Key landing page review We need to check whether the new version has weakened important landing pages compared with the old version, including: * titles * H1s * content * FAQs * internal links * canonicals * schema * sitemap inclusion * mobile rendering 6. Recovery action plan We need a clear priority list showing: * what is urgent * what is causing the biggest traffic loss * what developers need to fix * which URLs need redirects * which URLs need noindex * which URLs should be removed from the sitemap * which pages need improvement Tools/skills required: * Google Search Console * Screaming Frog * GA4 * Ahrefs / SEMrush preferred * Website migration experience * JavaScript website experience * [login to view URL] experience preferred * Large directory/marketplace website experience preferred Deliverables: 1.

Hello, I’d be glad to help review your migration issues and pinpoint what caused the sudden drops after launching the new version. I’ve worked on several platform shifts across large directory-style sites, focusing on redirects, indexing, canonicals, and GSC behaviour. I’d run a clean technical audit comparing both versions, map out redirect gaps, and analyse indexing and crawl waste to restore visibility. My approach stays fully technical with no backlink packages, just clear findings and an action plan. Thanks, Teo

The significant traffic drop following your website migration likely stems from unresolved redirect chains or crawl waste affecting indexability. A comprehensive migration audit is essential to identify these issues. Using Google Search Console and Screaming Frog, I will compare old and new URLs to pinpoint missing redirects, crawling inefficiencies, and indexing obstacles. Within 10 days, I can deliver a detailed audit, an old-to-new URL mapping, and an actionable recovery plan prioritized by urgency and impact. Should I send over a brief outline of how I'd tackle this?
