How to Migrate from The SEO Framework to SureRank

Learn how to migrate from The SEO Framework to SureRank and seamlessly move your existing SEO settings using SureRank’s built-in migration tool.

Back Up Your Website

Before you make any changes, create a backup of your website. This will help protect your data in case anything unexpected happens.

Open the Migration Tool

• Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard.
• Go to SureRank > Tools > Migrate tab.

Start the Migration

On the Migrate page, look for the Import SEO data from the section.

Click the Migrate button to start the process.

By default, The SEO Framework will be deactivated after migration. If you want to keep it active, uncheck the box before migrating.

What to Do if Migration Is Interrupted

If you leave the migration page or switch to another tab before the migration is complete, the process will pause. When you return, you’ll see a message indicating that the migration is paused. Any data imported before the migration was paused is safely saved, and resuming the migration will not create duplicate data.

You have three options:

Resume Migration – Continue the migration from where you left off.

Start Over – Restart the migration process from the beginning.

Cancel Migration – Stop the migration if you no longer want to continue.

What Gets Imported

SureRank will import the following settings from The SEO Framework:

• Meta Templates
• Social
• Home Page
• Archive Pages
• Robot Instructions
• Sitemaps

Final Checks

• Review your SEO settings in SureRank after migration.
• Test your homepage, archives, and social previews.
• Adjust any settings as needed.

SureRank Pro: Migrate Redirections, Extended Meta Templates from The SEO Framework

1. Follow the regular migration steps to import your SEO settings from The SEO Framework.
2. SureRank Pro will also import your SEO Framework redirections and Extended Meta Templates during this process.

Verify Imported Redirections

• Go to SureRank > Link Manager > Redirection Manager in your WordPress dashboard.
• Check that your The SEO Framework redirections are listed there.

Requirements

• SureRank Pro must be installed and active.

Note: SureRank does not migrate Schema data. Only the global and page-level SEO settings available in SureRank will be imported. Features unique to The SEO Framework will not be transferred. After migration, review your settings in SureRank and manually set up any features that were not included.

By following these steps, you can easily move your SEO settings from The SEO Framework to SureRank.
