Policies & working methods

Prepare your website for a major software update

A readiness review for major website or SEO-platform changes, covering dependencies, exports, user tasks and rollback.

Original guide · English & Danish

A major version change can alter how your team works even when the homepage looks familiar. Review the tasks and data you depend on before adopting a release. This framework concerns your change process; it does not announce a Gavek version or promise an upcoming feature.

Inventory critical dependencies

Name the reports, exports, saved projects and external connections used every week. Record their owners and the consequences of failure. Pay special attention to integrations maintained outside your team, because a supplier announcement may not explain the effect on your particular setup.

Test the work that matters

Use a staging environment or limited test account when available. Repeat a representative task from input to output: import data, investigate a page, export a report and compare definitions with the old version. Record changed metrics rather than silently joining incompatible historical series.

Agree a controlled switch

Choose a change window, an escalation contact and a way to retain essential records. Define rollback or an acceptable workaround before switching. Share a short guide focused on changed actions, rather than expecting colleagues to infer the new process from release marketing.

Put the method to work

Illustrative example

Illustrative example: an agency tests a redesigned reporting interface with one non-sensitive sample project. It finds a renamed field and updates its client-report template before the wider team moves. The useful outcome is a verified transition, not an assumed improvement in rankings.

Your next steps

  1. List weekly business-critical tasks
  2. Export permitted records in usable formats
  3. Test a representative workflow end to end
  4. Document the switch owner and fallback plan

Questions & answers

Does a new interface improve SEO automatically?

No. An interface can make decisions easier, but outcomes depend on the data, completed work and how the website serves users.

Can Gavek migrate accounts from another tool?

No automatic account migration is offered by the public tools. Specialist migration help needs a separately agreed scope and secure access process.
