Hi, can I migrate my site (Get Brasil) to Shopify without affecting its SEO?
Hi @martusmartins32 ,
Each platform has a unique structure and a different rule of URL texture, especially between an open-source cart (WP) and a hosted-source cart (Shopify).
WP doesn’t have fields to enter SEO URLs by default, so you need a specific plugin for SEO migration and put effort into it. Contrast, Shopify almost handles it for you with built-in SEO. So this is a complex migration that requires high technical skills. One important point is that the sites’ XML sitemaps and all URLs should be similar, and no changes should be made to the hosting which can affect the SEO performance.
Your can contact professional developers to work on this and charges for hiring personal developers or agencies. The maintained URLs will help keep the SEO ranking that you have built up for years. Take a quick look:
- Setup the migration: establish a connection between two carts (Uploading a connector to root folders of each cart) and enable the data exchange process (Configuring the migration)
- Select what you want to migrate (Entities) and choose the “Migrate categories and products SEO URLs”
- Start the migration and wait.
- Check the results by copying the URLs and paste it to the new store
It is an additional option included in the automated migration service that can optimize your cost and satisfy the need for expert assistance.
