SEO migration represents the set of technical activities to be carried out on a website being published in order to ensure the maintenance of the trust obtained over the years and of the incoming traffic from search engines.

Migrating a site is probably one of the most difficult, most delicate and unfortunately very often underestimated activities by those who work in the web world, and excellent technical skills are required to carry it out correctly and effectively.

The pages of websites present in the indexes of search engines acquire value over time, thanks to the content present in them and to any incoming links they receive. This value, attributed by the search engine algorithm, allows the page to obtain some visibility in the search results when people search for something in target with the page content.

Basically, for the page to acquire value and position itself, it must:

• Be optimized for search engines;
• Be read and analyzed by spiders.
