WordPress Subfolder to Root Move takes a site living at a folder like /wordpress or /new and puts it on your main domain, for a fixed price of A$199. Sites are often built in a subfolder and never moved, which looks untidy and splits SEO. I move the site to the root, update every URL and redirect the old folder addresses.

Frequently asked questions
Why move WordPress out of a subfolder?
Cleaner addresses, simpler SEO and fewer confusing duplicate URLs.
Will old links break?
No. Old subfolder addresses redirect to the new ones.
Is there downtime?
Only a few minutes during the switch, usually none for visitors.
Can WordPress stay in the folder but show at the root?
Yes, that is another option, and I recommend whichever suits your hosting.
