SEO migration · since 2020

Never miss a single URL to redirect again.

Swan crawls the old version of your website and the new one, matches each page with its replacement, lets you decide the doubtful cases, then checks the redirects before and after go-live. Without writing a single line of code.

Export: Apache (.htaccess), CSVTest the redirects

Four steps, from the first crawl to an approved go-live

The same order as your project: collect, match, test on staging, confirm in production.

Step 1

Old website analysis

  • Full crawl of the old version
  • Import of URLs from Search Console
  • Import of exports from your SEO tools or a CSV
  • Manual addition of forgotten addresses
Step 2

Automatic matching

  • Crawl of the test version of the new website
  • Three candidate pages per URL, with a similarity score
  • You decide the doubtful cases, one by one or in bulk
  • Abandoned pages marked as 410
Step 3

Testing on staging

  • Export of Apache rules (.htaccess) and of the plan as CSV
  • Check of every redirect on your staging
  • Destinations in error flagged
Step 4

Validation after go-live

  • A new check, this time in production
  • Dashboard and charts for your final report

An SEO migration in under ten minutes is possible.

Create a project, enter the old domain and the staging of the new one, and let Swan crawl. The first redirect plan arrives while you have your coffee; all that is left are the cases where a human decision matters.

The matching engine compares the content of pages, not just their addresses: a renamed product, a moved article or a merged category all find their destination.

Tired of failed website redesigns?

During a website redesign, you are probably afraid of losing traffic. Swan helps you avoid the main mistakes:

  • No web pages are redirected at all!
  • Redirects are badly done, or all point to the home page
  • URLs of important pages are forgotten
  • The redirect plan is not tested
  • The URLs connected to each other are not semantically close.

So that you never face this problem again, we created SWAN! A SaaS tool that lets you carry out your website migration almost automatically in a few clicks! Find the guide here!

Want a foretaste?
