: Do I need to re-index my site in Google Search Console when migrating from Wix to WordPress with new hosting? My client was running on Wix, so I moved his website over to WordPress with Godaddy.

My client was running on Wix, so I moved his website over to WordPress with Godaddy. Same domain name.

Do I need to delete and re add the website properties in Google search console? I resubmitted the sitemap and fetched all pages with the new site (I also rebuilt the site), but the preview image for the property is still showing the Wix site.

It's been about 4 days. Does this just take time or do I need to re-add the site? If I do, will google still have my sitemap/robots/etc information or does this need to be re-done?

Is there any downside to just re submitting the site?

If URLs are the same which suppose to be same when you are changing (only) hosting. Then no need for reindexing.

When you moved to Wix to WordPress, your URLs likely changed. You need to implement 301 permanent redirects between every Wix URL to every WordPress URL.

Here is an article about Wix to WordPress migration that suggests the CMS2CMS Wix to WordPress plugin for WordPress. It appears that that plugin can set up the redirects for you.

Deleting and re-adding the site in Search Console will have no effect. Without implementing the redirects, Google will not quickly process the new website structure. Any rankings in Google search will go away.
