Tips for website redesigning without losing SEO:

A. Run a website audit: Before starting an audit, one must be aware of current keyword rankings and individual pages associated with them.  Keeping crawl data from the old site through screaming frog or other tools.  Still, if some data is lost then go for Wayback engine to analyze old structure and content. Another important aspect here is on-page optimization (i.e. meta title & description, image alt tags, and headers)  along with dynamic content and suitable redirections (301 & 302 redirects) for sustaining changes in permalink structure, but remember to restrict these since a higher number for 302redirections can actually damage your SEO.

B. Maintain page structure: Maintaining the current website structure should be your primary motto while adding a new page. It’s necessary to focus on providing a good user experience but try to stay with parent page solutions rather than ditching it unnecessarily. Get your sitemap update and submit it to search engines without any delay. Also, have an audit for website internal linking and backlinks to make an account of broken ones due to URL restructuring (if done).  If any of the created links found dead because of new URL structure, contact the websites to update those links or use a 301 permanent redirection. Lastly, preserve the data (video & images) from the old website and get it transferred to the new one with the same metadata to prevent loss of rankings.

C. Use webmasters tool: Google search console (popular as webmasters in SEO) is a great asset in terms of a website’s technical analysis; 301 & 404-page errors to ensure all essential tasks have been performed correctly. You can also have analytic data for other important aspects including a number of click on a page, CTR (click-through rate) and position in search engine pages.  Having some fluctuations in keyword rankings can be expected with website redesigning, better to keep a spreadsheet to record changes in the position of your keywords on a weekly or monthly basis (as suitable).

 D. Perform technical audits regularly: Keep on doing a technical audit for your website on a regular basis with tools like Moz or Ahrefs for insights on technical issues.  Also, consider Google’s page insight to check your website’s compatibility as a responsive interface and page speed. Don’t forget about schema markup also.
