Ecommerce Migration in Birmingham
Moving a Birmingham store from one platform to another. Migrations lose traffic when URLs change without redirects, and the loss is usually discovered weeks later once rankings have already fallen — which is why the redirect map is the part of the project that most deserves attention.
Why this comes up
The problem
The current platform is limiting or expensive, and previous migration attempts elsewhere have been described as losing months of search visibility.
What you get
What we deliver
- A complete URL map from the old store, including pages nobody remembers
- Redirects for every changed URL, tested before launch rather than after
- Products, variants, customers and order history migrated and reconciled
- Reviews and user content preserved, since these are hard to recreate
- Search Console monitored closely after launch, when problems are still fixable
- A rollback position, because cutover is otherwise irreversible

Working in Birmingham
West Midlands
Birmingham is the UK's second city and its business base is broad rather than specialised, so projects here range from single-site hospitality systems to multi-region platforms for professional services firms.
Briefs range widely, but the recurring themes are multi-site operations needing one system instead of five, and professional services firms replacing spreadsheets with something auditable.

Ecommerce Migration in Birmingham — common questions
- Why do migrations lose traffic?
- Missing redirects, almost always. New platforms structure URLs differently, and every old URL without a redirect loses whatever ranking and links it had. Crawling the old site to capture every URL — including ones nobody knew existed — is the essential first step.
- What is most often forgotten?
- Product reviews, customer accounts and order history. Reviews carry real conversion value and cannot be recreated; customers who cannot see past orders or log in with existing credentials generate support volume and lose trust at exactly the wrong moment.
- How long before we know it worked?
- Days for technical problems, weeks for search impact. Watching Search Console for crawl errors and coverage changes in the first fortnight catches most issues while they are still cheap to fix, rather than discovering them when revenue drops.
- Should we redesign at the same time?
- Preferably not. Combining a platform migration with a redesign means any drop in performance has two possible causes and no way to separate them. Migrating first with the design largely intact makes problems diagnosable.
- Do you work with businesses across West Midlands?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout West Midlands, including Birmingham and the surrounding West Midlands area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Birmingham businesses do you usually work with?
- Briefs range widely, but the recurring themes are multi-site operations needing one system instead of five, and professional services firms replacing spreadsheets with something auditable. Beyond that we work across Professional Services, Manufacturing, Financial Services, Construction, Hospitality and Logistics.
- Do you cover the areas around Birmingham?
- Yes — we work throughout West Midlands, including Coventry, Wolverhampton, Derby, Leicester. Birmingham is an urban area of roughly 2,600,000+, and we take on work across the wider West Midlands region rather than the city boundary alone.
