NOTE: For many small businesses in a localised niche market, the initial SEO works will be sufficient to lift multiple keyword phrase rankings into the first page of results. For that reason, as a specialist WordPress SEO consultant, I don’t propose long-term monthly payments at the outset.

NOTE: The initial fee covers the initial work AND at least 3 months of follow-up efforts, fine-tuning and reporting by a WordPress SEO specialist consultant.

Once we have assessed the impact of the initial work. I may recommend what we should do in the follow-up stages as/if required.

Optional Works

To follow up on the initial on-site efforts it might in some cases be helpful, even necessary, to either / both:

  • Implement an Off-page SEO process of Citation (links) building in an effort to improve the quality/quantity of incoming links to your website. Enhance your Google’s My Business account verified listing – or create one…
  • Implement Place Search SEO & Schema for WordPress techniques, to achieve better Map 3 Pack results, and improve your chances of Rich Snippets and Sitelinks display using Schema Pro or WP Structured Data.

Building Citation Links

Because SEO is usually a two-part process: On-Site (On-Page) and Off-Site (Off-Page), your WordPress SEO specialist will advise if your circumstances require attention to incoming links (backlinks). This may be recommended by our SEO agency if there are insufficient citations containing your NAP data (name, address, phone).

Citation Building costs: $700

This is a “one-off” cost for an Off-page SEO citation-building project to expand your backlinks profile with high-quality links from reputable websites. This underpins your Map 3-Pack rankings with a mix of Dofollow, Nofollow and References links…

As part of the initial website technical audit, a WordPress SEO specialist will have already assessed the incoming link portfolio. If there are too many low-quality (or toxic) links to your site, Google can automatically demote your website. Efforts to remove such links may be necessary, coupled with disavowing them.

Too few links are also an impediment, and we may need to build citations (links) to your website from reputable sources.

WP SEO Tools

WordPress SEO plugin applications are where the powerful WP CMS  really comes into its own! Multiple choices of excellent “plugins” provide solutions to all the issues mentioned above. There are SEO plugins which;

  • Manually (or dynamically) generate unique Titles and Descriptions across pages and posts (Yoast SEO)
  • Automatically generates Google XML Site Maps, and updates that at every page edit (Yoast SEO)
  • Auto-generates HTML Site Maps, and updates as pages/posts are added (Simple Sitemaps)
  • Creates Table of Contents on pages, and updates as pages/posts are revised
  • Image compression & optimisation with Shortpixel
  • Improvements to page load speeds by “lazy loading” images
  • Improves page load times by high-speed caching (WP Rocket Cache)
  • Wordfence security to prevent malware insertion that gets your site blacklisted on Google

SEF URLs (Search-engine-friendly page file names) are implemented by the Permalinks function in Admin / Settings / Permalinks. The recommended option is /%postname%/ because it is fast, accurate and generates minimal page load overhead. Turning this on auto-generates a mod_rewrite code block inserted into the website’s .htaccess file.

As your WordPress SEO specialist optimises your site, he installs and configures a well-tested suite of robust SEO plugins. This ensures we are generating optimised and accurately categorised pages and posts across the entire site. Included (but not limited to) are;

  • Yoast SEO with Google XML Sitemaps activated
  • WP Sitemaps or Simple Sitemaps (HTML)
  • Caching, image optimising
  • Web Application Firewall (WAF) & Brute Force Login Security
  • Review the quantity and quality of inbound links/citations for over-optimisation
  • Assess deviation from “normal” link profile and potential for Penguin penalty
  • Recommend link improvement strategy

As professional optimisers with more than a decade of providing WordPress SEO services, we know exactly what works and what does not.
