WordPress SEO Services

Most WordPress SEO problems are not content problems. They are two SEO plugins fighting over the same meta box, a page builder outputting div soup where a heading should be, image sizes nobody has touched since 2021, and schema that was set once and never checked against what the page actually says now. A generic audit lists these as line items. Fixing them means knowing WordPress from the plugin conflict up, which is the part most SEO agencies skip and most WordPress developers were never asked to think about as an SEO problem.

The problem is usually the install, not the content

A WordPress site accumulates SEO debt the way any actively maintained system does: one plugin at a time, one theme update at a time, one "quick fix" that never got revisited. By the time someone notices rankings sliding, the causes are rarely one thing.

Plugin stacking cancels itself outTwo SEO plugins, a page builder with its own meta box, and a caching plugin all writing conflicting title tags, canonical URLs, or schema. Nobody notices until Search Console flags duplicate content.
Page builders bury the outlineElementor and similar tools happily let an editor make a paragraph look like a heading, or nest six divs where an `<h2>` should sit. It reads fine to a human. It reads as a flat, headingless wall to a crawler.
Core Web Vitals rot silentlyEvery new plugin adds a script. Every theme update adds a font. Nobody benchmarks load time again until a migration or algorithm update makes the slow-creep damage visible all at once.

What we do for WordPress SEO

Three phases, and the same person handling the diagnosis and the implementation, because on WordPress those two things are rarely separable.

  1. 01

    WordPress SEO & AI Visibility Audit

    A full pass through your install, not just your content: plugin and theme conflicts, redirect chains left over from old migrations, Core Web Vitals, and how your pages actually render to a crawler versus how they look in the editor. Paired with a citation check across Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude for your priority queries.

    • Plugin and theme conflict audit
    • Core Web Vitals and hosting review
    • Schema audit against Rank Math, Yoast, or AIOSEO output
    • Page builder markup and heading structure review
    • AI citation check across major answer engines
    • Prioritized fix list ranked by effort and impact
  2. 02

    Technical Fixes & Implementation

    The part most audits hand off to someone else. We fix it directly: resolve plugin conflicts, rebuild templates so headings and schema come from the theme instead of an editor's memory, clean up redirect chains, and get Core Web Vitals back under control without ripping out the site your team already knows how to use.

    • Plugin conflict resolution and consolidation
    • Core Web Vitals fixes at the theme and hosting level
    • Schema wired into templates, not re-typed per page
    • Redirect and internal link cleanup
    • Page builder markup remediation
  3. 03

    Ongoing WordPress SEO

    Monthly support that keeps the fixes from decaying the way they got broken in the first place: one plugin update at a time. Content, technical monitoring, and AI citation tracking under one retainer.

    • Monthly technical health check
    • Content built for both ranking and citation
    • Plugin update monitoring for SEO-breaking changes
    • AI citation tracking and monthly reporting

Why this needs someone who knows WordPress, not just SEO

Wbcom Designs has built WordPress products and client sites for ten years. That is the actual argument for hiring us over a generic SEO agency for a WordPress-specific problem.

We can read a plugin conflict, not just report itKnowing that two plugins are both writing canonical tags is one thing. Knowing which one to keep, and why the other one exists on your site in the first place, is a different skill.
Fixes ship in your stack, not a rebuildCore Web Vitals and schema problems get fixed in your theme and your plugin config. We do not default to "replace your site" because that is the only lever we have.
The AI SEO layer is native, not bolted onThis is the same team that runs AISEOShift. Answer-engine visibility work is not a rebrand of a generic SEO package, it is what the rest of this site is built around.
