The most critical aspect of any EKM migration project is the redirect map. All website URLs will change, since EKM links end in .asp, which is a largely redundant programming language for public facing websites. Therefore, a map must be created for every page, product, category, offer code, and other indexed content, to eliminate 404 errors and avoid losing search ranking position. We have extensive experience of delivering this type of redirect map, which helps minimise any SEO impact. There can be some short term adjustments within Google and the major search providers, as whilst the content doesn’t change during the migration, they still have to re-index the pages and products by using a bot to scan them.
