Redesign and migration

Accounting website migration, without losing search rankings built up over time

Accounting website migration is done with redirects from every old URL to its new equivalent, which is what protects search rankings a firm has already earned rather than starting over on a new domain.

Who it is for

Is this the right service for your firm?

Firms whose current site has years of search history, published articles and inbound links that must survive a move to a faster platform.

Signs the firm needs it

  • The firm is afraid a new site will cost it the rankings it has.
  • Old articles still bring in visits and must not disappear.
  • Other sites link to specific pages the firm cannot afford to break.
  • The current platform is slow, insecure or unsupported.
01

What gets carried forward

During onboarding, the current site is reviewed page by page. Practice area content, partner bios and previously published articles that are still accurate are migrated and rewritten into the new structure rather than discarded; anything outdated, such as a service the firm no longer offers, is retired deliberately rather than carried forward by accident.

02

Redirects, not broken links

Every URL on the current site that has value, whether from search rankings or from links other sites point to it, gets a redirect to its new location. A visitor or search engine following an old link lands on the right page rather than a dead end.

03

One cutover, minimal disruption

The new site is built and reviewed before the domain is switched, so the live migration itself is a single cutover rather than a gradual, error-prone transition. The firm approves the new site before it goes live, and the old site's content stops being needed the moment the new one is confirmed working.

How the work is done

What happens, step by step?

01

Onboarding form and call

About 15 minutes on the form, then one call to confirm the practice areas, partners, offices and goals behind accounting website migration.

Week one

02

Built and reviewed on screen

The site is built to the agreed structure and reviewed with the firm before launch: live in 7, 10 or 15 days depending on plan.

7 to 15 days

03

Launch, redirects and approval

The site goes live on the firm's domain with redirects from any old URLs. The build fee is invoiced only once the firm confirms it is satisfied.

$797, after approval

04

Managed every week

Weekly updates, 5 revisions a month within 2 to 5 working days, and researched articles on a fixed schedule.

For as long as the plan runs

What is not included

  • Accounting, tax, audit or financial advice of any kind, on the site or through the AI Engine.
  • Inventing credentials, years in practice, client numbers, results or reviews.
  • Paid ad management, PR or brand strategy (those belong with an agency if the firm wants them).
  • Hourly billing: extra revisions are a flat fee, never time-based.
  • A promise of a specific ranking position, traffic figure or cost per click.

Cost and timeline

What does accounting website migration cost, and how long does it take?

It is priced as part of a monthly plan, not as a project. The plan decides the launch time and what is added on top of the site: the AI Engine on Partnership, the Content Engine on Multi-Partner. What drives the choice is how many channels the firm wants covered, not how many pages it needs.

Scope accounting website migration for your firm

In their words

What firms say about accounting website migration

My first check was simple: open the advisory consultations page on a phone and try to get in touch. Everything a visitor needs is up top, and the inquiry button stands out properly. It is far more practical than the old page when we share it with a caller.
Jason TalbotAssociate partner, Transformation advisory consultancyManchester, New Hampshire

Mobile navigation and page layout for advisory consultations

The review of our advisory consultations pages was uncomfortable reading, in a useful way. Consolidation came with a checklist, so a change in one place is checked everywhere it matters. Updates stopped being a treasure hunt.
Lucy HollyoakHead of client services, Procurement advisory consultancyPlano, Texas

Content audit and update process for advisory consultations

Everyone talks about the new design; I cared more about where the old advisory consultations links would land. Every legacy address was cataloged, mapped and tested before go-live. The relaunch felt safe rather than hopeful.

Risk, reversed

What do we promise, and on what terms?

Seven commitments a firm can hold us to, each with its condition written beside it rather than in a footnote.

No build fee until you approve the live site

The $797 one-time build fee is not charged at sign-up. It is invoiced only after the site is live and the firm has confirmed it is satisfied with it.

Cancel before the build starts and no build fee is charged. Cancel mid-build and only the work completed may be invoiced.

90+ PageSpeed, guaranteed

Every page we build and host is guaranteed at 90+ Google PageSpeed on mobile and desktop. If a page falls below it because of our work, we fix it at no charge.

Excludes changes made by the firm or third parties. The remedy is the fix, not a refund.

Local search visibility, or we keep working

We guarantee the site starts ranking for local searches in the firm's area within 3 to 5 months of launch. If it has not, we continue the search work at no additional charge until it does.

Covers the firm's own area and services only. The remedy is the continued work, not a refund.

No fixed contract term

Cancel by email with the notice period in the terms and the site runs to the end of the paid month. No exit fee, no minimum term, and an export of the firm's content and articles within 14 days.

Notice must reach us at least 2 business days before the next invoice date.

The domain is the firm's

The included domain is registered in the firm's name and transferred at no charge if the firm leaves.

The firm tells us where to send it.

Revisions without hourly billing

5 revisions a month are included, each completed within 2 to 5 working days. Beyond that, each is a flat $20.

Unused revisions do not roll over.

Nothing invented about the firm

No credential, license, year count, client number or review is ever published unless the firm supplied it.

Applies to every page, article and bio.

Questions about accounting website migration

01Will migrating cause us to lose our current search rankings?

The redirect mapping and improved site structure are built specifically to protect existing rankings. We never guarantee a specific outcome, since ranking depends on factors beyond the website, but protecting what is already earned is the explicit goal of the migration process.

02What platform are we migrating from, and does it matter?

It does not need to be a particular platform. Whether the current site runs on a page builder, an older custom build, or something else, the review and migration process is the same: assess what exists, decide what carries forward, and redirect the rest.

03How long does a migration take compared to a new build?

The launch timeline is the same as a new build, 7, 10 or 15 days depending on plan, since the additional migration work happens during the same onboarding and build window.

04Do we need to keep the old hosting running during the transition?

Only until the new site is confirmed live and working; after that, the old hosting can be cancelled, since the domain now points to the new, managed site.

05Do you move our old blog posts?

Posts worth keeping are carried over and their old URLs redirected. Posts that are out of date are either refreshed or redirected to the closest relevant page, with the firm's agreement.

06What about our email when we move the website?

We change only the records the website needs. Email records are left alone, and we check them before and after the switch.

07Is migration included in the price?

Yes. Migration and redirects are part of the build on every plan, covered by the $797 build fee invoiced after launch.

08Can we migrate in stages?

The new site launches complete, but content from the old site can continue to be brought across afterwards as revisions if the firm wants to review older material first.
