Kihan Marketing handles the move, with old pages redirected and your domain, Google Business Profile and analytics kept in your name. By [Kiran Dasgupta](https://kihanmarketing.com/kiran/), Founder and Lead Strategist ## What does a property management website migration include? Every plan from Kihan Marketing includes the move, so it is part of the build and not an extra. - **A list of what earns traffic.** Every page that gets search traffic or links, written down before launch. - **Redirects.** Each of those pages keeps its address or redirects to the page that replaces it. - **Titles that work.** Carried over to the new site. - **A check after launch.** We look at Search Console once the new site is live. - **Your accounts.** Domain, Google Business Profile and analytics stay in your name. ## How do you keep rankings during a migration? A site can lose rankings when pages that rank vanish or change address without a redirect, so we keep the addresses that earn traffic where we can and redirect the ones that change. [Google's guide to site moves](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/site-move-with-url-changes) recommends permanent server-side redirects from old URLs to new ones. It also says rankings can move around for a while as Google recrawls the site. No rebuild can promise rankings, but a careful move avoids the avoidable losses. ## Which sites can you move from? AppFolio, Rentvine, PMW and template sites. Moving your website does not mean leaving your software: it keeps running your units, rents and applications, and the new site shows them. How that works on each platform is on our page on [property management software integrations](https://kihanmarketing.com/property-management-marketing/property-management-software-integrations/). ## A migration you can open [A Seattle property manager](https://kihanmarketing.com/projects/pacific-crest-real-estate/) came to us with the five-page site that came with AppFolio. We rebuilt it to more than 250 pages, with a page for every property it manages. What a rebuilt site should hold is on [property management website design](https://kihanmarketing.com/property-management-marketing/property-management-website-design/), and apartment communities are on [multifamily website design](https://kihanmarketing.com/multifamily-marketing/multifamily-website-design/). ## Questions about moving a property management website ### Will I lose my Google rankings if I change my website? You can, if pages that rank vanish or change address without a redirect. Each page that earns traffic should keep its address or redirect to the page that replaces it. Rankings can move around for a while as Google recrawls the site, and no rebuild can promise them. ### Do I have to leave AppFolio to move my website? No. AppFolio stays the system of record and the website is the part that changes. On WordPress, [AppFolio Listings Pro](https://kihanmarketing.com/property-management-marketing/appfolio-listings-pro/) draws your listings on your own pages. ### Do I keep my domain? Yes. Your domain, Google Business Profile and analytics stay in your name. ### How long does a migration take? A property management company site goes live 10 business days after your prep is in. A community site goes live in 5. ### How much does it cost? The move is included in every plan. A property management company site is $6,000 and a community site is $3,600, each paid in four monthly parts. The [full price list](https://kihanmarketing.com/pricing/#price-pm-web) compares every plan. ## Keep reading - [PM Website Design](https://kihanmarketing.com/property-management-marketing/property-management-website-design/): Template sites from AppFolio, RentCafe and ShowMojo, rebuilt with a page for every managed property. - [Multifamily Website Design](https://kihanmarketing.com/multifamily-marketing/multifamily-website-design/): One system underneath a live portfolio of community sites, with one identity per community. - [AppFolio Site Rebuilds](https://kihanmarketing.com/property-management-marketing/appfolio-property-management-websites/): Custom WordPress and Next.js sites for AppFolio managers, with a page for every property and AppFolio kept as the system of record. - [Live Availability Websites](https://kihanmarketing.com/multifamily-marketing/apartment-website-design-with-live-availability/): Apartment community websites that show open units, floor plans and pricing from your property management software.
