Short answer: Not if you set up redirects. Map your old Wix URLs to the matching new pages before you point your domain over, so you keep the rankings you earned and don't drop buyers onto a 404. The risk isn't the move — it's moving without a redirect plan.

What protects your rankings

When a page's address changes, search engines need to be told where it went, and so do the buyers who bookmarked it or found it through search. A 301 redirect (the "permanent" kind) does both: it sends anyone hitting the old URL to the new one, and it passes the ranking weight along with them. Skip it, and every page you ranked for becomes a dead end.

The plan

  1. Inventory your old URLs. List every page that gets traffic — especially your available-puppies page and any breed or program pages. Those are the ones bringing buyers; they matter most.
  2. Map each old URL to its new equivalent. One to one wherever you can. Wix uses some specific URL patterns (blog posts under /post/, for example) — map those deliberately rather than guessing.
  3. Set 301 redirects from old to new before the switch.
  4. Keep titles, descriptions, and headings close to what ranked. A migration isn't the moment to rewrite everything.
  5. Submit a fresh sitemap to Google Search Console after you cut over.

Expect a small dip

A short, shallow ranking wobble in the first few weeks is normal while search engines re-crawl and settle. With redirects in place and your content intact, it recovers. Without redirects, it doesn't — that's lost traffic you'd have to rebuild from zero.

Keep the old site reachable until redirects are confirmed
