Media Strategy Lab

Switching SEO agency

Change agencies without losing what you paid for.

Many small businesses sign bundled website, SEO and ads packages and later find they do not own the site, cannot see the ad account or cannot tell what the fee buys. Switching is possible, but done carelessly it can break pages, lose call tracking and drop rankings. We help you collect ownership, move the site safely with redirects, keep your reviews and history, and then report on enquiries in plain language.

Who it's for: Law firms, clinics, contractors and home service businesses leaving an existing agency or bundled marketing platform.

Sound familiar?

  • Your contract renews and you still cannot see what is working.
  • The agency built the website and you are not sure you own it.
  • You are afraid leaving will wipe out your Google rankings.

How we help you

Ownership checklist

Domain registrar, hosting, website files, Google Business Profile, Search Console, analytics, Google Ads and Meta ad accounts, and call tracking numbers.

Safe migration

We map every live URL, keep or redirect each one, and check indexing after launch so rankings have the best chance to hold.

Keep your phone numbers

Plan how tracking numbers are ported or replaced so old listings keep ringing your business.

Practical planning example

A switch that protects rankings

Illustrative plan, not client results: before the old contract ends, the domain moves to your registrar, every indexed URL is crawled and redirected, and Search Console is checked weekly for a month.

  • Domain in your name
  • All indexed URLs mapped
  • Business Profile owner confirmed
  • Tracking numbers planned

Questions

Will I lose my rankings if I switch agency?

Not necessarily. Rankings are tied to your domain, content and reputation. Risk comes from deleting pages or changing URLs without redirects, which a careful migration avoids. No one can guarantee rankings will not move.

What if my old agency owns my website?

Check your contract. Some packages license the site rather than transfer it. We can rebuild the pages you need on a site you own and redirect old URLs.

Do you badmouth other agencies?

No. Many agencies do good work. This page is about protecting your business when you decide to change.

When should I give notice?

After you have confirmed access to your domain, Business Profile and ad accounts, and in line with your contract terms.
