WordPress SEO Services

WordPress SEO follows the same core principles as regular SEO, but the implementation is different. WordPress sites often need platform-specific work like plugin cleanup, theme performance improvements, database optimization, schema setup, redirect management, indexation fixes, and Core Web Vitals improvements.

Because Hog the Web works directly inside WordPress, we don’t just send you a list of recommendations. We actually log in, diagnose the issue, and fix it.

A good WordPress SEO company should understand both search strategy and the technical realities of WordPress. Look for an agency that can diagnose ranking opportunities, implement changes directly on your site, show exactly what work was completed, and demonstrate results from real WordPress websites.

Hog the Web combines SEO strategy with hands-on WordPress development, so our team can handle on-page optimization, technical SEO, content, backlinks, analytics, and implementation without passing recommendations between separate agencies or developers.

The right way to add SEO keywords to WordPress is to map one primary topic/search intent, plus relevant secondary terms and entities, to each important page. Then those ideas should be worked naturally into the page title, H1, headings, intro copy, image alt text, internal links, and meta description.

Keyword stuffing does more harm than good. The goal is clear, useful content that both people and search systems can understand.

On-page SEO for WordPress is the process of improving an individual page so it is easier for both people and search engines to understand. This usually includes the SEO title, meta description, H1, H2/H3 structure, image optimization, schema markup, internal links, content clarity, and search intent alignment.

For existing WordPress pages, we also look for missing sections, vague copy, poor calls-to-action, and opportunities to make the page more useful and more likely to convert.

Yes. We handle technical SEO fixes directly inside WordPress whenever possible. That can include crawl and indexation issues, broken links, redirects, canonical tags, XML sitemaps, schema validation, Core Web Vitals, image optimization, plugin bloat, JavaScript/CSS issues, mobile performance, SSL problems, and Google Search Console configuration.

For example, Overwatch’s PageSpeed performance score improved from 74 to 95 and Semrush Site Health improved from 82% to 93% during our focused SEO work.

Yes. A sudden traffic drop can come from many causes, including a Google update, lost rankings, broken redirects, removed content, tracking issues, indexing problems, site speed issues, malware, or a redesign that damaged SEO signals.

In our Imhoff case study, a bad redesign took organic traffic from 300+ visits/day to under 10. After we restored the lost search footprint and rebuilt the site, traffic returned to roughly 300/day within about a month and tracked conversions were 75% higher than the original site.

SEO timelines vary based on competition, your current website, existing rankings, content quality, backlinks, and how much work is done each month. Some quick-win opportunities can show movement sooner, especially when a page is already ranking but underperforming. Bigger gains usually take consistent work over several months.

Our work is organized into 30-day implementation sprints, but that does not mean SEO results are guaranteed in 30 days. The results typically compound across multiple sprints.

Yes. Hog the Web SEO plans are structured around 30-day sprints with no long-term lock-in. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel monthly.

That keeps the focus where it should be: clear deliverables, visible progress, and SEO work that makes sense for your business right now.

Yes. In many cases, improving an existing service page is one of the best places to start. If a page already has impressions, rankings, backlinks, or traffic, it may be closer to producing results than a brand-new page.

We can improve the keyword targeting, title tag, meta description, headings, copy, internal links, schema, images, entity context, and call-to-action so the page has a better chance to rank and convert.

Yes. We approach AI search as an extension of good search strategy, not a separate bag of tricks. That includes strengthening entity relationships, publishing useful middle- and bottom-of-funnel context around your company and services, structured content and schema, internal links, digital PR, relevant backlinks and brand mentions, and monitoring available AI citation/referral signals.

There is no secret “ChatGPT ranking switch.” The goal is to make your brand and content clearer, more useful, better corroborated across the web, and easier for search systems to understand and surface.

Yes. Our primary case studies include Imhoff (a 97% traffic crash recovered, with tracked conversions +75% vs. the original site), Overwatch (+207% non-branded organic clicks), and Applied Marketing Science (+49.9% homepage engagement rate and +253% visible query footprint in the first 42 days).

We also keep additional examples on this page, including Catchlight Painting’s 448 → 1,484 ranking-keyword footprint and a Dr. William Li article that generated 2,871 organic clicks. Past results do not guarantee the same outcome for every website.

Yes. Local SEO can be included when it fits the campaign. That may include Google Business Profile improvements, location pages, local keyword targeting, business citations, internal linking, local authority signals, and service-area content.

For local businesses, we look at both the website and the wider search footprint, including Google Maps, directory listings, reviews, and other places customers may find you.

Rankings and traffic matter, but they are not the whole story. We also look at qualified leads, calls, form submissions, click-through rate, impressions, indexed pages, non-branded discovery, technical site health, conversion performance, and visibility across AI and answer-driven search.

The real question is not just, “Are more people visiting?” It is, “Are the right people finding you, trusting you, and contacting you?”

Hog the Web is a WordPress-first SEO company with a productized, transparent approach. Instead of vague retainers and mystery reports, we define the work clearly: pages optimized, assets created, links built, technical issues fixed, and progress reported.

We also handle implementation inside WordPress, not just the strategy. That means fewer handoffs, fewer excuses, and a clearer path from SEO diagnosis to actual improvement.
