Our WordPress SEO Services
Our WordPress SEO campaigns combine technical optimisation, content improvements and authority building, with each area shaped around how your website is built and what you need to rank for.
WordPress SEO Audits
We review your WordPress website to identify the technical, structural and content issues affecting organic visibility.
This includes crawlability, indexing, Core Web Vitals, page structure, internal linking, content quality and how your important pages are performing in Google Search Console.
Keyword Research & Strategy
We identify the searches most relevant to your products or services, then map primary and secondary keywords to the pages best suited to rank for them.
The aim is to give each important page a clear search intent rather than having multiple pages competing for the same terms.
On-Page SEO
We optimise individual WordPress pages around their target searches, including titles, meta descriptions, headings, content structure, internal links and schema where appropriate.
We also review how pages connect across the website so stronger pages can support those that need greater visibility.
Technical WordPress SEO
We investigate technical issues that can prevent Google from crawling, understanding or ranking your WordPress website effectively.
This can include indexing problems, canonical tags, redirects, XML sitemaps, Core Web Vitals, theme performance and conflicts caused by plugins or site configuration.
Content Strategy & Optimisation
We identify gaps in your existing content and opportunities for new service pages, landing pages and supporting articles.
Existing content can also be reviewed and improved where pages are underperforming, overlap with other URLs, or no longer match search intent.
Link Building & Authority
We build links from relevant third-party websites to strengthen the authority of important pages and support rankings for competitive searches.
Campaigns are planned around the pages and topics that need additional authority rather than treating link building as a standalone numbers exercise.
SEO Reporting & Tracking
We track organic performance using Google Search Console, Google Analytics and keyword data so you can see how rankings, traffic and enquiries are changing.
Reporting focuses on the pages and searches that matter commercially, alongside the work completed during the campaign.
WordPress SEO Pricing
Our ongoing WordPress SEO campaigns start from £1,300 per month, with the scope based on your website, competition and the amount of work required. Before starting, we’ll explain exactly what is included, which areas of the website will be prioritised and what we recommend focusing on first.

Why Choose Cude Design for WordPress SEO?
Our SEO team works directly with WordPress every day, combining search expertise with the technical knowledge needed to make changes properly rather than simply producing recommendations.
WordPress Expertise
We have worked with WordPress for more than 16 years, giving us a detailed understanding of how themes, plugins, page builders, hosting and custom development can affect SEO performance.
Technical SEO We Can Implement
Because WordPress development is handled in-house, we can investigate and implement technical changes involving templates, redirects, structured data, performance, indexing and other platform-specific issues.
SEO Beyond Technical Fixes
Our campaigns also cover keyword targeting, page optimisation, content, internal linking and link building, allowing us to work across the different factors affecting organic visibility.
Clear Reporting
We use Google Search Console, Google Analytics and ranking data to show how important pages and searches are performing, alongside the work completed during each stage of the campaign.
Understanding WordPress SEO
What Is WordPress SEO?
WordPress SEO is the process of improving a WordPress website so search engines can crawl, understand and rank its pages more effectively.
It combines technical SEO, on-page optimisation, content, internal linking and authority building. On WordPress, this also means understanding how themes, plugins, page builders, site structure and hosting can affect organic performance.
A well-optimised WordPress website should make it easier for search engines to understand which pages are important, what each page is targeting and how the content across the site fits together.
-
Slow Website Performance
Heavy themes, unnecessary plugins, large images and poor hosting can affect Core Web Vitals, crawling and the overall user experience.
-
Poor Keyword Targeting
Pages without a clear search intent can struggle to rank, while multiple pages targeting the same terms can end up competing with each other.
-
Weak or Overlapping Content
Thin, outdated or duplicated content can make it difficult for Google to understand which pages should rank for important searches.
-
Technical SEO Issues
Incorrect canonicals, redirect problems, indexing settings, XML sitemaps and plugin configuration can prevent important WordPress pages from performing properly.
-
Weak Internal Linking
Important pages can be difficult for both users and search engines to find when the internal linking structure does not reflect the priorities of the website.
-
Limited Website Authority
Competitive searches often require relevant backlinks and external authority alongside strong technical SEO and content.

Common Questions
WordPress SEO: Frequently Asked Questions
How long does WordPress SEO take to show results?
SEO timescales depend on the current website, competition, target keywords, and the amount of work required.
Some improvements can appear relatively quickly after technical or on-page changes, while more competitive searches usually require sustained work across content, links and site authority.
What is the difference between WordPress SEO and general SEO?
The core principles are the same, but WordPress introduces platform-specific considerations involving themes, plugins, page builders, site structure, performance and indexing settings.
Working with WordPress every day means we can identify and implement issues that a general SEO agency may simply pass back to a developer.
Do you work on existing WordPress websites?
Yes. Most WordPress SEO projects involve established websites rather than new builds.
We can review the existing structure, content, rankings and technical setup, then prioritise the changes most likely to improve organic performance.
What does a WordPress SEO audit include?
Our audits can cover technical SEO, indexing, keyword targeting, page structure, content, internal linking, Core Web Vitals, backlinks and competitor performance.
You receive prioritised recommendations explaining what should be addressed first.
How do you measure WordPress SEO performance?
We use Google Search Console, Google Analytics and keyword tracking to monitor rankings, organic traffic and the performance of important landing pages.
Where conversion tracking is available, we can also monitor enquiries or other commercial actions generated through organic search.
How much do WordPress SEO services cost?
Our one-off WordPress SEO audit is £700.
Ongoing campaigns currently start from £1,300 per month, with larger campaigns available where more content, link building and ongoing optimisation are required.
