Electric Tobacconist had been operating on the Visualsoft platform for several years, facing limitations in terms of performance, scalability, and user experience before migrating to Aero Commerce in September 2022. The decision to migrate was driven by the need to provide a superior online shopping experience, boost conversion rates, and accommodate the growing demands of their customer base.

From meticulously mapping out and redirecting old URLs to their corresponding new pages, optimising site structures, and maintaining their focus on key SEO elements, Electric Tobacconist managed to smoothly transition their SEO efforts without missing a beat. In the process, we helped reduce the number of low-value URLs generated by the previous platform and crawled by search engines, leading to more efficient crawling and more relevant pages being indexed by Google
