Search & Rescue · Website redesignWebsite redesign in Lake County, IL. Keep the rankings you’ve earned.
We rebuild a slow or dated site and forward every old page to its new address, so Google keeps sending you the people it already sends. Search & Rescue is $500 on top of a build, and free inside Second Alarm.
See the new one before you pay anything: a free homepage mockup within 3 days.
Example redesign for a made-up roofer.
A new site with new addresses looks like a stranger to Google.
Google’s own guide to moving a site recommends permanent redirects from every old address to its new one, and warns that visibility in Search can move around for a while during the change. Most lost rankings come from skipping that step.
Old pages turn into 404s
Google and anyone with a bookmark hit “page not found” instead of your services.
The words Google ranked are gone
A slick new page that drops the services and towns you used to rank for has nothing to rank for.
The domain changes for no reason
Moving to a new address throws away years of history. We keep your domain.
Nobody checks after launch
Without a before-and-after in Search Console, a drop goes unnoticed until the phone gets quiet.
Source: Google Search Central, “Site Moves and Migrations” (updated August 20, 2026), which also says a small to medium-sized site can take a few weeks for most pages to move.
Every old page finds its way home.
Every page that matters, listed
We pull every address Google knows from your old site, plus the ones that get visits, so nothing gets left behind.
Old to new, mapped
Each old page gets a new home on the rebuilt site: the same service, the same town, the same words people searched.
Permanent redirects
Every old address forwards to its new page with a permanent redirect, the way Google recommends. Nothing 404s.
Your domain stays
We don’t move your domain, and you keep your search history.
A before-and-after baseline
On Second Alarm, Search Console is set up with a baseline before launch, so you can see your rankings held.
A site that’s actually faster
Hand-built pages that load fast on a phone, with tap-to-call where a thumb lands.
A new site at a flat price, plus the rescue.
Every build splits 50/50: half to start, half at launch. You see a free mockup first.
