What clients say
★★★★★

"SMB Tech spent 3 weeks on audit before touching anything. We went live on a Friday night and Monday morning was just another Monday. No calls, no issues."

IT Director, Manufacturing & Distribution · Dubai, UAE
Enterprise Upgrade
★★★★★

"We'd watched a competitor lose 60% of their SEO after a Magento upgrade. By week 8 we were getting 34% more organic traffic than before. It's the best thing we've done this year."

Managing Director, Sports Retailer · Brisbane, Australia
SEO-Safe Upgrade
★★★★★

"Two agencies gave us a broken store. SMB Tech gave us a 28-item conflict register before starting a single line of work. That document alone was worth more than everything else combined."

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions store owners ask before starting a Magento upgrade project.

SMB Tech Solution has completed 100+ Magento upgrade and recovery projects across 45+ countries — covering everything from single-store patch upgrades to 7-website multi-store major version migrations and full Magento 1 to Magento 2 migrations. Every project follows our audit-first framework.
We specialise in: zero-downtime upgrades using blue-green deployment, SEO-safe migrations preserving all existing rankings and URLs, emergency recovery from failed upgrades and checkout failures, extension conflict resolution, performance optimisation upgrades, enterprise multi-store upgrades with ERP integrations, and Magento 1 to Magento 2 migrations.
A standard Magento version upgrade (e.g. 2.4.4 to 2.4.8) takes 7–14 days from kickoff to go-live. Complex enterprise upgrades with ERP integrations typically take 8–12 weeks. Magento 1 to Magento 2 migrations take 6–16 weeks depending on catalogue size and customisation depth. We always provide a firm timeline before starting.
A poorly executed Magento upgrade can devastate SEO rankings if URL structures change, meta data is lost, or Core Web Vitals worsen. Our SEO-safe upgrade process preserves all indexed URLs, migrates all meta data, rebuilds legacy 301 redirect chains, and improves Core Web Vitals — typically resulting in ranking improvement, not loss, post-upgrade.
Magento upgrade pricing starts from $2,500 for smaller stores and ranges to $15,000+ for complex enterprise multi-store setups. We always provide a firm written quote after a free initial assessment — no surprises, no hidden fees. INR pricing is available for India-based clients. WhatsApp us for a same-day quote.
