A content migration plan for inventory, mapping, redirects, metadata and quality review.
A content migration plan for inventory, mapping, redirects, metadata and quality review.
Inventory before moving
List URLs, purpose, ownership, traffic, links and content condition. Decide what to retain, improve, combine, redirect or remove.
Map structure and fields
Old pages rarely fit the new model exactly. Define how headings, media, authors, dates and reusable information transfer.
Validate after launch
Check redirects, canonicals, images, internal links, structured data and sitemap output. Review important pages manually as well as automatically.
A practical next step
Turn the ideas in this guide into a short list of decisions, owners and evidence. Start with the customer or operational outcome, document the constraints and choose the smallest release that can prove useful value without compromising trust.
