Will my blog posts and legal pages come with me?
The short answer
Yes. Your blog posts and legal pages, like a privacy policy, keep their exact words and their exact addresses, shown in your new design. Other pages aren’t copied. We build better ones from your business details.
Blog posts: same words, same addresses
Every blog post on your old site comes across exactly as written, at exactly the same address, shown in your new site's design. Google keeps finding each post where it always has, and so do the people who link to it.
We keep blog posts word for word because they're yours: your voice, your jobs, your opinions. They're also some of the pages most likely to have earned links from other websites, so their addresses matter.
Legal pages: same words, same addresses
Your privacy policy, terms and any other legal pages also come across word for word, at the same addresses. Legal wording shouldn't be rewritten by anyone but you or your lawyer.
Every other page is rebuilt, not copied
Your other pages, like services, about, towns and contact, aren't copied. Instead, your new site gets our pages for your trade, filled with your business details. They're usually far more complete than the pages they replace.
What your old pages said isn't wasted. We read your old site before your first build and use it to fill in your services, your towns and your story. How that works. And every old page's address still answers, so nothing that pointed to it breaks. How old addresses are handled.
Why not copy everything?
Old pages were written for an old site. Copying them forward would keep outdated details, uneven quality and pages that overlap, which are exactly the things holding many contractor sites back in search. You keep what's genuinely yours, and get better pages for the rest.
