Our SEO analyst will review your WordPress site and email your top fixes.

Yes, WordPress is one of the most search-friendly platforms you can build on, but only when it’s set up and maintained well.
WordPress gives you editable URLs, clean HTML and control over every page, which covers most basics in Google’s SEO Starter Guide. The trouble starts as sites age: extra plugins, a heavy theme and a page builder slowly undo those strengths. SEO for WordPress means keeping the platform lean, then doing the same strategy work we run as an SEO agency Australia businesses rely on.
Most WordPress SEO problems fall into four places. Here’s what we look for first, and what we do about it.
The one-tick mistake. “Discourage search engines from indexing this site” (Settings, then Reading) is often left on after a rebuild. It’s the first thing we check.
Common issues only. Your audit lists what’s actually on your site, ranked by impact.
Our WordPress SEO services start with the platform, then move to the work that wins enquiries.
An SEO plugin gives you the controls, while a WordPress SEO expert decides what to put in them and what to fix around them.
We work with whichever SEO plugin you already use. Switching rarely makes a difference on its own.
| Area | SEO plugin on its own | Humming Web team |
|---|---|---|
| Titles and meta | Gives you the fields and a green light | Writes them for real search intent |
| Sitemaps and schema | Generates them automatically | Checks they match what Google should index |
| Speed | Not covered | Fixes caching, images and scripts |
| Content and links | Scores a page you’ve written | Plans, writes and earns them |
| Results | No tracking of enquiries | Monthly report on calls, forms and revenue |

“Humming Web completely transformed how we approach Facebook and Instagram advertising. Before working with them our ad spend felt like money down the drain, high cost per lead, low quality enquiries, and no real transparency from our previous agency.”
“Our social media went from an afterthought to our strongest brand asset. Content is original, on-brand, and actually looks professional. Engagement tripled in two months. Completely hands-off for us — they send the calendar, we approve it, done.”
“At $99/month I was sceptical. It seemed too cheap to be quality. I was completely wrong. The content looks better than what bigger agencies quoted us three times the price for. No templates, no stock photos — everything is made for our brand.”
“I'd tried two other agencies before Humming Web. This is the first time my Meta Ads have actually made me money. Transparent, fast to respond, and genuinely care about results. 5.2× ROAS in month two. Can't recommend enough.”
“We always knew our socials needed work but never had the time. Now it's completely hands-off. Monthly calendar, we approve, it goes live. Clear reporting. Completely stress-free and the content quality is excellent.”
“Finally an agency that speaks plain English. Weekly reports tell us exactly what's working — no vanity metrics, no jargon. Leads are up 3× compared to what we were getting before. Direct line to the campaign manager is a game changer.”
“Switched from a large agency where we were just another account number. The difference is night and day. Humming Web actually understand our business, suggest new ideas, and are proactive. Results have been consistent and improving each month.”
“The no lock-in thing was what got me to give it a try. Three months later I'm not going anywhere. Content is consistently on-brand, engagement is up, and it's genuinely one less thing I have to think about. Worth every cent.”
“We tried doing it ourselves for years. The content from Humming Web is miles ahead — professional, creative, and actually gets engagement. Setup was painless and they were posting within a week. No contract, no setup fee. Simple.”
WordPress SEO is search engine optimisation shaped around how WordPress works, so your site loads fast, gets indexed properly and ranks. It covers plugins, themes, speed, on-page SEO, content and links.
Yes, if it's set up well. WordPress gives you clean URLs, full control of titles and schema, and easy publishing. It's less search-friendly when heavy themes, page builders and too many plugins slow it down.
WordPress SEO with Humming Web usually runs $1,000 to $5,000 a month, depending on the size of the site, the state of its plugins and theme, and how competitive the market is. Local SEO starts from $780/month.
The one that's configured properly, doesn't clash with your theme and is the only SEO plugin installed. Yoast, Rank Math and All in One SEO all do the job well.
Not always. Yoast handles titles, sitemaps and basic schema well. It doesn't fix speed, plan content, earn links or track enquiries, which is where most rankings are won or lost.
Yes. Page experience, including Core Web Vitals, is part of how Google ranks pages, and slow pages lose visitors before they enquire. Caching, image compression and fewer plugins usually make the biggest difference.
Most businesses see technical fixes picked up within a few weeks and steady growth in enquiries within three to six months. Competitive markets and new sites take longer.
Not for the free audit, which only needs your website address. For ongoing work we ask for a WordPress user account, plus read-only Search Console and GA4. We test larger changes on staging first.
Yes. We optimise sites built with page builders without forcing a rebuild. We simplify the heaviest templates, remove unused widgets and move important copy out of sliders and tabs.
Yes. WooCommerce stores need extra work on product pages, categories, filters and product schema. That's covered by our eCommerce SEO, run by the same team structure.
