Platform Migration ROI Calculator
Is your website platform holding you back? Enter your URL and we’ll detect the platform, show what it locks down, and estimate the return on moving to full technical control.
What would a migration actually return?
No signup to run it. We fetch your page once to read the platform signature, then use your numbers for the estimate.
Enter your site to begin.
How the estimate works
We detect your platform from the public page, then work out what its technical layer locks down. Moving to WordPress or a custom build removes that ceiling — faster rendering and Core Web Vitals, full schema and on-page control, and no platform-managed findings you can never fix.
We apply a conservative conversion-lift range to the visitors who already convert, subtract the extra hosting, and compare the recurring gain against the one-off rebuild cost to get a payback period. It is a decision aid, not a forecast.
The best reads: a payback under ~12 months makes a rebuild easy to justify; over ~24 months usually means the Google Business Profile and reviews are the better first spend.
Before you rebuild
- Check the ceiling first — the platform checker names exactly what’s changeable on your site.
- Run the free local audit — your Local Visibility Score and review gap in 15 seconds: free local audit →
- Fix the listing first — for local businesses, the Google Business Profile and review velocity usually move revenue faster than a rebuild. GBP guide →
- Get the numbers audited — the $99 Revenue-Leak Audit ranks what to fix by revenue impact. Start the $99 audit →
Frequently asked questions
How is the migration ROI calculated?
We take your monthly visitors, current conversion rate and average sale value, then apply a conservative conversion-lift range from moving to a platform with full technical control (faster rendering, Core Web Vitals, full schema and on-page control). Your actual result depends on your market and how the new site is built.
Which platforms can migrate?
The calculator is built for locked platforms — Wix, Squarespace, WordPress.com, GoDaddy, Weebly, Duda and similar — where the technical layer is not yours to fix. Partial platforms (Shopify, Webflow, Ghost) keep a usable content layer, so the gain is smaller.
Is a migration always worth it?
No. For many local businesses the highest-return work is the Google Business Profile and reviews, not a rebuild. The calculator says so when the numbers are thin. Run it before you spend.
What does GSA charge?
GSA Growth starts with a $99 Local Leak Audit, then $499/location/month for Starter and $999+/month for Growth. A rebuild is quoted separately.
Do you guarantee results?
No — and be wary of anyone who does. We commit to the work: an honest platform assessment, a realistic score for your platform, and the fixes that are actually deliverable on it.
