SEO for WordPress
We focus on improving the technical SEO of WordPress websites every month. WordPress SEO and Site Health go hand-in-hand. We start from the bottom and work to eradicate website errors and gradually shift to optimizing websites so that they meet the latest technical requirements from search engines.
For a flat monthly fee our team of WordPress and Technical SEO Specialists delivers consistent measurable results in a refreshingly transparent way.
Continuous Improvement. No frills.
Every WordPress website goes through a constant progression of getting healthier or falling behind. We work with clients to help them move their websites from being unhealthy to being well-optimized juggernauts that are primed for discovery in search engines.
Our team understands that any effort to climb the search engine rankings starts with a solid technical foundation that’s optimized to the exacting specifications of today’s web standards. And who better to fix the SEO errors and warnings of a website than the team that’s already protecting and enhancing websites every day through our WordPress Support plans?
Stop Being the Go-Between
Over the years we’ve watched as clients struggle to relay advice and reports from “their SEO person” to “their WordPress company”. The SEO team describes outcomes that might not even be technically possible, and the WordPress team is frustrated with the lack of context or details. And the poor client is stuck in the middle trying to manage everyone while still making progress toward their goals.
Our goal was to crush that frustration for our clients, so we tasked everyone in the company to get certified with HubSpot’s Technical SEO training. Since we were already improving the discovery and fixing issues for websites earning millions of organic monthly visitors, it made perfect sense to deliver WordPress SEO services to our clients directly, without our clients needing to be a go-between for multiple vendors.

WordPress SEO Frequently Asked Questions
What is WordPress SEO exactly?
WordPress SEO is the practice of optimizing WordPress websites to make them more search engine-friendly. A fine-tuned WordPress site can be an search visibility juggernaut compared to other platforms. This includes using relevant keywords, improving page titles and headings, ensuring content is high-quality and valuable, and making sure the website is easy to navigate. The goal is to help search engines understand the content better so that the page can rank higher in search results.
How long does it take to see results?
You’ll see results in your first month because we never perform work without it being documented and reported. Every single month you’ll get a log of all of our team’s activities, what improvements were made, how many errors and warnings were fixed, and how that improved your Ahrefs Health score.
What if my search engine rankings don’t improve?
We don’t track your search engine rankings with our WordPress SEO service. All of our focus is on improving the on-page technical SEO aspects of your WordPress website. Your Ahrefs health score will improve every month with our efforts. More than likely your rankings will climb as well because your website will have attention that many of your competitors don’t, but we don’t use rankings or traffic as benchmarks for our service.
I thought SiteCare only did WordPress. Do you do SEO too?
We want to help make business owners proud of their websites. Part of that is making sure that websites are found. The WordPress CMS and on-page technical SEO are so tightly integrated that in only makes sense we deliver both WordPress support and on-page SEO support as well. So yes, we do both!
How do you use Ahrefs in your process?
Ahrefs serves as a roadmap for continuous improvement. We start with the most critical and impactful issues that are flagged by Ahrefs, and then we stay the course until the Ahrefs site health score reaches 100. We provide detailed reporting every month to show exactly what’s changed and improved using Ahrefs.
Do I have to pay for an Ahrefs subscription separately?
The Ahrefs reporting is included in your on-page SEO services with SiteCare. There may be some crawl limitations for very large websites, but it’s not necessary to bring your own subscription or pay for that separately.
Do you provide copywriting services?
Yes, we have professional copywriters on staff who understand the intricacies of balancing language that’s easy for web crawlers to understand but that’s crafted for real people. Our copywriters focus on writing meta descriptions, headings, and even optimizing existing content for target keywords. We don’t write articles or marketing copy for websites.
Do you provide SEO strategy?
We don’t provide SEO Strategy or SEM (Search Engine Marketing) services. All of our focus is on optimizing the WordPress website itself to meet modern web standards and requirements of search engines.
How much should I budget for SiteCare to do my WordPress SEO?
WordPress SEO Support Bundles start at $1890.00 per month and grow based on client’s needs, size of website, and how aggressively they want to tackle their WordPress SEO issues.
What happens when I reach a score of 100 on Ahrefs?
Congratulations! You’ve graduated from SiteCare’s WordPress SEO Services. When our clients reach an Ahrefs Health score of 100 and all of their warnings are addressed, you’ll no longer need our services and we’ll cancel your subscription. You can come back any time for a re-check to see if your score has decreased.
