Moving to LimeOriginIntermediate6 min readUpdated 2026-08-01

Move from WordPress, Wix, Squarespace or Shopify

Switching platforms feels risky — nobody wants to lose their Google rankings. The Origin Migration Engine brings your content across and sets up redirects, so the move protects what you've built.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Run a readiness assessment

    Point LimeOrigin at your current site for a free assessment: how many pages, posts, images and forms you have, your SEO coverage and a redirect plan — real counts, not guesses.

  2. 2

    Import as drafts

    Import your content. Pages become native sections, posts keep their original dates, and images come across with their alt text. Everything arrives as drafts you review.

  3. 3

    Keep your rankings

    LimeOrigin creates permanent redirects from your old URLs to the new ones — exactly what search engines expect — so your rankings carry over.

  4. 4

    Review, then publish

    Check the imported pages, tidy anything that needs it, and publish. If something isn't right, you can roll the import back precisely.

Best practices

  • Run the readiness assessment first so you know exactly what will move.
  • Keep your old site up until the new one is verified and redirects are live.
  • Spot-check your most important pages after import before publishing.

Common mistakes

  • Turning off the old site too early, before redirects are in place.
  • Publishing without reviewing — imported content is a starting point, not the finish.
