WordPress SEO that starts with how the site is built.

Technical and on-page SEO for WordPress sites tired of paying for content nobody finds — the same work applies to other platforms too. I fix the foundations first — crawlability, structure, speed, schema — then make each page earn a ranking for something specific.

Technical and on-page SEO for WordPress sites tired of paying for content nobody finds — the same work applies to other platforms too. I fix the foundations first — crawlability, structure, speed, schema — then make each page earn a ranking for something specific.

What I actually get called in to fix

Most SEO problems handed to me are not content problems — they are build problems.

Pages Google has never crawled, six pages competing for the same phrase, titles generated by a plugin nobody configured, a Core Web Vitals score quietly capping everything else. I come at SEO as the developer who builds the site, because that is where most of the fixable damage lives. I am not a link-building agency, and I will not sell you a monthly retainer for “authority” — what I do is make a site technically sound and structurally clear, which is the part genuinely within your control.

Google has not indexed half your pages

Blocked in robots.txt, orphaned with no internal links pointing at them, buried behind pagination, or quietly written off as duplicates. This is usually the single largest and cheapest win available.

Your own pages compete with each other

Three service pages targeting the same phrase means Google picks one of them and splits the authority between the rest. The fix is consolidation and deliberate internal linking, not more content on top.

The site is too slow to rank well

Core Web Vitals are a ranking signal and a conversion factor simultaneously. Oversized images, render-blocking scripts and layout shift are all measurable, all fixable, and all invisible until measured.

Nothing on the page tells Google what it is about

Missing or duplicated title tags, no heading hierarchy, no structured data, descriptions auto-generated by a plugin — the cheapest wins on the board.

What I deliver

Scoped and quoted once the current site and goals are confirmed.

  • A technical SEO audit as the first phase of the engagement — crawlability, indexation, redirects, canonicals and duplicate content
  • Core Web Vitals and page speed work (LCP, INP, CLS), measured before and after rather than asserted
  • Site architecture and internal linking — a structure Google can follow and visitors can navigate
  • Unique, intent-matched title tags and meta descriptions across every page
  • Heading hierarchy and semantic HTML that describes each page honestly
  • Structured data — Organization, Service, Breadcrumb, FAQ, Article and Product where it applies
  • XML sitemaps, robots.txt, canonical tags, and hreflang where a site is multilingual
  • Migration SEO — redirect mapping so a redesign or replatform keeps the rankings you already paid for
  • Google Search Console setup, verification and ongoing issue triage
  • Keyword research and competitor gap analysis, so each page targets something specific

TECHNOLOGY I USE

  • Google Search Console
  • Analytics 4
  • PageSpeed Insights
  • Lighthouse
  • Screaming Frog
  • Ahrefs
  • Schema.org
  • Core Web Vitals
  • Bing Webmaster Tools

How a project runs

Five phases, start to finish — foundations before polish.

  1. Audit and baseline

    I crawl the site, pull Search Console and Core Web Vitals data, and establish where you actually rank today. Without a baseline there is no honest way to tell later whether any of the work moved anything.

  2. Prioritise by impact

    You get a ranked shortlist, not a 200-row spreadsheet. Indexation failures and Core Web Vitals problems come before meta description polish, because that is the order in which they actually affect results.

  3. Technical fixes

    Crawlability, redirects, canonicals, speed, structured data, sitemap and robots. Foundations first — on-page work applied to a page Google cannot crawl is wasted effort, however good the copy is.

  4. On-page and structure

    Titles, descriptions, headings and internal links, page by page, each targeting one specific intent rather than everything vaguely. This is also where pages competing with each other get untangled.

  5. Measure and hand over

    Search Console monitoring, a re-measured baseline against the original, and a written record of what changed and what to watch.

Who you’re working with

Eleven years of WordPress and web development work, technical SEO included.

Ranking for a phrase nobody searches with intent is vanity, so the targeting work starts from what you actually sell and who actually buys it. Technical SEO is not a subscription — once a site is crawlable, fast and correctly structured, it stays that way until something breaks it. Most of my clients are outside Bangladesh, primarily the UK, Germany and the US, and I work across European and North American time zones without difficulty.

Questions I get asked

What people ask before commissioning SEO work — including where the honest answer is “you do not need this”.

How long does SEO take to work?

Technical fixes can surface within weeks — indexation problems in particular often resolve as soon as Google recrawls the site. Movement on competitive commercial terms is a matter of months, and anyone promising otherwise is guessing. The honest early signal is Search Console: you will see crawl and impression changes there long before you see revenue.

Can you guarantee first-page rankings?

No, and nobody legitimately can — Google's ranking systems are neither for sale nor disclosed. Treat a guarantee as a reason to walk away. What I can commit to is that your site will be crawlable, fast, correctly structured and targeting the right queries, which is the entire share of the problem that is actually in your control.

Do you do link building?

No. I do technical and on-page SEO, which is the part a developer does genuinely well. For off-page work I would rather point you to someone who specialises in it than do it badly. In practice most sites I audit have enough unfixed on-page problems that links are not yet the bottleneck.

Do I need SEO if my website is already good?

Possibly not. If your pages are indexed, fast, well structured and ranking for what you sell, there is nothing for me to do and I will say so. Send me the URL and you will get a straight answer rather than a proposal.

Is this only for WordPress sites?

No. The technical work applies to any platform — WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, a custom build. WordPress is simply where I am fastest, because I know where its particular problems tend to hide.

What are the most common WordPress SEO problems?

Pages a page builder generated but never got a unique title or description, thin category and tag archives left indexable by default, duplicate content from URL parameters, and a Core Web Vitals score dragged down by an unoptimised theme or plugin stack. Most of it is invisible until someone actually audits the site rather than just looks at it.

Can you fix WordPress indexing issues specifically?

Yes, this is one of the most common WordPress SEO requests I get. Usually a mix of robots.txt blocking more than it should, noindex tags left on from staging, orphaned pages with no internal links, or Search Console coverage errors nobody has looked at. I audit crawl and index status specifically as part of the initial pass.

What do you need from me to start?

The site URL, access to Google Search Console or permission to set it up, and a clear sense of what you sell and to whom. That last one matters more than people expect — targeting the wrong queries perfectly is still the wrong outcome.

Can I just get an audit, without the fix work?

Yes — that is a separate, fixed-price service: a Technical SEO Audit, a written report with no ongoing commitment. This page is the full engagement: audit plus the fix work plus ongoing monitoring. Start with the standalone audit if you want the diagnosis first and are not ready to commit to more.

Do you offer ongoing SEO?

I offer monthly technical monitoring: Search Console triage, Core Web Vitals, and catching regressions after site changes — which is when most SEO damage actually happens. I do not sell open-ended content retainers.

Where this experience comes from

Most frontend application work sits behind client login screens and NDAs, so the history is on the record instead.

  • Sumashtech Ltd. (2023–2024) — a year building and maintaining Nuxt.js applications, focused on responsive, high-performance interfaces
  • Peymynt / Payyit (2019–2023) — four years as Senior Frontend Developer leading React work on a financial product
  • Quomodosoft (2015–2019) — four years of WordPress and frontend delivery across a wide range of client projects

Just want the diagnosis first?

Technical SEO Audit is a fixed-price, standalone report with no ongoing commitment.

Site already confirmed slow?

WordPress Speed Optimization is the dedicated fix if Core Web Vitals is the known cause.

Does WordPress create an XML sitemap on its own?

Only a basic one — it's usually worth checking what's actually being submitted to Search Console.
