URL Change
After launching a new website most common issue which we face is not setting proper redirects. Due to that we lose good amount of organic traffic.
So make sure you keep all the URL’s exactly same as your old website. If not please setup proper redirects so there are no 404 and Not Found pages in your website.

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.
