Eliminating Technical Errors
An extensive, multi-stage technical analysis of the paryskie-perfumy.pl site revealed that its primary issue was an overly complex website structure. It included URLs of low user value with duplicated content. The errors affected the most critical areas of the store – categories and product pages. It was also user-unfriendly, resulting in an unsatisfactory conversion rate.
Increasing Efficiency
Migration isn’t always about revolution! At every stage, we review previously done work. This was no different for the paryskie-perfumy.pl site, which had well-written, substantive content. Unfortunately, it wasn’t optimized effectively, rendering its effectiveness minimal. This applied to category content, product pages, and blog articles.
Development
At every stage of the migration process, it’s essential to consider the client’s business plans and specifics. For Paryskie Perfumy, this certainly means systematically increasing the store’s assortment and covering as many key phrases from the lower sales funnel stages as possible. Thus, we needed to prepare the site technically to enable website growth at relatively low costs.
Implementation
The most critical point of the migration process is the task implementation phase. Good project management on both sides allowed for timely strategy adjustments, and active involvement in the process yielded tangible benefits. Ultimately, our actions included:
Technical Solutions:
- 01. Conducted a comprehensive keyword analysis, which helped us organize the site structure, improving navigation for both users and search engine bots.
- 02. Recommended a list of URL redirects, considering the intent of each page and effective transfer of the power of previously acquired external links.
- 03. Verified server logs to identify irregularities, particularly important in the context of HTTP 500 errors. This allowed us to locate and eliminate the sources of such errors.
- 04. Configured canonical tags to avoid content duplication issues and improved the indexing process for pages based on query parameters.
- 05. Implemented internal linking based on thematic clusters.
We established the actions and their sequence based on both our schedule and the implementation schedule of the corrections. Close collaboration with the client translated into the visible effects mentioned above.
Content Solutions:
- 01. Optimized previously prepared blog articles and implemented a thematic silo concept for the blog..
- 02. Created unique and substantive category descriptions that matched the site’s expanded structure..
- 03. Ensured engaging meta-data preparation, improving phrase positions and increasing the Click-Through Rate (CTR)..
- 04. Implemented navigation-friendly solutions within the blog, supporting positioning, including a table of contents, related article module, cross-selling module, and tags.

Recipe for Success: Strategy, Collaboration, Process
Fear of the migration process is understandable! However, it doesn’t mean we should avoid it like the plague. Often, migration opens doors for website development, offering a fresh start and an opportunity to multiply profits. To achieve this, we must understand that migration involves strategy, cooperation, and process.
Strategy
The website migration strategy should align with the business strategy and development plans. Migration is a means to a clearly defined end, so a holistic view of the site is crucial. All elements should be coherent and complementary to avoid future costs associated with site redevelopment.
Collaboration
Success is impossible without collaboration. Specialists are SEO experts, but the client is the expert in their industry. Mutual trust, a partnership approach, regular status meetings, and transparent communication are key. Understanding each other’s needs and limitations, such as in the technical sphere, is essential. We wish every SEO professional a partner like the Paryskie Perfumy team!
Process
Website migration is more than just a sequence of technical actions. It’s a dynamic process requiring flexibility, readiness for continuous improvement, and response to unforeseen challenges. Quick adaptation and the introduction of necessary changes, even after the main stages, are crucial.
