WordPress SEO Audit
WordPress is brilliant for SEO when it’s set up properly, and quietly costly when it isn’t. I’ll go through your website, plugins and settings, then give you a clear, prioritised list of what to fix, in plain English.

Sound Familiar?
Most WordPress SEO problems don’t announce themselves. They sit quietly in the settings, holding your website back for months or years.
Your website used to bring in visitors and enquiries, but the numbers have been sliding and you don’t know why.
You’ve published pages or posts that never seem to appear in search, however long you wait.
Years of plugins, page builders and oversized images have left your website heavy, especially on phones.
All green lights in Yoast or Rank Math, yet you’re still nowhere to be found for the searches that matter.
What I Check
Every audit goes through the parts of WordPress that most often cause problems, using Search Console data, crawling tools and a proper look under the bonnet.
What You Get
Plenty of SEO audits are hundred-page exports from a tool. Mine are written by a person, for a person.
Every issue explained in plain English, ranked by how much it’s likely to matter, so you know where to start.
We go through the findings together, and you can ask anything you like about what I’ve found.
Use the report to fix things yourself or with your developer, or I can quote to put everything right for you.
If your website is in good shape, I’ll say so. Not every WordPress website needs months of SEO work.
Pricing
The cost of a WordPress SEO audit depends on the size of your website. Tell me a little about it and I’ll give you a fixed price before I start. No hourly meter running.
Indexing, SEO plugin settings, speed, structure, security and local signals, all checked and explained.
Why Me
I’ve built WordPress websites for over fifteen years and worked in SEO for most of that time, publishing my own search research along the way. I know where WordPress goes wrong because I spend my days building it properly.
He’s very thorough in his research and advice and always makes solid recommendations that give results.

The Process
Four steps, and you’ll always know what’s happening and why.
Tell me about your website, what’s changed and what you’re hoping to achieve.
You give me access to Search Console and, ideally, your WordPress dashboard. Read-only is fine.
I crawl your website, review your data and go through WordPress settings, plugins and content.
You get a prioritised report, and we go through it together so you know exactly what to do next.

Questions
Something else on your mind? Ring or WhatsApp me. You’ll get a real answer from me, not a sales script.
It depends on the size of your website. I’ll give you a fixed price once I know a little about it, before any work starts.
Access to Google Search Console is the most useful thing. Access to your WordPress dashboard helps too, and I’ll only look, not change anything, unless you ask me to.
If you’d like me to, yes. I’ll quote to fix everything in the report, or you can use it with your own developer. If you’d rather hand over the upkeep entirely, see my hosting and maintenance.
SEO plugins check individual pages against a simple checklist. They don’t spot indexing problems, pages competing with each other, slow themes or the wider issues that usually hold a website back.
A WordPress SEO audit focuses on the settings, plugins and themes specific to WordPress. A technical SEO audit covers any platform in more depth.
It’s a good starting point. If the drop was sudden and severe, see Google penalty recovery as well.
No. I’ll audit any WordPress website, whoever built it.
Usually not. Most problems can be fixed on your current website. If a rebuild really is the better option, I’ll explain why, and a redesign keeps the rankings you already have.
