SEO For WordPress Websites

Are you running a WordPress website and want to make sure it’s set up to actually rank on Google? WordPress powers a huge share of the web, which means the platform itself isn’t a ranking advantage — how it’s configured is what matters. Bloated plugins, slow themes, poor site structure, and conflicting SEO plugins can all quietly hold a WordPress site back, no matter how good the content is.

I help WordPress site owners fix the technical issues that matter, get the fundamentals right (site speed, structured data, indexation, internal linking), and build a content strategy that turns organic traffic into enquiries, sign-ups, or sales. Whether you’re running a simple business site, a blog, or WooCommerce on top of WordPress, I build an SEO approach around your specific set-up.

Get in touch today and let’s discuss how I can help your WordPress site get found.

Why Hire Me As Your SEO Consultant?

With over 14 years’ experience in SEO consultancy, I’ve worked with a broad spectrum of businesses across various industries, from start-ups to international brands — helping drive visits, increase bookings, and achieve goals for their websites.

WordPress sites bring their own SEO considerations: choosing and configuring the right SEO plugin (Yoast, Rank Math, or similar), avoiding plugin bloat that slows your site down, managing category/tag structures that can create duplicate content if left unchecked, and making sure your theme isn’t working against your Core Web Vitals. I focus on getting these fundamentals right before building on top of them.

Let Lacuna 5 Take Care of the SEO for Your WordPress Site

Between plugin updates, theme changes, and general site maintenance, WordPress already comes with its own to-do list — and SEO is often the item that keeps getting pushed to “next week.”

Let me take it off your hands. I’ll handle the technical audits, the plugin and theme review, the content, and the reporting — so you can focus on running your business, not troubleshooting your website.

No jargon, no confusing reports you need a translator for — just clear, honest updates on what’s being done and the impact it’s having on your traffic and enquiries.

WordPress SEO FAQs

How much does WordPress SEO cost?

Costs depend on the size and complexity of your site, how it’s currently set up, and what you’re aiming to achieve. Get in touch for a tailored quote.

Which SEO plugin should I use — Yoast or Rank Math?

Both are capable; the right choice depends on your existing set-up and what you need it to do. I can review your site and advise on the best fit rather than a one-size-fits-all answer.

Does my WordPress theme affect my SEO?

Yes — theme quality has a big impact on site speed and Core Web Vitals, both of which are ranking factors. A poorly coded or overly bloated theme can hold back an otherwise well-optimised site.

I have lots of plugins installed — is that a problem?

It can be. Too many plugins, especially ones that overlap in function, can slow your site down and sometimes conflict with each other. Part of my process includes auditing what’s actually needed.

Can you help if my site is WooCommerce, not just a standard WordPress site?

Yes — WooCommerce sites have their own SEO considerations on top of standard WordPress ones, and I factor that in as part of the audit and strategy.
