First useful step

Send the current website or system, the business context, what is happening, and what matters most. Boho will review the visible situation and identify the smallest useful next step. A submitted inquiry is not an accepted project, quote, emergency response, or guarantee of availability.

This is a fit when

The business needs to leave a website, SEO, hosting, analytics, email, or technology provider.

Start somewhere else when

The requester cannot demonstrate authority to act for the business or accounts.

Example deliverable

Ownership and access inventory

A provider rescue begins with an ownership and dependency map. Boho does not claim access it does not have, bypass account security, impersonate the owner, or guarantee that a registrar, host, platform, or former provider will approve a recovery request.

A simple-looking website can hide a complicated ownership problem.

Many businesses do not discover how fragile their setup is until they try to leave.

The may be registered under the wrong person or account. may be bundled into a provider relationship nobody understands. and may belong to someone else. may send to an abandoned inbox. Email may depend on records nobody documented. Important pages may be replaced without . The website may rely on plugins, licenses, , or code the business cannot access.

A rushed move can break working pages, lose inquiries, erase measurement continuity, damage search visibility, interrupt email, or leave the business unable to control its own public presence.

Boho maps the system before changing it.

Common rescue situations

Leaving an unproductive or marketing provider

The business is paying for work it cannot verify, reports do not explain decisions, access is unclear, the relationship has broken down, or the provider is unwilling to document what it controls.

Boho can review visible work, inventory known accounts, identify ownership gaps, preserve useful assets, and recommend a cleaner operating model.

Moving to a new website or

The business needs a redesign or platform change but cannot afford to treat every current page, , form, integration, and search signal as disposable.

Boho can inventory content, define URL behavior, plan redirects, identify important customer paths, coordinate authorized access, and verify the new launch.

Recovering ownership and access

The business does not know who controls the domain, DNS, hosting, website administration, analytics, Search Console, business profiles, email service, , or third-party integrations.

Boho can create an access and ownership map and identify the smallest lawful recovery path. Actual recovery may still require the authorized owner, registrar, provider, platform, attorney, security specialist, or another responsible party.

Cleaning up after a bad launch

A new website is live, but forms stopped working, redirects failed, pages disappeared, tracking changed, mobile behavior broke, or nobody verified the effect on search and customer actions.

Boho can inspect the visible damage, prioritize corrections, document known uncertainty, and recommend whether repair, , migration, or redesign is the more responsible path.

Separating bundled website, hosting, email, and provider services

The business may have one vendor controlling the website, DNS, hosting, email routing, analytics, forms, and billing. Boho can identify which parts should remain, move, or be transferred into client-owned accounts.

Four ways to begin

Provider Rescue Assessment

A focused review of ownership, access, connected services, risks, and the best next step.

The assessment may review:

DNS
Hosting
Website platform
Administrative access
Repository or files, where available
Content and URL inventory
Forms and
Analytics and Search Console
Business profiles
Email dependencies
Integrations
Renewals and provider responsibilities
Known contractual or operational constraints supplied by the client

The deliverable identifies what is known, what is missing, what appears urgent, which actions require the client or another provider, and which larger engagement is likely to be useful.

Starting price: $350

Clean Exit Plan

A written plan for leaving the current arrangement without changing the system prematurely.

The plan may define:

Target providers or platform
Required client actions
Ownership changes
Content and data preservation
URL and redirect treatment
Form and analytics continuity
Email and DNS dependencies
Launch sequence
Verification steps
Rollback concerns
Known risks
Outside specialists or approvals required

A Clean Exit Plan may follow the Rescue Assessment or be included in a larger migration scope.

Migration and Rescue Assistance

Authorized implementation of the approved move.

A straightforward minimum migration may include one small website, one domain, ordinary hosting and DNS coordination, limited pages and redirects, simple forms, basic analytics continuity, launch verification, and handoff documentation.

Starting price: $1,000

Rescue + Redesign

A combined provider exit and replacement website project.

This option is appropriate when preserving the current website would cost more, retain the same structural problem, or leave the business with an inferior long-term system.

Pricing is determined from the website and migration scope together.

The rescue and migration process

2. Inventory the system

Domains, DNS, hosting, website, content, URLs, forms, analytics, , email dependencies, integrations, providers, access, and ownership are documented as far as authorized information allows.

