SEO Migration for WordPress

An SEO migration is not 'export to HTML and pray.' It's a controlled move of every ranking signal onto a faster stack. That's the job.

Quick answer

WordPressEscape is a productized SEO migration: WordPress is deleted, rankings are the constraint, Mini starts at $199.

What 'SEO migration' means

You're not migrating a theme. You're migrating Google's understanding of your site: URLs, snippets, rich results, links. Break those and 'the new site' is a new site to Google — even on the same domain.

WordPress-specific traps

Yoast lives in the database. Page builders hide content from some crawlers. /wp-content/ paths leak after amateur exports. Our scan flags leftover WordPress fingerprints and missing schema so they don't ship.

The done-for-you version

We migrate, run the SEO engine (JSON-LD, FAQs, breadcrumbs, OG), import menus and 301s, and give you ESC'dashboard. You don't run a plugin export. See best practices.

Start with the grade

If SEO is an F, the audit lists why — then the migration is the fix, not another plugin.
