Overview
WordPress powers a huge share of the web, and most WordPress sites carry the same handful of SEO problems. We fix them at the source.
WordPress has its own SEO quirks.
Start a ConversationThe platform itself is SEO-friendly; what accumulates on top often isn't. Heavy themes, plugin bloat, duplicate archive pages, slow hosting, and half-configured SEO plugins are where most WordPress rankings quietly leak.
We work on WordPress daily — building sites, managing hosting, and running maintenance — so WordPress SEO here means going into the theme and the server, and fixing causes rather than symptoms.
For WooCommerce stores the same applies at catalogue scale: product and category pages, filters, and duplicate content, covered on our ecommerce SEO page.
What we work on
WordPress SEO services.
Where WordPress sites gain the most.
Speed & hosting
Theme weight, caching, image optimisation, and hosting that isn't the bottleneck. Speed is the most common WordPress ranking leak.
Plugin & theme cleanup
Removing bloat, configuring the SEO plugin properly, and making sure page builders aren't printing code Google struggles with.
On-page & schema
Titles, headings, internal links, and structured data across posts, pages, and custom post types.
WooCommerce SEO
Product and category page optimisation and store-specific technical work, at whatever size your catalogue is.
Running on WordPress?
Let's look at what your theme and plugins are costing you.
Built, hosted, and optimised in one place.
SEO recommendations for a WordPress site often stall because nobody owns the implementation — the marketer can't edit the theme, and the developer has other priorities. Here they're the same team.
Northbase manages WordPress hosting and maintenance for clients, so SEO fixes ship inside the same update cycle that keeps your site secure and current.
Common questions
WordPress SEO, answered.
Is WordPress good for SEO?
Yes — the platform is fundamentally SEO-friendly. Most WordPress SEO problems come from what gets added on top: heavy themes, too many plugins, slow hosting, and default settings left unconfigured. All of it is fixable.
Which SEO plugin should I use?
The plugin matters less than the configuration. The common options all cover the essentials; what makes the difference is how titles, schema, sitemaps, and indexing rules are set up inside it — and everything the plugin can't touch, like speed and theme code.
Why is my WordPress site slow?
Usually a combination of theme weight, unoptimised images, plugin bloat, and hosting. A speed audit identifies which — and fixing them helps both rankings and conversions.
Do you also maintain WordPress sites?
Yes — WordPress management (core, theme, and plugin updates, security, backups, hosting) is one of our standing services, and SEO work ships within the same cycle.
