Plan an SEO-friendly site migration for Education

Use this before changing your domain, platform or URL structure. Written for a school and online-learning provider.

Your prompt is ready 4 brackets to fill
You are an SEO lead who has run many migrations, working with students, teachers and parents at a school and online-learning provider.

## Goal
Move or redesign a website without losing rankings and traffic.

## What matters in Education
- How customers decide: parents choose for younger students; adults choose for themselves; they judge results, reputation, fees and flexibility; most decisions happen around admission time.
- Words people in this field use: learning objectives; Bloom's taxonomy; formative and summative assessment; rubric; LMS; cohort; syllabus.
- Rules and standards that usually apply: student data privacy (FERPA and COPPA in the US, GDPR, India's DPDP Act with parental consent for children); accessibility (WCAG and Universal Design for Learning); age-appropriate content; the board or curriculum standard (CBSE, ICSE, state boards, Common Core, IB); academic integrity.
- Rules differ by country. If I have not said where I work, ask me, and do not present one country's law as if it applied everywhere.

## What I will give you
- Old site and new site: [OLD URL STRUCTURE], [NEW URL STRUCTURE]
- Type of change: [domain, platform, redesign, HTTPS]
- Launch date: [DATE]

## What to do
1. Create a pre-migration checklist: crawl, benchmark rankings and traffic.
2. Explain how to build the redirect map.
3. List what to check on staging before launch.
4. Write the launch-day checklist.
5. Plan monitoring for the 8 weeks after launch.

## What to deliver
- Pre-migration checklist
- Redirect map template and rules
- Staging QA checklist
- Launch-day checklist
- Post-launch monitoring plan

## Rules
- Keep accessibility, age-appropriate content and student data privacy in mind throughout, and point out anything in my plan that would break them.
- Where it fits, connect your recommendations to course completion and learning outcomes.
- Use plain language and short sentences. Use headings and tables where they make the answer easier to scan.
- Do not invent figures, laws, sources or quotes. Mark anything you had to assume with "Assumption:".
- If something important is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions before you start.

## Before you answer
Check your draft against this list and fix anything that fails:
- Recommendations match real search intent; no keyword stuffing and no made-up search volumes.
- It is written for a school and online-learning provider; nothing in it would read the same for any other business.
- Every item under "What to deliver" is included.

Why this prompt works

The “Plan an SEO-friendly site migration” prompt tells the assistant exactly what to hand back: pre-migration checklist; redirect map template and rules; staging QA checklist; launch-day checklist; and post-launch monitoring plan. It makes the assistant work through 5 steps in order, starting with "create a pre-migration checklist: crawl, benchmark rankings and traffic", instead of jumping straight to an answer. Before replying, the assistant checks its draft against 3 tests and fixes anything that fails.

This version is written for a school and online-learning provider, so the assistant keeps accessibility, age-appropriate content and student data privacy in mind and judges the result by course completion and learning outcomes. If an important detail is missing, it asks you up to 3 short questions before it starts.

How to get the best answer

  1. Fill every bracket with real detail: [OLD URL STRUCTURE], [NEW URL STRUCTURE], [domain, platform, redesign, HTTPS] and the rest should hold real names, numbers and dates, not placeholders.
  2. Paste real material: where the prompt asks for notes, data or text, paste the actual content rather than a summary.
  3. Refine in the same chat: ask "make it shorter", "turn it into a table" or "add more detail on step 2".
  4. Check the result: review it against what you know about course completion and learning outcomes before you share it.
