SEO for service businesses

Turn your expertise into pages people can find.

For a service-based business, the website often has to explain complex work, build confidence and turn the right searches into worthwhile enquiries.

WordPress SEO improves the pages, content, structure and technical foundations that help Google understand your services. The aim is not to chase traffic for its own sake. It is to focus on searches that match what you do, who you can genuinely help and the work you most want to attract.

How WordPress SEO starts at Rankwell

We do a useful piece of work together first.

New clients begin with Essential SEO Fixes—a $997 + GST fixed-price project that identifies and addresses the most important website, search and tracking issues first.

It gives us a chance to work together before either of us commits to an ongoing SEO arrangement. If ongoing WordPress SEO is the right next step and we are a good fit, we can continue with clearer priorities and stronger foundations. If not, you still finish with useful improvements and a practical understanding of what your website needs.

Common WordPress SEO problems we find

Important services are buried, combined together or explained too vaguely.
The website targets broad industry terms without matching a clear search intent.
Service pages are thin, generic or written without a useful commercial focus.
Useful expertise sits in offline documents or staff knowledge rather than on the website.

Tracking is unclear, so nobody knows which pages and searches produce enquiries.
Competitors explain the same services more clearly and support them with stronger content.
WordPress themes, plugins or old site changes have created technical and indexing problems.
Old pages, weak internal links and inconsistent terminology make the website difficult to understand.

WordPress SEO pricing

From $995 + GST / month

This is the ongoing stage after Essential SEO Fixes. The right level depends on the website, competition, number of services and amount of content work required. We will be clear about the recommended scope before any ongoing work begins.

WordPress is where Rankwell does its best work.

Rankwell specialises in improving established WordPress websites. Its flexibility allows us to work properly on service pages, content, internal linking, technical SEO and conversion tracking without fighting against a closed website platform.

This service is not aimed at Wix or Squarespace sites, local businesses whose main opportunity is Google Maps, or online stores. Local businesses are better suited to Local SEO, while WooCommerce and Shopify stores have their own eCommerce SEO service.
