Switching from Snappy Kraken
Switching from Snappy Kraken doesn’t mean starting over. We rebuild your site around who you serve, carry over the pages and content that already rank, redirect every old address to its new page, and switch over only after your compliance officer signs off. If Snappy Kraken registered your domain, you’ll request a transfer from them; if you own it, we point it to the new site with no downtime.
