    • Today marks 103 days since changing domains Oct 29th, 2015.
    • Approximately one week after the change, organic traffic dropped 80% and has yet to recover.
    • The change was domain-level only. No URL restructuring took place.
    Looking for some new technical perspective on how we might right the course. A number of Google Webmaster forum Top Contributors have chimed in here.

    EDIT: Link isn't sticking. URL is...

    A number of consultants referred by Moz, etc. have also taken a look, conducted full SEO audits and offered suggestions. Nothing conclusive yet.

    The impact from this has been critical. We are a 25 year old business with 80+ employees. If there is anything we missed, we are happy to implement whatever changes and improvements are necessary.

    Any consideration is very much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
