PLATFORM MIGRATION • SEO PROTECTION
Migrate from Shopify to Magento or Adobe Commerce without losing the organic traffic and rankings you have built. We handle the SEO side — URL mapping, redirects, monitoring, and post-migration optimisation.

Complete URL mapping from Shopify's /products/ and /collections/ structure, redirect planning document, baseline traffic and ranking capture, backlink profile analysis, and content inventory before any migration work begins.
301 redirect implementation covering every indexed URL, URL structure preservation where possible, metadata transfer, image alt text migration, internal link remapping, and structured data continuity.
Daily ranking tracking for priority keywords, crawl error identification and resolution, Google Search Console index coverage monitoring, traffic comparison dashboards, and 90-day post-launch SEO health checks.
Post-migration Magento SEO setup — XML sitemaps, canonical rules, layered navigation configuration, structured data implementation, robots.txt, and full technical SEO baseline for your new Magento store.
Why Migrate?
Custom pricing, quote systems, multi-warehouse inventory, and buyer-specific catalogues that Shopify cannot handle natively.
Full server access, database control, custom checkout flows, and the ability to modify every aspect of the platform without app dependencies.
Run multiple storefronts, languages, and currencies from a single Magento backend — with shared inventory, customers, and order management.
When Shopify's Liquid templating and app ecosystem hits its limits. Magento's PHP architecture allows unlimited customisation without platform constraints.
FAQ
Some temporary ranking fluctuation is normal during any migration. With proper 301 redirect mapping, URL preservation, and metadata transfer, most sites recover within 2–8 weeks. The key is comprehensive redirect coverage — every indexed Shopify URL must resolve correctly on Magento.
The SEO side of migration typically takes 2–4 weeks of preparation (audit, URL mapping, redirect planning) and 4–8 weeks of post-launch monitoring. The full platform migration timeline depends on catalogue size, customisation requirements, and integration complexity.
The decision depends on your specific requirements. Shopify Plus is excellent for straightforward DTC ecommerce. Magento makes more sense when you need complex B2B functionality, multi-store from one backend, full server control, or custom checkout and pricing logic that Shopify cannot support.
Shopify apps do not migrate directly. Each app's functionality needs to be replicated through Magento extensions or custom development. We audit all active Shopify apps during pre-migration, identify SEO-relevant functionality (reviews, schema, redirects), and ensure equivalent capability exists on Magento before launch.
