WordPress SEO
A studio service
WordPress SEO without the plugin bloat.
WordPress can rank beautifully — or drown under a dozen plugins, a heavy page builder, and a theme that fails Core Web Vitals. We build and maintain WordPress sites, so we fix the SEO at the source instead of stacking another plugin on top.
N° 01Why WordPress underperforms
Flexible. Easily bloated.
WordPress powers a huge share of the web because it's flexible — but that flexibility is how sites get slow. Page builders like Elementor and Divi ship heavy markup, plugins pile up and conflict, and a well-meaning SEO plugin gets installed and never configured.
We build on WordPress, so we treat the SEO as an engineering problem: trim the bloat, fix the Core Web Vitals, structure the content properly, and configure the SEO plugin the way it was meant to be — then keep it healthy.
01
Speed & Core Web Vitals
Page-builder overhead, render-blocking assets, unoptimised images, and plugin bloat diagnosed and fixed — the biggest lever on most WordPress sites.
02
Plugin & builder cleanup
Auditing what each plugin costs you, removing conflicts and dead weight, and taming page-builder markup so pages are lean and crawlable.
03
Schema & rich results
Article, FAQ, Breadcrumb, and Organization JSON-LD implemented correctly — through your SEO plugin or in the theme where that's cleaner.
04
Content structure
Heading hierarchy, internal linking, category/tag architecture, and cannibalisation cleanup so your posts support each other.
05
SEO plugin config
Yoast or Rank Math configured properly — titles, canonicals, sitemaps, and indexation rules — instead of left on defaults.
06
Technical hygiene
Crawl and indexation control, redirect management, and the .htaccess / server-level fixes that plugins can't reach.
Investment
Clear scope. Clear price.
SEO is a compounding investment — audits are one-off, growth work runs monthly. Every engagement starts with a fixed scope so you always know the number before we begin.

Questions
The answers we give most often.
- Why is my WordPress site slow and not ranking?
- Almost always bloat: a heavy page builder, too many plugins, unoptimised images, and an SEO plugin left on defaults. WordPress can be fast and rank well — we strip the weight and fix the technical foundation rather than adding another plugin.
- Do you use Yoast or Rank Math?
- Either — whichever you already have. The plugin isn't the problem; leaving it unconfigured is. We set up titles, canonicals, sitemaps, schema, and indexation rules properly, then keep them that way.
- Can you speed up an Elementor or Divi site?
- Yes. Page builders are a common Core Web Vitals culprit. We reduce their overhead, fix render-blocking assets and images, and where it's worth it, rebuild key templates leaner.
- Will you break my site?
- No. We work on staging first, QA every change, and keep backups. Because we maintain WordPress sites, cleanup without breakage is routine work for us.
- Do you write the content too?
- We can. Our retainer includes SEO content and briefs, and our dedicated SEO content-writing service covers larger content programmes.
