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.

The right way to add SEO keywords to WordPress is to map one primary keyword, plus related secondary terms, to each important page. Then the keyword 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. Google’s own SEO guidance focuses on creating helpful, easy-to-understand content that search engines can crawl, index, and 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.

Technical SEO is often the behind-the-scenes work that helps Google (and other crawlers) access, understand, and trust your site more reliably.

Yes. A sudden traffic drop can come from many different 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.

For example, in this SEO case study, we helped Imhoff Painting recover from under 10 daily visits, back to 300+, with leads increasing by 70% compared with 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.

Ahrefs’ polling of 3,680 marketers found that SEO commonly takes about three to six months to show results, but there is no guaranteed timeline.

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, and call-to-action so the page has a better chance to rank and convert.

Yes. We help improve your visibility across Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, and other answer engines by strengthening the same signals that make your website easier to understand and trust: clear answers, structured content, schema markup, entity consistency, internal links, topical authority, backlinks, and brand mentions.

Google says AI Overviews provide AI-generated snapshots with links for users to explore more, so the goal is to make your content clear, useful, and easy for search systems to cite or surface.

Yes. We share our SEO case studies above, including an Imhoff Painting recovery from under 10 daily organic visits back to 300+ daily visits, with leads up 70%; a Catchlight Painting campaign that grew total ranking keywords from 448 to 1,484; and a health-brand article we published that is generating 60 clicks a day.

Past results do not guarantee the same outcome for every site, but they show the type of practical SEO work we do: technical repair, content restoration, service page optimization, backlinks, and search visibility growth.

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 usually 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, keyword footprint, Google Business Profile activity, technical site health, conversion performance, and visibility across AI and answer-driven search.

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

Hog the Web is a WordPress-first SEO team 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 the implementation inside WordPress, not just the strategy. That means fewer handoffs, fewer excuses, and a clearer path from SEO diagnosis to actual improvement.
