A step-by-step guide to verifying and preserving SEO after migrating a WordPress site to a new domain. Covers building a pre-migration keyword baseline using Google Search Console or AIOSEO, migrating with Duplicator, setting up 301 redirects via AIOSEO's Full Site Redirect tool, registering the new domain in Google Search Console with a change-of-address notification, verifying canonical URLs, fixing database URLs and mixed content errors, and monitoring ranking recovery with AIOSEO Search Statistics and MonsterInsights. Includes a week-by-week recovery timeline (expect 30–70% traffic drop in week 1, 80–100% recovery within 4–8 weeks with clean redirects) and answers to common post-migration questions.
