WordPress SEO Services

WordPress SEO that fixes the system behind the page.

A plugin can expose title, sitemap, and schema fields. It cannot decide which URLs should be indexed, repair redirect chains, make a heavy theme fast, or keep editors from publishing the same structural problem 100 times. We work on the WordPress rules and templates that shape every page — then build content on top.

SEO pricing and timeline

The WordPress layer generic SEO misses.

WordPress is flexible because themes, plugins, taxonomies, templates, and editors can all create URLs. That same flexibility needs rules.

  • Crawl, index, and sitemap controls

    We decide which posts, pages, archives, taxonomies, and utility URLs belong in search, then align index directives and XML sitemaps with that decision. WordPress has native XML sitemap functionality; inclusion still needs review.

    Crawl, index, and sitemap controls

  • Permalinks, canonicals, and redirects

    Stable permalink rules, canonical behavior, broken-link repair, and redirect maps keep one useful destination for each topic. WordPress includes canonical redirect behavior, but migrations and plugin conflicts still need testing.

  • Theme and plugin performance

    Templates, scripts, images, fonts, caching, and plugin load are reviewed together. Installing another optimization plugin is not the default answer when the theme or stack is the bottleneck.

  • Templates and structured data

    Reusable title, heading, internal-link, and schema rules are built into the templates that publish at scale. Structured data must match visible page content; a plugin setting does not make unsupported markup accurate.

  • Editorial and migration safety

    Editor guidance covers slugs, headings, links, media, and updates. During rebuilds, redirects, metadata, and schema are carried through and tested at launch.

Audit once. Turn the findings into publishing rules.

  1. 01

    Review the current site

    We review index controls, templates, status codes, canonicals, sitemap entries, internal links, and the theme and plugins affecting search.

  2. 02

    Set the URL rules

    Permalinks, archives, taxonomies, duplicate paths, redirects, and index controls get one documented decision each.

  3. 03

    Fix templates before pages

    Theme performance, headings, metadata, schema, navigation, and internal-link patterns are corrected at the reusable layer where possible.

  4. 04

    Publish and monitor

    Content follows an editorial checklist. Search Console, crawl data, rankings, and agreed conversions are reviewed monthly, with noticeable SEO movement generally expected in 3–6 months.

A fit when WordPress is staying — or moving carefully.

WordPress SEO is not a one-plugin installation, and it is not an instant ranking fix. A fragile custom theme, unsupported plugins, thin content, or a migration without a stable URL map can make the technical work larger than the monthly plan. We scope that before promising a timeline.

  • An established WordPress site with crawl, template, or content debt

  • A content team that needs repeatable publishing controls

  • A redesign, domain change, or replatform requiring redirect protection

  • A business prepared for a 3–6 month SEO horizon

WordPress SEO questions, answered straight.

Is WordPress good for SEO?

It can be. WordPress supports customizable URLs, native XML sitemaps, themes, plugins, and structured publishing workflows. Those tools create flexibility, not automatic rankings; configuration, performance, content, and authority still determine the work.

Is an SEO plugin enough?

No. A plugin can provide controls for metadata, sitemaps, canonicals, or schema. It cannot make the underlying URL strategy correct, write useful content, repair a slow theme, or validate every migration redirect.

How much do WordPress SEO services cost?

SEO/GEO/AIO plans for WordPress start at $1,299 per month. The final rate depends on site size, keyword competition, technical condition, and content volume. Digital PR and extra content are scoped separately as add-ons.

How long does WordPress SEO take?

Expect noticeable movement in 3–6 months. Highly competitive industries or keywords can take a year or more. We set milestones during onboarding and report against them monthly.

Can you preserve SEO during a WordPress redesign?

During a rebuild, redirects, metadata, and schema are carried through and tested at launch. No redesign is risk-free, so we scope those SEO requirements before development starts.

Do you guarantee WordPress rankings?

No. Google's algorithm is not for sale. We commit to agreed KPIs, transparent monthly reporting, and a month-to-month engagement — not a guaranteed position.

We will review the crawl, templates, plugins, content workflow, and migration risk before scoping the plan.
