Hello,
We apologize for the concerns you have regarding the migration of your website to WordPress and the potential SEO impacts.
When moving from a custom-coded site to WordPress, it’s essential to ensure that your existing SEO structure is maintained. Here are some key points to consider for a smooth transition:
- 301 Redirects: Make sure to set up 301 redirects from your old URLs to the new ones on WordPress. This helps preserve your existing rankings and traffic.
- Content Migration: Ensure that all your content is migrated correctly without any loss. This includes text, images, and metadata.
- SEO Settings: After migrating, use Rank Math to configure your SEO settings properly. Rank Math has a built-in feature to help you optimize your content and manage SEO settings effectively.
- Schema Markup: If you were using schema markup on your custom site, ensure that it is replicated in WordPress using Rank Math.
- Performance Monitoring: After migration, monitor your website’s performance and rankings closely to address any issues promptly.
Regarding Rank Math Pro, while I don’t have the current pricing details, Rank Math Pro is known for its advanced features that can significantly enhance your SEO efforts, especially after migration. It offers tools for optimizing content, tracking keywords, and managing schema markup, which can be very beneficial for maintaining or boosting your SEO.
For more detailed information about Rank Math and its features, you can visit the Rank Math website.
