What Do WordPress SEO Consultants Do?

WordPress SEO consultants improve the search engine rankings and lead generation of WordPress websites. They achieve this by making technical, content, and off-page improvements.

Consultants understand the technical elements of WordPress’s platform and how to make adjustments so that your website passes Google’s Core Web Vitals’ tests. This is done by auditing your WordPress theme and plugins to remove bloated code which is slowing down your website’s loading time.

Additionally, WordPress SEO consultants make your existing website content search-engine-friendly so that it’s displayed in search results. This is achieved by rewriting your page content, optimising on-page and off-page elements, plus ensuring that each page is assigned a target keyword.

A WordPress SEO consultant can also help with tasks such as: scaling up your content production, creating your SEO strategy, or training your staff on SEO best practices.

How A WordPress SEO Consultant Can Help You

Relying on plugins like Yoast or Rank Math can help you cover SEO basics, but these tools can only take your website so far. To get game-changing results for your website you need an advanced SEO strategy crafted by an expert. 

A WordPress SEO expert goes beyond basic site optimisations, diving into complex areas like site structure, custom schema markup, and advanced keyword strategies that are essential for higher rankings. 

DIY SEO and plugins cannot adapt quickly enough to the frequent changes that Google makes to its search algorithm. Experienced SEO Consultants keep up with the latest trends and adjust your SEO strategy accordingly, ensuring that your site is future-proofed and continues to grow.

This advanced, hands-on approach unlocks levels of performance and visibility that go beyond what any plugin or SEO beginner can achieve. With a WordPress SEO consultant, your site can rise above the competition and attract the kind of traffic that makes a real difference to your business.

You’ve tried everything: optimising content, refining keywords, and testing plugins, but your site still won’t move to page 1 for your target keywords. That’s where expert help can make all the difference. A WordPress SEO consultant has the specialised skills to push past these barriers and achieve the visibility your business deserves.

An experienced WordPress SEO consultant goes beyond basic improvements. They dig deep to identify exactly what’s holding your site back, addressing often-overlooked issues like technical fixes, site structure, and user experience factors that impact rankings. 

Then, with a tailored strategy, they optimise each landing page element to align with Google’s guidelines, ensuring your site doesn’t just reach page #1 but stays there.

If you’re tired of putting in the effort without achieving the desired results, it’s time to bring in a WordPress SEO expert who knows exactly how to get your site to the top of Google.

Fixing complex technical SEO errors on WordPress often requires some level of development knowledge. A WordPress SEO consultant brings both the technical skills and SEO expertise needed to tackle these issues, helping you unlock the full potential of your site.

From slow loading times to poorly structured data, technical errors can prevent search engines from fully understanding and indexing your site. A consultant can address these complex tasks efficiently, knowing exactly where to make changes that will deliver SEO gains.

For WordPress site owners without a development background, trying to resolve these technical SEO issues alone can be frustrating and risky. A consultant ensures each adjustment is not only SEO-friendly but also safe for your site’s performance, giving you confidence that your site will rank better without any technical setbacks or downtime.

SEO Challenges With WordPress Websites

Below are common WordPress SEO challenges encountered by Mint SEO. Our WordPress SEO Consultants can help you eliminate the following issues to turbocharge your organic traffic growth.

Bloated WordPress Themes And Plugins

Many WordPress themes and plugins come packed with features to appeal to a broad range of users, but this often leads to bloated code that can slow down your website.

Each extra element, from flashy sliders to built-in widgets, adds weight to the page load time, which can negatively impact user experience and SEO performance.

Search engines favour fast, streamlined sites, so themes and plugins overloaded with code that isn’t being used can hold back your rankings.

Scaling Content Production

To grow traffic to your website you need to regularly publish new posts and landing pages.
However, scaling content production on WordPress can quickly become challenging, especially when aiming to create quality pages efficiently.


A WordPress SEO consultant can set up the processes and templates needed to enable large-scale content creation. By developing automated workflows and implementing programmatic SEO, they make it possible for businesses to publish high-quality content across numerous pages quickly.

Mobile SEO

Google switched to mobile-first indexing in 2018. This means if your website is not optimised to display on mobile devices, Google will penalise its search engine performance.


Unfortunately, some WordPress themes and plugins don’t automatically provide a fully optimised experience on mobile devices.
SEO consultants for WordPress can optimise your site for mobile by fixing issues like unresponsive designs, slow load times, and awkward navigation.
