Will a redesign lose my rankings?
Not if redirects are mapped properly. We list every existing URL, point each one to its closest new page with a 301 redirect, keep the page titles that already rank, and watch Search Console for four weeks after launch. Rankings normally recover inside ten days.
Redesign is a large share of our work. The typical case: a site built years ago, fine at the time, now failing Google’s mobile check and taking several seconds to open. The owner is often nervous, because a previous redesign elsewhere in their experience — or one they’ve heard about from another business — meant enquiries stopped for months afterward.
That’s a fair worry. It happens when someone rebuilds on a fresh URL structure and never redirects the old pages. Google finds broken links, the trust built over years drains out, and the site starts from zero. The fix isn’t complicated — it just has to be done before launch, not after the panic.
What a redesign includes
- Full URL inventory and a 301 redirect map, signed off before we touch anything
- Existing content audited — pages that rank get kept and improved, not deleted
- Mobile-first rebuild with images converted to WebP and lazy-loaded
- Schema markup added (most older local sites have none at all)
- Search Console monitoring for four weeks post-launch, included
Questions
How long does a redesign take?
2–5 weeks depending on scope — a straightforward 5–8 page rebuild is faster than one with locality pages and local SEO folded in.
Will my email/contact forms be tested?
Yes — broken forms are one of the most common things we find during a redesign audit, and every one gets tested before launch.
Do you keep my existing content?
Content is audited first — anything ranking or genuinely useful gets kept and improved, not deleted for the sake of a fresh look.
What if my old site has no schema markup at all?
Very common — schema is added as standard during any redesign, since most older Jabalpur-area sites were built before this was routine practice.
