WordPress SEO Migration – 301 Redirects & Old URL Mapping
Only freelancers located in the U.S. may apply.U.S. located freelancers only
I own a long-established local demolition company website, DenglerDemolition.com. I am currently rebuilding the website in WordPress on Hostinger. The domain name will stay registered at GoDaddy. I am NOT looking for someone to redesign or rebuild the website. I need a qualified freelancer to handle the technical SEO migration from my old website to the new WordPress website so that I don’t lose existing search-engine value, indexed pages, or backlinks. What I need you to do: 1. Crawl my existing website at DenglerDemolition.com before the DNS is changed. 2. Create a complete list of the existing/old URLs. 3. Identify important URLs that have backlinks or search-engine value. 4. Compare the old URLs with the new WordPress website. 5. Create an Old URL → New URL 301 Redirect Map. 6. Keep existing URLs unchanged on the new site whenever practical. 7. Install the necessary 301 redirects on the new Hostinger/WordPress website. 8. Check for 404 errors, redirect loops and redirect chains. 9. Check internal links and make sure they aren’t pointing to dead old URLs. 10. Check the XML sitemap and robots.txt. 11. Help verify Google Search Console after the migration. 12. Test the old URLs after the DNS change to make sure the redirects work properly. Important: I am NOT asking you to migrate the old website design. The new WordPress website is being built separately. I only need the technical SEO/URL migration and 301 redirect work. The old website is an older custom website, not WordPress, and the new site is WordPress hosted at Hostinger. The domain will remain registered at GoDaddy. Final deliverable I want an Excel/CSV spreadsheet showing: OLD URL | NEW URL | 301 REQUIRED | PRIORITY | BACKLINKS | STATUS | NOTES I already have a preliminary spreadsheet with some old pages and locations that may be useful as a starting point. Experience I’m looking for Please apply only if you have experience with: -Technical SEO -Website migrations -301 redirects -WordPress -Custom/HTML/PHP websites -Preserving SEO during a hosting/platform change -Google Search Console -Budget I have a very limited budget and am looking for a small, one-time fixed-price project, not an ongoing SEO contract. Target budget: $100–$200, depending on the number of URLs that need to be handled. Please tell me your total fixed price in your proposal. Remote is welcomed. Before I hire you, please answer these 4 questions: 1. Have you personally handled a migration from an older custom/HTML/PHP website to WordPress? 2. How would you crawl the old site and find all of its URLs? 3. How will you determine which old URLs are important because of backlinks or search traffic? 4. Will you personally implement and test the 301 redirects on the new Hostinger WordPress site? Please do not send me a proposal for monthly SEO, link building, content writing, Google Ads, or a complete website redesign. I only need this one-time technical migration.
