01WordPress SEO
SEO that starts in the code.
WordPress SEO works best when the person doing it can also change the code. Because we build WordPress websites as well as optimise them, we can fix problems at the source: slow themes, heavy plugins, messy markup and missing schema, rather than just reporting them.
Alongside the WordPress specific technical work, we cover the rest of what makes a site rank: on-page SEO, content, local SEO and plain-English monthly reporting. No reputable agency can guarantee rankings. We promise sound practice and measurable progress.

Can't see your question? Just ask. We still answer the phone.It is search engine optimisation for a WordPress website: getting your site set up, fast and well structured so it ranks in Google, then building the content and authority that bring in the right visitors. On WordPress that includes the theme, the plugins and the settings, as well as the pages themselves.
Yes. WordPress is flexible and search friendly, but a heavy theme, too many plugins and poor setup can hold it back. Built and configured properly, it is a strong platform for SEO.
Most WordPress sites benefit from one to manage titles, descriptions, sitemaps and schema. We use Rank Math. It is only a tool, though. The results depend on how it is set up and what is done with it.
SEO is a long-term strategy. Most businesses see noticeable improvements in 3-6 months, with significant results in 6-12 months. Technical fixes can help sooner, but the biggest gains build over time.
No reputable SEO agency can guarantee specific rankings. Google's algorithm is constantly evolving. What we do promise is sound best practice, transparency, and measurable improvements in traffic and visibility.
It depends on your site, your market and your competitors, so we start with a free audit and quote from that. You will know the cost before any work starts.
Usually only where it helps. SEO often means improving page content, site speed and technical issues, and adding new pages. We make changes carefully to preserve your design while improving search performance.
Yes, when it is done properly. Your content and images come across, and every old URL is redirected to its new page, so you keep the Google rankings you have earned.
No. We are based in Maldon, Essex, work from a co-working space in Rayleigh and visit clients across the county for face to face meetings. We also work with clients across the UK and the USA over Zoom.
