Switching website provider is more sensitive when a dealer has multiple locations. There are more pages, more stock paths and more branch details to protect.
What to audit before switching
- Existing branch URLs.
- Stock and vehicle URLs.
- Domain and DNS records.
- Feed URLs.
- Location content.
- Contact forms and email routing.
Protect SEO signals
Important branch and stock pages should either keep their URLs or redirect cleanly. A fresh sitemap should be submitted after launch.
Check feeds before going live
If marketplaces or partners use feed URLs, make sure the new feed is ready before the old one is switched off.
