WordPress SEO Expert Services

SEO plugins like Yoast and Rank Math are useful tools, but they're just that - tools. They can't fix Core Web Vitals issues, optimise your site architecture, develop content strategy, implement advanced schema markup, or clean up years of technical debt. You need someone who understands both WordPress deeply and strategic SEO to actually move the needle on rankings and traffic.

It depends on your starting point. Technical improvements like speed optimisation and Core Web Vitals fixes can show results within 4-8 weeks. Meaningful organic traffic and ranking improvements typically take 3-6 months of consistent work. If your site has significant technical issues or is brand new, it may take longer. I'll always be upfront about realistic timelines based on your specific situation.

Yes. Speed optimisation and Core Web Vitals improvement are core parts of my WordPress SEO service. This includes image optimisation, caching setup, JavaScript and CSS minification, database cleanup, CDN configuration if appropriate, and removing render-blocking resources. The goal is green scores in PageSpeed Insights and fast real-world performance on mobile and desktop.

Yes. I work with WooCommerce eCommerce sites and understand the specific SEO challenges: category and product page optimisation, schema markup for products and reviews, technical performance issues from large catalogues, duplicate content from product variations, and conversion rate optimisation. WooCommerce SEO requires both technical WordPress expertise and eCommerce strategy.

Possibly. I can assess whether you've been hit by an algorithmic update or a manual penalty, identify the likely causes (thin content, spammy backlinks, technical issues, etc.), and develop a recovery plan. However, penalty recovery isn't guaranteed and depends on the severity of the issues and Google's response to your reconsideration request if it's a manual penalty.

Yes. I offer bespoke WordPress SEO training for in-house marketing teams and agencies wanting to improve their technical SEO capabilities. This can be delivered as workshops, ongoing mentoring, or project-based training where we work together on your sites and I explain the reasoning behind each decision.

WordPress SEO requires platform-specific knowledge: understanding theme and plugin conflicts, database optimisation, caching strategies, WordPress-specific performance bottlenecks, proper permalink structure, category/tag management, and how to implement technical fixes without breaking functionality. A generic SEO consultant might know strategy but struggle with WordPress implementation details.

Not if done properly. I always work on staging environments first and test changes thoroughly before deploying to production. I also maintain full backups and have rollback procedures in place. Proper WordPress SEO implementation is systematic and safe - it's not cowboy coding or reckless plugin installation.

I do both. I can develop content strategy (keyword research, topical planning, internal linking) and write the content myself, or guide your in-house team or content writers on best practices. For highly technical industries, I'll work with your subject matter experts to ensure accuracy whilst optimising for search visibility.

Costs depend on your site size, technical complexity, content needs, and how competitive your market is. A small local service business site will cost significantly less than a large WooCommerce store or content publisher with hundreds of pages. After the initial discovery call and audit, I'll provide a clear proposal with pricing options. No hidden fees or vague packages that don't fit your needs.
