My website was originally hosted at something.io and was indexed for about 3 weeks. It quickly reached an average position of 3.9 in Google Search. Eight days ago, I began a domain migration to something.com. I implemented 301 permanent redirects from every URL on something.io to its exact counterpart on something.com, and submitted a Change of Address request in Google Search Console the same day. Since then, something.io has completely disappeared from search results (as expected), but something.com is performing poorly, with an average position of 44.6. I’ve verified that the redirects are working correctly, both domains are verified in the same Search Console account, and the new domain’s sitemap and robots.txt are correctly configured. Canonical tags have also been updated to reflect the new domain. I expected a temporary drop, but the new domain is not gaining any visibility, and the SEO performance has dropped significantly. I need to understand what’s preventing the new domain from inheriting the original rankings and whether I should take any corrective action—or roll back the migration. submitted by /u/ExpensiveOkra7617 [link] [comments]
