✅ What to Do After Your Domain Is Updated
Changing your domain is exciting—but there are a few things you’ll want to follow up on:
🛠 Reconnect Google reCAPTCHA
Make sure your forms continue working properly by reconnecting Google reCAPTCHA to your new domain.
🔍 Update Google Services
To keep your SEO and tracking tools accurate, update the following:
- Add and verify your new domain in Google Search Console
- Update your website URL in Google Analytics
- Re-submit your sitemap in Search Console under the new domain
🌐 Update External Links
Check places where your domain is listed, such as:
- Blogs or business directories
- Social media bios
- Email signatures
- Business cards and printed materials
📧 Update Email Settings
If you're using a custom email address (like info@yourdomain.com), you may need to:
- Set up a new mailbox for your new domain
- Or update your existing email settings
Our team is happy to help with any domain-based email setup or changes.
📣 Announce the Change
Let your audience know about your new domain! A quick message goes a long way:
“We’ve updated our website address! You can now find us at [yournewdomain.com]. Come take a look!”
🔗 Check Internal Links
Make sure all links inside your website are working—especially if you’ve used full URLs instead of relative paths.
⚙️ Review Third-Party Tools
If you use any third-party services (like Facebook Pixel, email marketing platforms, etc.), don’t forget to:
- Update your domain in those tools
- Re-verify ownership, if needed
