In a Merger, Don’t Forget to Manage the SEO

Any merger – even the most well-planned and executed – comes with a host of decisions to make, strategies to blend, communications to craft, and complex financial arrangements to implement.

Unfortunately, one vital topic that too often gets de-prioritized is website and SEO management, especially when the target firm merges with a much larger partner.

In our latest article for Advisor Perspectives , we discuss how carefully managing SEO during a merger benefits everyone: clients feel comfortable, associates are more confident, and vital branding and marketing assets are preserved.
