How do you migrate WordPress to Next.js?

We extract all content (pages, posts, media, metadata) from WordPress, restructure it for Next.js (using MDX, a headless CMS, or a database), rebuild the frontend in React/Next.js with better performance and SEO, set up 301 redirects for every URL, and deploy to Vercel or your preferred hosting. The result is a dramatically faster site with the same content and better search rankings.

Will I lose my SEO rankings during migration?

Not if done correctly. We create a complete URL mapping, set up proper 301 redirects, preserve meta tags and structured data, submit updated sitemaps, and monitor Google Search Console post-migration. Most clients see rankings recover within 2–4 weeks and improve within 2–3 months thanks to better Core Web Vitals.
