Keywords

Most of the time redesigning of a website cause major drop in keyword ranking. Because the new website does not have keywords showing up any more where old website was ranking. Google algorithms are made to provide relevant and fresh information to their users and if your website don’t have the information any more it will not show up.

The best way to avoid the issue is to ask for help from a SEO expert who can analyze your website before launch so when the new website is up and launched it has the same keywords targeting as your old website was.
