I am getting ready to convert an existing basic website to drupal. This site has some impressive SEO keyword rankings that the owner is nervous about losing.

How do I upgrade the website to drupal without losing those ranks? Is that even a concern? I will likely keep most if not all of the content, and I can manually copy the header meta tags into the drupal home page. Is that necessary? What precautions do I need to take?

You can move the thread by editing the original post and choosing 'Upgrading Drupal' as the forum.

Thank you.

It's not a drupal upgrade though. Couldn't find where to post this. I will be installing drupal for the first time on this website. They used a generic website builder that came with the hosting company.

Then you want 'Before you start'.
