SEO migration map

A page-by-page plan for renewing geminiampm.co.uk on the AMPM group design system — without losing the search ranking earned to date. The renewed design is a re-skin within the existing WordPress install: every ranking URL stays exactly where it is, every title and meta description is preserved, and no redirect is needed for the pages that carry equity today.

01 — Strategy

Re-skin, don’t re-architect

A

URLs are frozen

Every live address — including the deep service children and sector pages — keeps its exact slug. The renewed templates render onto the same URLs. Nothing 404s, nothing needs a redirect.

B

Titles & meta preserved

Page titles, meta descriptions, OG/Twitter tags and canonical URLs carry over unchanged. Where copy is sharpened, the target keyword stays in the H1 and first paragraph.

C

Content depth retained

The seven pillars and their child pages remain as individual, indexable pages. Thin pages are strengthened, never deleted — pruning is what loses rankings.

D

Internal links rebuilt 1:1

The new navigation and in-body links point to the same destinations, preserving the internal link graph and crawl paths Google already understands.

E

Machine-readable layer kept

The existing llms.txt, llm-info, XML sitemap, robots directives and schema markup are retained and re-pointed at the renewed templates.

F

One controlled cutover

Staged on a preview, validated against this map, then published in a single switch — with Search Console and analytics watched for two weeks after.

02 — Inventory

Every page, mapped

Live URL on the left, the renewed template that replaces it, and the action. KEEP means the URL is unchanged — the overwhelming default. Every URL below was verified against the live site in June 2026 unless marked Confirm.

03 — WordPress build

Six templates cover the whole site

The renewed design is deliberately template-driven, so the existing WordPress page tree drops straight in — no page needs a bespoke build, and nothing has to move. Each live page type maps to one reusable template:

1

Service pillar

The 7 top-level service pages. Hero + child-service grid + “why now” + projects + sectors + CTA. WP: page template.

2

Child service

The ~40 deep service pages reuse the same pillar template (hero + scope + projects + CTA) minus the child grid. One template, not forty.

3

Sector

The 8 /sector/…/ landing pages. Hero + tailored scope + relevant services + CTA.

4

Article / news

Blog posts (at root) + the /news-overview/ index. Standard WP single + archive.

5

Case study

The /case-studies-category/…/ taxonomy — archive + single. Re-skin only; keep term URLs.

6

Standard page

Home, About, Why, Contact, Request-a-consultation, Certificates, legal. Bespoke or block-built.

Why this protects the SEO

Because the build is a theme/template re-skin inside the same WordPress install, the page IDs, slugs, permalinks, menu structure, Rank Math titles/meta and uploaded media all stay exactly as they are. You are restyling how pages look — not rebuilding the site tree. That is the single most important factor in not losing ranking.

04 — Redirects

Redirect register

One intentional redirect is required (the security-remedial page is being moved to its correct section); otherwise no redirects are needed, because no other URL changes. This register records that move plus the structural quirks to leave alone.

301 required — intentional move

· Security Remedial Works. Currently mis-filed on the live site at /passive-fire-systems/security-systems-remedial-works/. It belongs under Security, so the renewed site places it at /security-access-control/security-systems-remedial-works/. Add a permanent 301 from the old passive path to the new security path, and update any internal links. This consolidates it into the correct topical cluster and passes the existing ranking equity across.

Leave as-is — verified cross-listings

· /passive-fire-systems/fire-alarm-remedial-works/ sits under Passive Fire but is linked from the Fire Alarm menu. Keep the URL, keep both menu links.

· The header “Sectors” link historically pointed to cleanducts.co.uk/sectors/ (a legacy/group target). The renewed nav points “Sectors” at the on-site /sectors/ index. Confirm the desired destination before launch.

· If any thin child page is ever merged into its pillar, add a 301 from the old child slug to the pillar here — and only then.

Confirm against a full crawl before launch

· Registered vs trading address. Companies House lists 30–34 North Street, Hailsham BN27 1DW; recent material shows a Burgess Hill address. Confirm which is correct for LocalBusiness schema, the footer and Google Business Profile (NAP consistency matters for local SEO).

· Phone number. Confirm the canonical number(s) for NAP consistency.

· Extra disciplines referenced on live pages — dry risers, emergency lighting, water-leak detection, fire-escape condition reports, kitchen-extract cleaning — may exist as their own URLs. A Screaming Frog crawl will surface any page not in this map so it inherits the right template and keeps its slug.

· Brand/partner logos (security: Genetec, Paxton, Hikvision; plus fire-alarm manufacturers) appear on live service pages — carry these across.

05 — Cutover
