After a redesign
What happens to SEO when you redesign a therapy website—redirects, fetchable HTML, no rank guarantee
A redesign changes what crawlers and answer engines can fetch: new sentences for fee, services and status; permanent redirects where slugs change; structured data that matches the visible copy. Therapist Website Studio monitors indexing in Search Console after launch—we do not promise unchanged rankings, before-and-after position charts, or a separate SEO product sold on fear.
Example bespoke sites
Alder Quay is a designed example in Bristol. It is not a client before-and-after or proof that rankings stayed flat.

}The website we deliver
What search systems actually receive
On launch day the question is whether Googlebot can follow redirects to HTML that states your current offer—not whether you hold position three for a phrase we never recorded.
Keep stable URLs when they still fit; rename slugs only when the page map requires it. Changes follow Google’s site-move guidance with a written map—see therapy website redesign vs repair.
| We build | We do not promise |
|---|---|
| Stable URLs where the offer still fits | New slugs for decoration |
| 301 redirects for retired paths | Deleted bookmarks |
| Fee and status in crawlable text | Unchanged ranking on day one |
| Structured data matching paragraphs | A testimonial-led rank claim |
| Search Console checks after cutover | A before-and-after traffic chart we invent |
Helpful content is the practice facts
Google’s helpful content and SEO starter guide frame clear pages—not keyword stuffing. After redesign, outdated fees or status lines are what answer engines may quote until HTML updates.
Launch mechanics overlap private practice website launch checklist and therapy website SEO migration checklist.
Structured data on the new templates
Service, fee and contact facts repeat in structured data beside visible copy so Google, ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity do not cite JSON-LD that disagrees with the page.
Meta descriptions are suggestions—snippets can be rewritten by Google. AI overviews can lag corrected wording; the fix is public HTML, not a pitch we pretend guarantees recrawl timing.
What we watch after launch
Search Console shows coverage and which URLs return errors—it is not a contract that positions stay still. Submission is not the same as ranking.
We do not add a hidden “SEO month two” phase. Broader SEO retainers are separate offers on this site when you want ongoing search work beyond the redesign build.
SEO work inside the redesign price
Redirects, sitemap, crawlable pages and matching structured data are part of the published redesign at therapy website redesign cost prices—not a generator audit or a rank-protection fee.
Standard Managed is £149 setup and £49 a month for 12 months, then Website Care at £39. Growth Managed is £249 and £69 a month, then £49, when each real service needs its own page. Prices include VAT. Scope: website redesign for therapists. Wider search help: SEO for therapists.

- Will I drop off Google after a redesign?
- We do not promise either outcome. We keep URLs where we can and redirect the rest deliberately.
- Do you publish before-and-after rankings?
- No. We do not invent position charts on this page.
- Is post-redesign SEO a separate product?
- Redirects and fetchable HTML are in the redesign build. Ongoing SEO consulting is optional and quoted separately.