3. Secure or clarify ownership

Boho identifies which accounts the client owns, which access is missing, which transfers are possible, and which recovery actions require the client, registrar, provider, platform, attorney, or specialist.

4. Preserve what has value

Useful content, URLs, forms, tracking, business information, records, and other agreed assets are identified before the move.

5. Plan and execute the move

The target system, responsibilities, URL behavior, redirects, content transfer, forms, measurement, email dependencies, launch sequence, and verification plan are approved before execution.

6. Verify the result

Boho checks the approved website, redirects, important pages, forms, customer actions, analytics, search access, DNS, and other scoped systems.

Assessment credit

When a paid Provider Rescue Assessment leads to qualifying migration, rescue execution, or Rescue + Redesign work for substantially the same business and system, Boho credits 100% of the eligible assessment fee toward the larger engagement, subject to the published credit conditions.

The credit normally requires full payment of the assessment, acceptance of the larger proposal within 90 days, and research that remains materially usable. The credit has no cash value and does not apply to third-party costs, priority premiums, recurring hosting, or unrelated work.

Priority and urgent work

Published prices assume ordinary scheduling, reasonable access, and normal business-hour coordination.

Priority scheduling, accelerated migration, emergency investigation, after-hours work, or a deadline that displaces scheduled projects is quoted separately. Any premium or minimum will be disclosed and approved before the affected paid work begins.

Priority service is subject to capacity and is not guaranteed.

Questions before scope

Frequently asked questions

Clear boundaries make the next decision easier.

Can you guarantee that we will recover every account?

No. Recovery depends on ownership records, provider procedures, available evidence, authorized contacts, security conditions, contracts, and third-party cooperation. Boho can document the situation and assist with lawful recovery steps, but it cannot guarantee the outcome.

Can you contact our current provider for us?

Potentially, when the scope and authority are clear. The client may still need to make or approve requests, verify identity, pay outstanding balances, accept transfers, or involve legal counsel.

Will a migration hurt our search visibility?

Any migration carries risk. Careful inventory, URL preservation, redirects, , , search access, launch verification, and can reduce avoidable risk. They cannot guarantee unchanged rankings or traffic.

Do we need a Rescue Assessment before migration?

Not always as a separate purchase. A straightforward migration quote may include the necessary assessment work. A paid Rescue Assessment is most useful when ownership, access, provider behavior, system condition, or the correct path is uncertain. Its eligible fee is credited toward qualifying execution.

What qualifies for the $1,000 migration minimum?

A small, straightforward website with one domain, clear authorized access, ordinary hosting and DNS, limited pages and redirects, simple forms, no ecommerce, no mailbox migration, no disputed ownership, and normal scheduling.

Can you migrate our email too?

Email routing, DNS records, transactional website messages, and mailbox migration may be included when expressly scoped. Mailbox migration can be materially different from website migration and may require provider licenses, storage review, security planning, archive decisions, and user coordination.

Can you move an ecommerce website?

Potentially, after reviewing the catalog, products, customers, orders, checkout, payments, tax, shipping, account data, transaction email, integrations, platform limits, and security requirements. Ecommerce migrations require a specific quote.

What if the former provider refuses to cooperate?

Boho will document the refusal, identify alternatives, and clarify which steps require the owner, registrar, hosting company, platform, attorney, or another specialist. Boho cannot lawfully manufacture authority or force a provider to transfer an asset.

Do you handle emergency migrations?

Boho may accept priority or emergency work when capacity, authorization, access, and technical feasibility allow. Priority pricing is quoted separately. Response and resolution are not guaranteed before acceptance.

Will we own the new setup?

Boho generally prefers client ownership of domains, major provider accounts, analytics, search properties, content, and durable project assets. Exact ownership and licensing are stated in the written engagement and handoff.

Can you preserve our existing content and URLs?

Boho can inventory and preserve agreed content and URLs where access and technical conditions allow. Some material may be obsolete, duplicated, legally unusable, technically inaccessible, or not worth preserving. Those decisions should be documented before launch.

What happens after the migration?

The client receives documentation and handoff. Boho may separately provide website redesign, ongoing SEO, hosting, managed website operations, analytics, content, or later improvements.
