Migrate to Shopify Without Losing Your SEO, Your Data, or Three Months
Full product transfer. SEO preserved. Store live in 10–14 business days.
You've already made the decision. You're ready to migrate to Shopify from WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, Squarespace, Wix, or another platform. You just need someone to execute it cleanly — without losing your SEO, your product data, or three months of your time.
That's what we do.
What Can Go Wrong With a Migration
Most migration problems come from one of three places: missing redirects, broken product data, or a theme that looks fine but performs badly.
Missing Redirects
The most common and most expensive mistake. Every URL on your current store has search equity. When you move to Shopify without a complete 301 redirect map, Google treats your old URLs as gone and your new URLs as new. Rankings that took years to build disappear. Recovery takes months.
Broken Product Data
Less visible but equally costly. SKU mismatches, missing variants, stripped HTML from descriptions, images that reference the old domain. A fast migration that imports products without validating the data creates store problems that take longer to fix than the migration itself.
A Badly Chosen Theme
A migration is a fresh start. Starting on a theme with a 40-point PageSpeed score means fixing performance on day two instead of growing. We've seen all three of these problems on stores that came to us after a migration went wrong. The cost of fixing them is always higher than the cost of doing it right the first time.
Platforms We Migrate From
We know the data export quirks of each platform. WooCommerce product data is clean if the install was maintained — messy if it wasn't. Magento catalogs are complex and need careful redirect mapping. BigCommerce and Squarespace have their own export limitations. Knowing these platform-specific issues in advance is part of why our migrations go smoothly.
- WooCommerce products, customers, orders, posts-as-pages if applicable, redirect mapping
- Magento product catalog, customer data, order history, redirect mapping
- BigCommerce full product catalog, customer data, order history, redirect mapping
- Squarespace product and variant transfer, collection rebuild, redirect mapping
- Wix product data, customer records, 301 redirects
What the Migration Process Looks Like
Data audit and export.
We export and review your catalog before importing anything. We crawl your current URLs and build the full redirect map.
Build and import.
Theme configuration. Product import with full data validation. Collection structure rebuild. Apps, payments, and shipping setup.
Testing and launch.
Full store review. Checkout tested on mobile and desktop. Redirect map verified. Core Web Vitals checked. SEO structure reviewed. Then we go live.
Support period.
Your old store stays live throughout — no downtime window.
Lighthouse score on mobile post-launch. Zero ranking loss. All 47 high-traffic URLs redirecting cleanly.
Clara runs a home textiles brand. She'd been on WooCommerce for four years with around 1,200 products and solid rankings for several competitive keywords. She came to us after getting a quote from another provider: $800, "completed in 3 days."
We told her what that quote didn't include: the redirect mapping, the SEO audit, the data validation. A 1,200-product store with established rankings, done in 3 days at $800, would almost certainly lose most of those rankings within 60 days.
She chose our Complex Migration. We ran a pre-migration SEO audit, identified 47 high-traffic URLs that needed clean redirects, rebuilt the collection structure to match the Shopify URL format, and validated every product's data before the import.
The "cheap" option would have cost her far more in lost organic traffic than the price difference between the two quotes.
What Happens After the Migration
A Shopify migration is the start of your store's life on the platform, not the end of the work. Most clients follow up with a Store Health Audit at 30 days post-launch to validate the new store's performance, or a Speed Audit if speed was the primary reason for migrating.
After launch, most stores benefit from ongoing development as new needs emerge, CRO work as you see how real Shopify traffic behaves on the new store, speed monitoring as apps accumulate, and A/B testing to improve conversion from your existing traffic.
Our Shopify Growth Retainer is the natural next step. It covers ongoing development, speed monitoring, and monthly performance reporting.
