The article mentions how they handled it.

> While you’re making big changes, take care of your existing customers. If you’re raising prices, grandfather them to their current plan. If you’re lowering prices, give them some alternative options.

GregMartinez··on Why Did ProtonMail Vanish from Google Search Results? (2016)
Without knowing their migration strategy it is hard to say. A few things I notice that get borked often with migrations are not handling redirects & internal links properly, not updating sitemaps & canonical tags, and not checking Google Search Console & robots.txt
