4Ever Metal Roofing: a new website that kept every old link working

Where they started

4Ever Metal Roofing installs metal roofs for homeowners around Fort Wayne and Noblesville, Indiana. Their website ran on WordPress, hosted with a WordPress host, and had grown over the years into hundreds of pages and addresses that customers and search engines still used.

What they got

• A new website on their own domain, live on September 8, 2026, with pages for both offices and for the counties they serve in Indiana, Ohio and Michigan.
• Every address from the old site kept working. All 665 old addresses were checked on the live site: 646 now open the matching new page in one step, and 19 retired pages tell search engines they are gone for good.
• Pages that load fast. At launch, the main content of every page type we tested appeared in between 0.12 and 0.5 seconds, and nothing on the page jumped around while it loaded.
• Stronger spam checks on the forms. In the first weeks after launch, 19 of 28 contact-form messages were spam, so the forms were tightened; the new six-step quote form, live since October 16, 2026, stopped 11 of 11 spam messages in a replay test.
• Their business details stated the same way on every page, so search engines and AI assistants read one consistent business.

What happened

Google indexed 272 of the 276 pages in the new site's sitemap within three weeks of launch. For the search "metal roofing fort wayne", the site's average position over the four weeks from October 9 to November 5, 2026 was 4.8, on page one.
