Risk of losing SEO after a website redesign

Hi,so there is a built with Wordpress website which I had to redesign recently.

I used a different builder, the text is new, the graphics are new, basically most of the inside of the website is new. The elements that are the same are 1. links, 2. posts.

My redesign got 99/100 Google PageSpeed score and the website I'm redesigning has 65/90. My weights 340KB, old 1.3MB.

Now to the question - I recently told the owner that I'm very close to the finish and if he has any questions, etc. and he told me that he asked a guy who built the previous website his opinion and this guy told him that it is a very stupid idea to change his website to my because "the structure" of the website is completely new and he will lose all his SEO value and his website will dump in Google search. He suggested that instead of putting my website live he should hire somebody (him) to redesign his website to my 'look' without changing the structure as much as I did.

I'm wondering how close to the truth he is? His current website didn't have H1 for years and I don't know if I should trust a guy who did this about any SEO tips.

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0
