WordPress SEO
The world's most popular CMS — optimised correctly.
What's included
WordPress powers over 40% of the web — which means most of the SEO mistakes I see are WordPress mistakes. Bloated plugins, misconfigured Yoast settings, unoptimised images slowing down Core Web Vitals, duplicate content from category and tag archives, theme code that confuses Googlebot. I audit, fix, and optimise WordPress sites from the ground up.
WordPress is flexible enough to be perfectly optimised or catastrophically broken for SEO — and the line between them is thin. Most WordPress site owners install Yoast or Rank Math and think they're done. They're not. The plugin is a tool, not a strategy. I provide the strategy, implement it correctly, and fix the technical issues that plugins can't catch.

Common questions
I already have Yoast installed. Do I still need WordPress SEO help?
Almost certainly yes. Yoast and Rank Math are tools — they surface SEO fields and handle some automation, but they don't make SEO decisions for you. The most common WordPress SEO problems I fix are not plugin-related: they're architectural, content, or performance issues that no plugin can diagnose.
My WordPress site is slow. Can you fix that?
Yes. Page speed is a Core Web Vitals factor and a direct ranking signal. I diagnose the root cause of slowness — unoptimised images, render-blocking scripts, no caching, bloated themes, bad hosting — and provide a prioritised remediation plan with developer-ready instructions.
Do you work with page builders like Elementor or Divi?
Yes, though I'll be honest: page builders often introduce significant performance and SEO overhead. I work within the constraints of whatever builder you're using, and I'll flag clearly if a rebuild would significantly improve your SEO potential.
Can you migrate my WordPress site without losing rankings?
Yes. SEO-safe migrations — domain changes, HTTP to HTTPS, URL restructures — require careful redirect mapping, canonical handling, and post-migration monitoring. I've managed migrations of this type and know the specific failure points to avoid.
