap
You bought the domain, never built a site. Or you have a parked landing page from your registrar. Nothing to preserve, nothing to redirect — just stand it up.
- Cloudflare DNS pointed to Vercel
- 30-minute cutover
- SSL provisioned automatically
- You're live
DNS + Content Rescue
You have an old Wix / Squarespace / Weebly site that doesn't rank for anything but has years of business content (about page, service descriptions, photo gallery, customer testimonials) we can pull forward instead of making you rewrite it all.
- Extract your existing copy + photos
- Salvage anything worth keeping
- DNS swap to your new Siteshop site
- Old site goes dark cleanly
Rank-Safe Migration
Your current site shows up on page 1 of Google for at least one money keyword ("plumber near me", "[city] electrician", etc.). Cutting that wrong loses 6-12 months of SEO equity overnight. The $400 is insurance, not a profit center.
- Pre-crawl + ranking baseline
- URL-by-URL 301 redirect map
- Content + schema preservation
- Side-by-side staging URL for review
- Off-hours cutover (low-traffic window)
- 30-day rank monitor + rollback button
You always own your domain. Period.
Your domain account stays in your name at GoDaddy / Namecheap / wherever you bought it. We don't move it.
We manage DNS via Cloudflare. You can revoke our access in 5 minutes by changing your nameservers.
"Hostage-Free" isn't a slogan — it's a clause in every Siteshop contract. If you ever want to leave, the keys are yours instantly.
The questions operators actually ask.
How do I know which path I need?
Easiest answer — book a 15-minute discovery call and we'll pull your current rankings live. If you're showing up on page 1 of Google for any service search, you need Path 3. If your current site is just sitting there without ranking for anything that matters, Path 1 or 2 is enough. We don't upsell migration if you don't have rankings to protect.
What's the worst case on a Rank-Safe Migration?
Worst case: rankings dip 1-2 positions for a week, then recover. Compared to a bad migration: rankings vanish entirely for 3-6 months. The $400 is structurally insurance — pre-crawl baseline, 301 redirect map, content preservation, off-hours cutover, daily ranking monitor, and a rollback button if anything looks wrong in the first 30 days.
How long does the cutover itself take?
Cutover is 1-2 hours during a low-traffic window — typically 11 PM to 1 AM local time. Most operators don't notice. The 30-day monitor runs in the background. You don't need to do anything during or after.
Do I lose my old site?
Backed up before we touch anything. Restorable in 60 minutes if anything goes sideways. We never delete the old site until you've been live and stable for 30 days.
Can I switch paths if my situation changes?
Yes — and we re-quote at the difference. If you started on Path 1 thinking you had nothing to preserve, then we discover you actually rank for something that matters, we switch to Path 3 and bill the $400 difference. We don't hide upgrades behind a sales call.
Not sure which path you need?
Free site audit pulls your current rankings live and tells you exactly which migration path fits — before you pay a dollar.
