Make Your WordPress Website Easier to Find and Choose

Search Geek Solutions provides WordPress SEO services to help more of the right visitors understand your offer and inquire. Our SEO as Science approach uses proprietary methods to connect technical review, useful content and the website experience. For local businesses, that work can support Google Maps strategy and efforts toward visibility in Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT, alongside Google Ads management, with implementation and channel scope agreed around the business.

Tell us about your site and priorities. We’ll discuss the work and agree the next step.

One site. Connected decisions.

From a site problem to a useful next step

Know what the work should leave you with

The useful output is a decision you can act on: what needs attention, what to change and who will take it forward. Agree the deliverables and implementation responsibilities for your site before work starts.

Priorities with a reason
Research and technical findings connected to the services and pages that matter to your business.
Page and template recommendations
Content, metadata and internal-link changes, with page-level work distinguished from shared theme or plugin changes.
Agreed changes and the next priorities
Implementation within the contracted scope, followed by reporting that connects the available evidence to the next recommendation.

The documented client results retain their channels, comparison periods and measurement limits. They demonstrate agency work, not WordPress-specific outcomes.

Review the system, not just a plugin score

Connect the issue, the action and the output

A useful plan separates site-wide constraints from individual page improvements. These examples show how the review areas inform recommendations; the agreed scope determines which work is implemented.

WordPress review areas and illustrative client outputs
Issue or decisionWhat we review or recommendExample client output
Important pages are hard to findReview crawl access, index settings, XML sitemaps, canonical URLs and internal links. Check how WordPress archives and duplicate URL versions affect which pages should appear in search.A recommendation for the affected URLs: what should be discoverable, which issue to address and what needs checking after a change.
A service page leaves buyers with questionsConnect keyword research to the services you actually sell. Improve titles, descriptions, useful answers and relevant links so a visitor can understand the offer and choose a next step.Page-specific content and metadata recommendations tied to a real service and a clear customer action.
The same problem appears across templatesA shared template can repeat a heading, thin content or a technical error across many pages. Identify whether the change belongs in the page editor, theme, builder or SEO plugin before editing.A recommendation that identifies the shared source of the issue and the access or developer involvement needed to address it.
The mobile journey feels slow or difficultReview image delivery, page weight and the effects of theme and plugin output. Consider Core Web Vitals alongside readable mobile layouts and working customer paths.Performance and usability findings connected to the affected page or component, with an agreed next investigation or change.

Yoast and other metadata plugins are tools, not a substitute for strategy. Hosting and third-party code can limit what a page-level change achieves.

Changing a site without losing its purpose

Plan the migration before the redesign

Important URLs, useful content and existing links should inform a rebuild. A migration review identifies what to retain, what needs a redirect and what must be tested after launch.

Changing a theme or page builder is not an SEO reset. Agree on URL mapping, content preservation, canonical and sitemap checks, and post-launch measurement before making the switch.

Agree who can change what

Confirm WordPress, hosting and plugin access, a backup and staging route, and responsibility for approving and deploying changes. Work within the site's actual technical constraints rather than assuming every template is editable.

Custom development, a full redesign, plugin licenses and migration execution need an agreed scope. Do not assume they are included in routine page optimization.

From goals to agreed action

  1. Set the context. Share your website, priority services and markets, current problems and any planned site changes. Confirm the access needed for the agreed work.
  2. Choose priorities. Connect the findings to the business goal and decide which content, template or technical issue to address first.
  3. Assign implementation. Agree which changes SGS will handle, which need your developer or hosting provider, and who will test, approve and deploy them.
  4. Review and continue. Use the dashboard, SEO Insights and next-month recommendations to assess the available evidence and decide what happens next.

AI discovery

Make business information easier to verify

Useful service explanations, accessible answers and consistent business facts support both people and AI-assisted search. On WordPress, that means checking the content customers can actually read, not simply adding a plugin or generating more pages.

Keep the source behind claims, people, services and locations clear. Review available AI referral evidence separately from organic search and direct traffic. A referral is not proof that every answer cites the business.

There is no guarantee of inclusion, a citation or a position in an AI answer. Dedicated prompt tracking and expanded AI campaigns require a separately agreed scope.

Reporting that informs a decision

Connect the dashboard to the next improvement

The reporting approach brings together a custom Data Studio dashboard, an SEO Insights accompaniment and next-month recommendations. The measures depend on your services, agreed goals and available verified data.

Three outputs, one decision

Custom Data Studio dashboard
See the relevant measures with their source and reporting period: organic visits, tracked website inquiries, Google Business Profile actions and observable AI referrals.
SEO Insights accompaniment
Understand what changed and what it may mean for the services you want to grow, rather than reading an unexplained chart.
Next-month recommendations
Choose a content improvement, template fix or technical investigation based on the evidence and agreed priorities.

Clicks and form events are not unique assessed leads; leads are not booked jobs or revenue. Search visibility share is not actual market share. Consent restrictions, untracked calls and missing sales data can leave attribution gaps, so the interpretation stays within the evidence.

Pricing and next step

Choose scope before choosing a package

WordPress is the platform, not a fixed-price SEO package. Your market, current site condition, content needs and implementation responsibilities determine the appropriate proposal.

Know the inclusions and exclusions

The current local-plan comparison includes content and priority-page work, local foundations and reporting within agreed limits. Local SEO plans have a six-month minimum; that is not a universal term for every WordPress project.

Setup, broader-market work, extra profiles, major development and work outside the agreed scope are separate. Detailed fees remain on the pricing page and are confirmed in the written proposal.

A full redesign or migration is not automatically included. The periodic website-refresh concept on Pricing is under review, not an available free-redesign offer.

Before we discuss your site

Do we have to replace our SEO plugin?

Not by default. The production setup and what needs to change should guide that decision. Review existing configuration and overlapping plugins before adding another tool or changing ownership of metadata.

Can you work with our developer?

Discuss who will implement, test and approve changes as part of the scope. Some recommendations belong in content; others require theme, hosting or custom-development access. Responsibilities should be clear before work starts.

What should I bring to the conversation?

Your website address, priority services and markets, current problems and any planned redesign or migration. Do not send passwords or sensitive customer records through an enquiry form.

Does SEO require a rebuild or migration?

A rebuild is not the starting assumption. Review the existing pages, templates and technical constraints first. If a theme or builder change is planned, agree URL mapping, content preservation, canonical and sitemap checks, testing and post-launch measurement. Migration execution and a full redesign require their own agreed scope.

What deliverables should we agree?

Agree the priorities, page or template recommendations, implementation responsibilities and reporting needed for your site. The examples above explain the type of output; your written proposal sets the actual work and limits.

What access and approvals are needed?

The work may need WordPress, hosting or plugin access. Agree a backup and staging route and identify who approves and deploys changes. Arrange access through the agreed project process, not by sending passwords through the enquiry form.
