Our 5-step website performance recovery framework

Whilst a migration recovery has historically been associated with a decline in SEO traffic, today, the impact on performance is far greater. Alongside a clear decline in SEO exposure and traffic, you may also experience a loss of performance across all marketing channels due to usability and user journey issues.

  • 1. Diagnostics
  • 2. Recovery Roadmapping
  • 3. Integration Consulting
  • 4. Testing & Validation
  • 5. Performance Reporting

We conduct a comprehensive audit to pinpoint exactly what went wrong and why. Crawl health, ranking shifts, and technical changes are all analysed so you get a clear, evidence-based picture of why the loss occurred.

We use our diagnostic findings to create a prioritised, actionable plan built around your biggest recovery opportunities. You receive a structured roadmap to execute with confidence, knowing every task is ordered by impact.

We work directly alongside your developers and CMS team to implement the fixes that matter most, proposing specific fixes, guiding your teams on how to implement them, and running QA checks post-deployment.

Before declaring success, we verify it. Every solution we propose is tested against crawl, performance and behavioural data to ensure it is providing the uplift we expect to ensure your recovery is on-track.

We keep you and your stakeholders informed at every stage with clear, jargon-free reporting. Recovery dashboards and regular progress updates mean you always know where you stand, how far you've come, and what's coming next.

Recovery strategies executed to get business back on track

“The recovery strategy gave us a really clear understanding of how to regain performance across our key markets. What I appreciated most was the method that POLARIS followed and how they managed our development agency to get things right again.”

Frequently asked questions

Discuss your SEO
  • What types of website performance issues do you help recover from?

    We support businesses recovering from a wide range of website performance issues, particularly where organic visibility, traffic, or lead generation has declined. This can include post-migration traffic drops, ranking losses after a redesign or re-platforming, as well as instances where performance loss has occurred after a new site launch or re-launch.

  • How do you identify the cause of a traffic or ranking drop?

    We start by building a clear picture of what has changed, when the decline began, and which parts of the site or performance have been affected. From there, we investigate the issue across key areas including technical SEO, indexing, crawlability, site architecture, page templates, migration activity, content changes, and tracking setup. We also review historical performance data to identify patterns at page, template, and section level. The goal is not just to spot symptoms, but to pinpoint the most likely root causes so that recovery efforts can be prioritised effectively against your performance priorities.

  • Do you work with internal development teams to implement fixes?

    Yes. We regularly work alongside internal development teams, providing clear recommendations, implementation guidance, and validation support throughout the recovery process. Where needed, we also support with QA and post-launch checks to ensure fixes have been implemented correctly and are having the intended effect.

  • How long does recovery take?

    Recovery timelines vary depending on the scale of the issue, how long it has been affecting performance, and how quickly recommended fixes can be implemented. However, with our prioritised development and technical roadmaps we aim to drive as much recovery as possible within 3 months of work.

  • Do we need POLARIS after the recovery is complete?

    This depends; for some clients, we assist with the recovery project before setting their team up to continue independently. Other businesses choose to retain our support for ongoing technical SEO guidance, monitoring, and validation. Our approach is flexible — we can support as a specialist recovery partner for a fixed period, or continue working with your team longer term if that adds value.
