The service is no longer provided, but the old page has transitions. Before you change a website or launch a promotion, it is worth understanding the reason and assessing how it affects inquiries. Below are guidelines for the first inspection and a decision involving the contractor.

Check it out

Evaluate whether there is a close replacement; in the absence of an analogue, do not lead the person by deceptively redirecting to the main one. First of all, look at the pages that are related to sales. Record the current path of a person: from query and go to the site to contact with the company. This will make it clear where new content, interface refinement or technical fix is needed.

How to approach a solution

Before implementation, agree with the content owner responsible for the technique and method of verifying the result. This reduces the number of missed forms, broken links and outdated materials after launch. We will analyze the addresses according to scenarios and save useful transitions where the new sentence corresponds to the old one.

What to order in Post-Effect

We will discuss the task and agree on the composition of the service “Content Auditing and Migration.”. After the initial assessment, we will name priority work and prepare an estimate with a clear result of each stage. Describe the platform, the main sections and the task that needs to be solved first.
