Hey guys I recently performed a google site move from domain x to domain y.

The main money keywords are on the home page.

1. I did the redirects and pretty much everything that is needed
2. On day 3 the entire new site was crawled pos 25+
3. One day 4 The old site is removed from index, backlinks transferred and shows in new site.
4. New site gets new and most of the old keywords and ranks well.
5. Site struggles for high volume money keywords, moves to pos 3,2 and stays there for a few hours then goes to +25
6. I accidentally reindex old home page without redirect
7. New site shows position 2 for a few hours then moves back to 25 and old site home page shows in google

Old site was ranking pos 6 for the money keyword, just before the change.

Can people with experience assist please.

Did I kill my site ?

I understand that it looks like you killed it, but give it some time. Google is great at ranking keywords, and they do their best to include high authority websites like yours

Thank you so much for you reply, I revert back to the old site, and my rankings across the board shoot up, basically position 1 for all keywords that matter.


The migration was due to believing that site had some hidden SEO throttle based of off bad technical and content based signals, but it is completely back to it's 2 years ago performance, perhaps this could have triggered something within the Google algorithm ?

No matter what I did, the site could not just get to position, also to mention I also did a massive EETA revamp for the migration, perhaps that was be golden ticket to ranking well again.
