Will I lose my Google rankings if I redesign my website?

No, not if the migration is handled correctly. In fact, a redesign often improves rankings by fixing technical errors and improving page speed.

However, the risk exists if URLs change without a plan. At DCOED, we mitigate this by creating a comprehensive 301 redirect map before launch. This ensures that any old page (e.g., /old-service-page) automatically forwards users and Google to the new equivalent. We also transfer all meta data and submit a new sitemap to Google Search Console immediately upon launch to preserve your hard-earned SEO authority.
