Why WordPress SEO requires specialist knowledge

WordPress powers 43% of the web — but most WordPress sites have significant SEO issues created by incorrect plugin configuration, accumulated plugin bloat, poor theme choices, and years of content published without a coherent keyword strategy.

The most common UK WordPress SEO problems: Yoast or RankMath configured with incorrect canonical settings, tag and category archive pages creating thin content at scale, images not compressed (destroying Core Web Vitals), and page builders (Elementor, Divi, WPBakery) adding JavaScript weight that slows load time to Google-penalising levels.

What's included

Every engagement covers these core service areas — adapted to your industry and stage.

WordPress Technical Audit

Yoast/RankMath configuration review, noindex audit, canonical tag check, archive page strategy, Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP), and plugin performance analysis.

Core Web Vitals for WordPress

LCP optimisation (image compression, preloading, lazy load), CLS fixes (explicit image dimensions, no layout shift fonts), and INP improvement (defer non-critical JS, remove unused plugins).

WordPress Schema Implementation

FAQPage, Article, LocalBusiness, Product, or ProfessionalService schema via Yoast settings or custom JSON-LD — enabling rich results in UK search snippets.

UK Keyword Strategy for WordPress

Keyword mapping for your WordPress site's existing pages — identifying which pages to optimise for which UK keywords, and which new pages to create.

Content Architecture Audit

Review of your WordPress category and tag structure to eliminate thin archive pages and consolidate keyword targets into a coherent content silo strategy.

Page Builder Optimisation

Elementor, Divi, and WPBakery are common causes of slow WordPress sites. I identify the performance impact and recommend the lightest migration path.

Frequently asked questions

What WordPress SEO plugin do you recommend — Yoast or RankMath?

Both are excellent. Yoast is more controlled and better for teams — fewer settings that can cause issues. RankMath is more feature-rich for advanced users. I configure either correctly; the plugin matters less than the configuration.

Can Elementor be used without hurting SEO?

Yes — with proper configuration. Elementor's performance mode significantly reduces its JS/CSS footprint. The key is not using Elementor's full global widget library on every page and compressing all images through an optimisation plugin.
