      About 2 weeks ago we have switched our website and our blog to Wordpress (our website was about 400 pages) our blog was originally on Sgopify website (the blog was about 800 pages).

      One of the reasons we transferred all the blogs from our account on Shopify to our domain is because we were told that this will help our ranking.

      We switched everything in the last 2 weeks to Wordpress under the same domain name.

      The only thing that was changed are the URLs. We also did a 301 redirect however the dilemma we have now is not ranking at all although before the transfer we were ranking 1st or 2nd for certain keywords on organic search.

      Does anyone know why is this happening?

      Thank you

        Did you do a 301 one from one page to its new location or a generic 301?

        If you did not redirect page by page you will def see ranking loss.  If that is the case get in there and write the rules that handle each page itself.

        If you did redirect each URL to its new location give it some more time AFTER crawling fully and doing a tech audit.

          we did 301 page by page.

          can you think of anything else?

            Can I ask why you chose to change the URLs?

            If everything else is still the same, I'd image that you should see your results come back. I'm sure you had a process in place for handling changing all of the internal links? I wonder about this since you have so many pages and now the URLs are different.

            • I have a Wordpress site that ranks well and a blog (uses blogger) with slightly different URL/domain that also ranks decently. Should I combine the 2 under the website domain or keep both?
