Session #12 - Site Migrations Done Right: E-E-A-T, Architecture, and Avoiding Costly Mistakes

from Ten Speed Sessions · host Ten Speed

In this episode, Nate and Kevin sit down with Ten Speed's Manager of Organic Growth Strategy, Erika Braeger, to walk through how to approach site migrations and domain consolidations without tanking your organic performance. They cover the full lifecycle from setting clear business goals and crawling staging environments before launch, to preserving E-E-A-T signals, fixing redirect chains, and auditing legacy site architecture. Erika also shares the most common mistakes she sees along the way, including skipping content freezes, neglecting page speed, and missing authorship signals, and explains why each one matters more now that LLM visibility is part of the picture.

NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in The Ten Commandments Chad Boersema Many focus on MAKING disciples, we hope to help in the process of BEING a disciple of Jesus. Understanding the ten commandments can be a good place to reflect on, as they were one of Israel's first introductions to learning how to relate to God and live in His way. Jesus also references the commandments in his sermon on the mount saying, “...whoever does them [the commandments] will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:19) Looking forward to exploring these with you!
