Change domain , affect SEO rankings?

[jononaquest]

I have been creating a site for a family member on my own domain name, which is not the company business name or business domain, it has actually gotten on first page of google for one of the targeted keywords, and on page 2-5 on other keywords. How do I go about changing the website to the proper domain without losing any of these results? Any help is greatly appreciated.

do a 301 redirect from old site to new site matching all the pages. In a few weeks your new site will be where your old site was. Use .htaccess to do it

301 redirect .

 

[SPQR]

301 redirect .

I vouch that you should use this.
