wordpress seo services

let’s make sure your wordpress website is actually optimised

  • Complete SEO, from technical audits to conversions
  • Direct access to the experts who actually work on your site
  • SEO, development, hosting, PPC, and CRO – all in one place

Happy site, happy life

WordPress powers more than 40% of sites on the internet, so even though it’s automatically SEO-friendly, that doesn’t mean you’re going to beat the competition. 

In fact, its built-in search engine optimisation means the whole internet is that bit more competitive.

We've seen really beautifully designed WordPress websites fall behind on the SERPs (and now, in AI references) because of slow themes, conflicting plugins, poor site architecture, duplicate content, bloated code, etc, etc. There’s a lot that can go wrong, besides the obvious (no SEO strategy at all).

At Kaweb, we’ve been speeding up WordPress websites since it launched in 2003. At the same time, we go ahead and make them easier for Google and AI algorithms to understand and far more competitive in organic search and AI overviews. 

I've worked with Kaweb for many years. Not only is their expertise second-to-none, but their responsiveness means I've never felt left in the lurch. They're a great bunch of people as well - highly recommended.

why wordpress needs seo (even though it's built for it)

One of WordPress's greatest strengths is also what makes the whole thing tricky.

Because almost anyone can create a WordPress website, a whole bunch of SEO problems can be inadvertently created, too. Plugins overlap, themes become bloated, pages multiply, metadata gets duplicated, and before long, what started out with so much potential has become a cesspool of confusion for users, AI and search engines. 

So then why not use a WordPress SEO plugin and call it a day? That would surely keep the technical problems from taking over, wouldn’t it? Well, it may stop them from multiplying beyond control, but a plugin can only ever do so much (just as much as it's doing for every other WordPress site using the same plugin). WordPress SEO experts, on the other hand… let’s show you what we do.

our technical seo services

comprehensive technical seo audits

The first step we take is to run a careful technical SEO audit to understand what's really happening across your website.

Our technical SEO experts dig into the factors that directly impact your visibility in search engines and AI platforms, checking everything from crawl and indexation issues to site architecture weaknesses, performance bottlenecks and missed optimisation opportunities.

More importantly, we don't just hand over a spreadsheet full of warnings and wish you luck. We prioritise issues based on business impact, explain what matters in plain English (and pretty colours), and provide clear, actionable info for improvement.

crawling & indexation optimisation

Google and AI engines can't rank or share pages they can't properly find, access or understand.

It's surprisingly common for businesses to have brilliant content that’s buried behind technical barriers that block search engines from ever seeing it. Sometimes pages aren't being crawled efficiently. Sometimes they're being indexed incorrectly. Sometimes they're being ignored altogether.

Our experienced technical SEO consultants remove those obstacles by working on the technical aspects that guide search engines through your website, prioritising the pages that matter most to your business (and your bottom line).

site speed & core web vitals

There is nothing worse than a slow website. We’re all used to speed and efficiency these days, so you best believe that a slow website frustrates users, hurts conversions and makes life harder for search engines.

It should then come as no surprise that speed has become a big ranking factor, particularly on mobile devices where patience is often measured in seconds. Working closely with our development team, we identify the technical issues slowing your website down and implement improvements that will make both users and the internet happier.

Because a faster website isn't just better for SEO. It's better for business.

technical seo for ecommerce websites

Ecommerce websites come with their own unique set of technical SEO challenges. Large catalogues, product variants, filters, faceted navigation, and constantly changing inventory can quickly create technical complexity that limits search engine visibility. 

Left unmanaged, these issues can mean wasted crawl budget, duplicate content and thousands of pages competing against each other. So we help ecommerce brands of all sizes build cleaner, more scalable technical foundations that support stronger rankings, better user experiences and more efficient growth.

structured data & schema markup

Search engines and LLMs are incredibly intelligent, but clear instructions are still always appreciated.

Structured data provides context about your content, so that it’s easy to understand the difference between a product, a service, a review, an article or an organisation. Our team identifies the most valuable schema opportunities across your website, implements them correctly, and validates everything so that Google can connect the dots faster.

website migrations & seo support

Website migrations are one of the highest-risk moments in SEO.

Whether you're launching a new website, changing platforms, restructuring content or moving domains, even the smallest of technical mistakes can have an impact on your hard-won rankings and traffic.

Our technical SEO specialists work alongside your development and marketing teams (or ours, depending on your needs) throughout the migration process to protect the authority you've already built. From planning and redirect strategy to launch monitoring and post-migration validation, we help ensure a smooth transition with minimal disruption to organic performance.

Because rebuilding lost rankings is far more expensive than protecting them in the first place.

common technical seo problems we fix

Businesses tend to turn to SEOs when they see rankings drop without an obvious reason. The culprit is often technical.

Some of the most common issues we uncover include:

  • Pages not being indexed

  • Crawl errors

  • Slow-loading websites

  • Duplicate content

  • Broken internal links

  • Redirect issues

  • Poor mobile performance

  • Thin indexable pages

  • JavaScript rendering problems

  • Incorrect canonicalisation

  • Orphan pages

  • Bloated site architecture

Sometimes the issue is obvious, and sometimes it's buried five layers deep inside a CMS configuration nobody has touched since 2018. Either way, we'll find it.
