Thanks for the responses. The posts I read on moving domains didn't prepare me for a permanent drop in domain authority. I had picked up that it was possible to transfer this over, so a bit disappointed if that's not the case! Ouch.

It's only been two weeks so I'll hang in there a little longer but also take the advice about trying to build new inbound links.

I recently migrated from https://whitefusemedia.com to https://whitefuse.com. The website URL structure and content remained the same and I followed all the best practice guidance regarding checks on the new domain and appropriate 301 redirects.

I have seen traffic drop by about 50% and the traffic that is still coming through is mainly coming through links still listed by Google under the old domain (https://whitefusemedia.com).

Is this normal? Should I expect to see this bounce back, or is there anything I can do now to regain the rankings?
