Why WordPress SEO Is Different

You Need a WordPress Specialist, Not a Generic SEO Agency

WordPress powers 43% of all websites—but that doesn’t mean all SEO is the same. Your WordPress site has unique advantages and challenges that require WordPress-specific strategies.

Generic SEO agencies treat WordPress like any other platform. I optimize FOR WordPress, not just ON WordPress.

12+ years working exclusively with WordPress means I know exactly where to look and how to fix it fast.

Ongoing technical health is why many clients pair SEO with WordPress maintenance.

Local SEO for WordPress

Own your local market

When customers search for services like yours in your area, you should be the first business they see. Local SEO helps you dominate “near me” searches and capture customers with buying intent.

Why local SEO matters:

    • 46% of all Google searches are looking for local information
    • 76% of people who search for something nearby visit a business within a day
    • 28% of local searches result in a purchase
    • “Near me” searches have grown 500% in recent years

What I optimize:

    • Local visibility setup (Google Business Profile when eligible) + local trust signals
    • Local keyword targeting
    • NAP (Name, Address, Phone) consistency across the web
    • Local directory listings
    • Reviews strategy and management
    • Location-specific content

Perfect for: service-area businesses, local consultants, and businesses targeting a specific city/region (even without a storefront)

Technical SEO

Fix what’s slowing you down

Your WordPress site might look great, but if it’s slow, buggy, or hard for Google to understand, you’re losing customers and rankings every day.

What I optimize:

    • Site speed (how fast pages load)
    • Mobile responsiveness
    • Security (HTTPS, SSL certificates)
    • Crawlability (can Google access all your pages?)
    • Indexing issues
    • Site architecture and structure
    • Core Web Vitals (Google’s performance metrics)
    • WordPress-specific technical problems

If technical issues are hurting your SEO, all the content optimization in the world won’t help. You need a solid foundation first.

Content Optimization (On-Page SEO)

Make your content work harder

Your WordPress pages should be attracting customers 24/7—not sitting idle while competitors steal your traffic. I optimize every piece of content to rank higher on Google AND speak directly to your target audience.

What I optimize:

    • Title tags (what shows up in Google results)
    • Meta descriptions (the snippet below your title)
    • Header structure (H1, H2, H3)
    • Content quality and keyword targeting
    • Images (file names, alt text, compression)
    • Internal linking between related pages
    • User experience and clear CTAs

The goal: Make each page as attractive as possible to both Google AND your potential customers.

More FAQs

Having a WordPress website doesn’t mean people can find it. WordPress is SEO-friendly by design, but it still requires optimization. Without SEO, your site might be on page 10 of Google where nobody looks.

60-90 days for noticeable improvements, 4-6 months for substantial results. Anyone promising overnight rankings is lying.

No—and anyone who does is lying. Google’s algorithm has 200+ factors. What I DO guarantee: significant improvement in your site’s SEO health, increased organic traffic within 90 days, and professional, ethical SEO that follows Google guidelines.

Absolutely! About 70% of my SEO clients have WordPress sites built by someone else. I can optimize any WordPress site regardless of who built it, what theme it uses, or how old it is.

Many of these sites also benefit from a technical SEO audit before making changes.

Yes—that’s exactly what SEO does! If you have under 100 visitors/month, zero leads from organic search, or no Google rankings, SEO will make a huge difference. These clients see the most dramatic improvements because there’s so much low-hanging fruit to fix.

WordPress SEO requires platform-specific knowledge: plugin optimization, theme code quality, permalink structure, category/tag management, Core Web Vitals for WordPress, and WooCommerce SEO if you have a store. Generic agencies don’t understand these WordPress-specific issues.
