A Medium migration means moving your writing off medium.com and onto your own domain and design as a React + Tailwind site, so the audience and the SEO value accrue to you. Posts, tags and author pages are rebuilt as real routes. Your Medium profile stays up while you move. ## Why do Medium migrations lose SEO? Medium post URLs end in a random hash and the canonical points at medium.com, so the domain — not you — holds the ranking. Republishing the same text under new URLs without canonical and redirect handling creates duplicate content competing with the original. ## Why teams leave Medium - **You don't own the audience or the SEO** — Medium ranks Medium, not you. Migrate your posts to your own domain in the selected AI builder so the traffic compounds for your brand. - **Paywall and distribution changes** — Medium changes monetization and distribution rules constantly. Owning the stack removes that risk. - **Custom domain, real design** — Rebuild with your palette, typography, and layout — not the shared Medium look. ## Why teams leave Medium for an AI builder - **Edit by prompt, not by ticket** — Once the Medium site is rebuilt in the selected AI builder, the team can edit pages by describing changes in plain language. - **AI-native, not AI-bolted-on** — The migration package is prepared for the selected AI builder, v0, Replit, Cursor or Claude, with instructions suited to the selected destination. - **Portable React + Tailwind you actually own** — No more proprietary templating locking your site to Medium. The rebuild is standard React + Tailwind — any developer or any AI assistant can extend it, and no vendor can hold the codebase hostage. - **One bill instead of a stack of them** — Hosted builders can combine building and deployment; coding workspaces produce a portable repository for the host you choose. - **Built-in SEO and AEO** — Per-route meta, canonicals, JSON-LD, sitemaps, and answer-engine-friendly structure ship out of the box — not a paid SEO plugin bolted onto Medium. ## How it compares | Option | Verdict | | --- | --- | | Stay on Medium | Keeps monthly bills and the vendor lock-in. Every edit still needs a developer or agency ticket, and the platform gets older, not smarter. | | Rebuild in Next.js on Vercel | A capable route, but migration discovery, content capture, redirects and evidence still need to be assembled before the rebuild begins. | | Move to Webflow or Framer | Trades one hosted builder for another. You still don't own the code, and you'll re-platform again the day you need real product surfaces (auth, dashboards, checkout). | ## FAQ ### Do I need to touch Medium during the migration? No. Sitejump crawls your live site the same way search engines do — we only need the public URL. Your Medium install keeps running until you're ready to cut over. ### What about SEO? Will rankings drop? Every URL is preserved or 301-redirected to its new route, and every page's title, description, canonical and OG tags are carried forward. Search Console sees a clean move, not a rebuild. ### Is this a subscription? No. One free audit, then a one-time payment based on your site's page count. Lifetime access to your migration data through your account MCP connector. ### How does the rebuild actually happen? Paste one MCP URL into an AI builder, v0, Replit Agent or a compatible coding workspace. The builder reads the migration package and rebuilds pages on your instruction — you stay in control of design and structure. ### Does paying for a migration replace my live website? No. The current site keeps running as-is. Payment unlocks the migration package and connector for the saved destination. The switch happens only when the rebuilt site is published and the domain is moved. ### Which AI builder should I use for a Medium migration? Choose the selected AI builder, v0 or Replit for a hosted project, or Cursor or Claude for a portable repository deployed to a host you control. Sitejump saves the choice with the migration and adapts the instructions and package. ### What would this cost with an agency instead? A manual Medium rebuild is typically quoted at €3,000–€12,000 for a typical business site — most of that is the copying: pages, redirects, images and language versions carried over by hand. Sitejump automates that part for a one-time fee. ### Can non-developers edit the site after migration? Yes. The selected AI builder can apply plain-language changes after the rebuild. Complex product features and integrations may still need developer review. ## Next step Run a free audit at https://sitejump.dev/ — it samples about five pages plus the sitemap, detects the CMS, counts pages and languages, and returns an SEO preview before you pay anything.
