Migration FAQs
Common questions about our migration process
Will my site experience any downtime during migration?
No! Your current site stays live and operational throughout the entire migration process. We only switch DNS after you've reviewed and approved everything on the new platform. If there are any issues, we can instantly roll back to your old site.
What if I have custom plugins or functionality?
We analyze your custom plugins and functionality before migration. Most features can be replicated using our platform's capabilities or our API. For unique custom functionality, our development team can build equivalent features or integrate with your existing systems.
Most migrations take only a few hours. The automated import process is fast, and you can review and go live the same day.
Will my SEO rankings be affected?
No - we implement proper 301 redirects for all URLs, preserve your meta tags and structured data, and maintain your sitemap structure. Faster page load times (a key ranking factor) should help improve your SEO performance over time.
What happens to my existing WordPress site?
Your WordPress site stays completely intact and live during migration. We recommend keeping it as a backup for 30-90 days after switching. We provide a complete backup of your old site that you can keep permanently.
Can I migrate from platforms other than WordPress?
Yes! Our platform accepts data from any source that can export CSV files or provide API access. We support WordPress exports, custom databases (via CSV), spreadsheets, or even manual entry. Our AI can help clean and enrich data from any format.
No problem! Our migration tools are built to handle directories with 100,000+ listings. Larger migrations may take 24-48 hours for data import, but the process is fully automated.
Yes! Our automated migration tools handle the heavy lifting for you. We also provide comprehensive documentation and support if you run into any issues.
