SEO MigrationChange your site without losing your rankings. We manage the SEO side of redesigns, platform moves and domain changes for businesses in Saudi Arabia — redirect maps, pre-launch checks and post-launch monitoring — so traffic survives the switch.
Most organic traffic loss happens during site changes, not algorithm updates. A redesign launches, URLs change without redirects, the new templates drop the H1s and internal links, and three months later someone notices traffic is down 40%. We see it constantly.
We run migration SEO for businesses in Saudi Arabia from our UK studio, working remotely alongside your developers and designers from planning through to post-launch. We own the SEO checklist so nothing gets missed in the rush to go live — including the local pitfalls generic checklists miss.
Saudi has one migration risk most agencies never think about: ZATCA e-invoicing. Replatforms regenerate invoice templates, and the QR codes, invoice URLs and download pages customers and accountants rely on can change or break overnight — a compliance headache dressed as an SEO problem. Add Mada and STC Pay checkout flows that must survive the move, Arabic RTL templates that need structural QA, and 15% VAT pricing schema that has to stay accurate. We benchmark everything before, map every URL, QA staging like Google would, then watch Search Console daily after launch.

ZATCA e-invoice templates break on replatforms. Saudi e-invoicing is mandatory, and your invoice PDFs, QR codes and customer-facing invoice URLs are generated by templates that get rebuilt during a platform move. When they change, customers cannot verify invoices and accountants start calling. We map invoice-related URLs and QA the regenerated templates on staging — this is a compliance risk most migration checklists miss entirely.
Mada and STC Pay integrations fail silently. The Kingdom's dominant payment methods need proper plugin configuration on the new platform. A misconfigured Mada gateway does not throw a visible error to you — it throws abandoned carts to your customers. We test the full payment flow, not just the redirect.
Arabic RTL structure gets lost in redesigns. Themes that demo beautifully in English ship Arabic pages with collapsed heading hierarchy, duplicated meta and broken hreflang. With most Saudi search happening in Arabic, that is not a cosmetic issue — it is a rankings issue. We QA the Arabic templates as the primary version.
Vision 2030 digitisation is accelerating rushed moves. Giga-project supply chains, tourism operators and retailers are replatforming at speed. The pattern is always the same: 15% VAT pricing schema dropped, Snapchat and TikTok landing URLs orphaned, category copy thinned. Benchmark first, migrate second.

SEO migration is managing the search-visibility risks of site changes: redesigns, platform moves, domain changes or HTTPS switches — keeping rankings and traffic intact through redirects, QA and monitoring.
Quoted per project in Saudi riyals (SAR), based on site size and complexity. Ecommerce replatforms with ZATCA and payment testing sit higher. Fixed fees are quoted upfront — it is far cheaper than recovering lost traffic afterwards.
Yes — invoice templates, QR codes and invoice download URLs are all regenerated during a platform move, and misconfiguration is common. We QA the e-invoice output on staging as part of every Saudi ecommerce migration, so the compliance side survives alongside the SEO.
At the planning stage — before designs are finalised. Retrofitting SEO onto finished designs is expensive and limited.
Yes. We run the full payment flow on staging — Mada, STC Pay, cards and cash on delivery — because payment failures after launch look like a traffic problem until someone actually tries to buy.
Yes — traffic recovery is a regular engagement. We diagnose what broke (usually redirects, templates, checkout integrations or content loss) and rebuild systematically.
