Migrate Medium to Claude Code — without losing SEO
Sitejump audits the Medium site, preserves every URL, redirect and meta tag, then packages it for a modern React + Tailwind rebuild in Claude Code.
What is a Medium migration?
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
Medium ranks Medium, not you. Migrate your posts to your own domain in the selected AI builder so the traffic compounds for your brand.
Medium changes monetization and distribution rules constantly. Owning the stack removes that risk.
Rebuild with your palette, typography, and layout — not the shared Medium look.
Why teams move Medium to Claude Code
Claude Code works in the terminal against a real repository, which fits teams that want the Medium rebuild to land in their existing codebase and CI.
The rebuild can start inside a repository you already have, following the conventions and checks that are already in place.
Large page batches, redirect tables and language versions are handled in one continuous working session through the connector.
The output is a portable project: choose the host, the domain setup and the release process.
Once the Medium site is rebuilt in the selected AI builder, the team can edit pages by describing changes in plain language.
The migration package is prepared for the selected AI builder, v0, Replit, Cursor or Claude, with instructions suited to the selected destination.
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.

Honest, one-line takes on the other paths a Medium team usually considers.
| Option | What actually happens |
|---|---|
| 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). |
| Migrate with Sitejump | One free audit, one-time payment, SEO preserved, and marketing edits the site with the compatible web builder or coding workspace that fits your delivery flow. |

How the Medium → Claude Code move actually works
- 1. Free audit. Paste your Medium URL. We crawl a sample, detect Medium, count pages, and give you a preview report.
- 2. One-time payment. Pay once (tiered by page count). The full audit runs and packages your site into a migration bundle.
- 3. Paste one MCP URL into your AI builder. Lovable, v0, Replit Agent or a compatible coding workspace reads the migration package and rebuilds it in prioritised page batches on your instruction.
Medium migration 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.
