Leave WordPress without losing Google.
Five steps to get your addresses and titles onto the new site. It is a checklist, not a promise of a Google position.
The checklist
- List every addressCollect each address of the old site: from its sitemap, from Google Search Console and from a crawl of the site. Images and files count the same.
- Keep or 301 every addressIf an address stays the same, do nothing. If it changes, the old address sends a 301 to its new page, not to the home page.
- Keep titles and descriptionsThe new page keeps the title, the description, the main heading and the text of the old page, most of all on the pages that show up in Google. New text can come after launch, not with the move.
- Send a new sitemapMake a sitemap with the new addresses only and send it in Google Search Console. Remove the noindex tag from the new site, added while it was in progress.
- Check in Search ConsoleBefore launch, each old address must give a 301 to the right page, and the new page must answer 200. After launch, open the Pages report in Search Console and fix the 404 errors.
