Our SEO services

Every lever Google cares about, covered.

Modern search is not one job, it is a full stack of disciplines working together. These are the nine areas we specialise in, and how each one earns you rankings that actually hold.

On-page SEO

Sharp titles, meta descriptions, heading structure and internal links, plus copy that reads for people first. Our on-page SEO work makes sure every page answers one clear intent and tells Google exactly what it deserves to rank for.

Relevance & intent

Off-page SEO

Real authority earned the honest way. Through digital PR and genuine outreach, our off-page SEO builds links from the sites your customers already trust, never from networks that put your rankings at risk.

Authority & trust

Technical SEO

Core Web Vitals, crawlability, indexation, schema and clean site architecture. Solid technical SEO is the groundwork that lets everything else perform, because even brilliant content struggles when Google cannot crawl or trust the site beneath it.

Foundation

Local SEO

When someone nearby is ready to buy, you need to be the name they see. Our local SEO sharpens your Google Business Profile, citations and map pack presence so your business shows up at the exact moment intent is highest.

Map-pack visibility

AEO & AI Search

Search now happens inside AI answers, not just blue links. Our answer engine optimisation shapes structured, entity rich content that wins featured snippets and earns citations across ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity.

AI & featured snippets

Content Strategy

Human written, genuinely useful content built around what people actually search for. Our content strategy maps topics into clusters that build real topical authority, the kind Google rewards and readers happily finish.

E-E-A-T content

eCommerce SEO

Product and category pages that sell as hard as they rank. Our eCommerce SEO tightens site structure, product schema and internal links so shoppers find you first and land on pages built to convert.

Product visibility

Keyword Research

The right keywords change everything downstream. Our keyword research digs into real search intent and buyer language, then maps each term to the page best placed to win it, so nothing you publish targets the wrong audience.

Intent mapping

SEO Audit

Before we fix anything, we find out exactly what is holding you back. A full SEO audit uncovers the technical, on page and content gaps costing you rankings, then hands you a clear roadmap ordered by real impact.

Why Web Ranko

One team. Two disciplines. One measurable outcome.

Most agencies split SEO and web development across separate teams who rarely speak to each other. We built Web Ranko differently. The same specialists who audit your technical SEO also write the code, so nothing gets lost in translation between strategy and execution. Below is what that actually looks like on a live account.

Built to rank from day one

Every WordPress theme we hand code follows SEO architecture from the first line, never as a bolt on after launch. Clean URL structures, semantic markup and Core Web Vitals sit inside the build, not on a checklist afterwards.

What that looked like

A Midlands roofing client arrived with a page builder site carrying over 300 render blocking requests on a single template. We rebuilt the theme in PHP and brought that under 40. The same pages sitting on page three began holding top five positions inside eleven weeks. Not one word of the copy changed. Only the foundation did.

SEO first builds

Senior specialists on every account

No juniors learning on your budget. Every SEO retainer and development project is led by someone with at least five years of hands on experience across UK search and WordPress.

What that looked like

A B2B client came to us certain they needed more blog posts. Two hours into the audit we found roughly 1,100 thin tag archives swallowing their crawl budget. We removed them, merged nine overlapping articles into two genuine guides, and impressions recovered before a single new post went live. A junior would have started writing.

No handoffs

Transparent monthly reporting

Every client sees the same Search Console data we work from. No vanity metrics, no black box dashboards. If a keyword drops, you find out in the same report we do.

What that looked like

One client noticed their clicks sliding in week two of a retainer, because they were looking at the same property view we were. They asked before our monthly call rather than after it. The cause was a stray noindex left behind by a previous developer. We had it fixed inside a working day.

We rebuilt it instead of patching it

The site loaded in over eight seconds on mobile and every fix the previous agency shipped fought the page builder underneath. We rewrote the theme, kept the URL structure intact, and mapped every redirect before launch. Rankings held through migration week and then climbed.

The problem was never the content

They had been buying four articles a month for a year with nothing to show for it. The audit found duplicate title tags across 60 service pages and an internal link structure that buried the money pages five clicks deep. We fixed the structure first and paused the content spend.

48 hoursaverage turnaround on a fix

One team means nothing waits in a queue

When the SEO specialist and the developer are the same person, a schema error does not become a ticket, a sprint and a follow up call. It becomes a commit. Our clients stopped booking meetings about who owns which fix, because the answer is always us.

Across all active retainers
The difference

What most agencies do, and what we do instead.

We are not going to pretend every agency is bad at this. Plenty are excellent. But there are habits the industry has quietly normalised that cost clients money, and we have built the business specifically to avoid them. Here is the honest comparison.

Common industry practice
How Web Ranko works
Twelve month contracts with an exit clause, because retention is easier than performance.
Rolling monthly agreements with thirty days notice. We keep you by delivering, not by paperwork.
Reports built inside a third party dashboard you cannot verify against anything.
Reporting pulled from the Search Console property you own and can open yourself at any time.
An account manager relays your question to the person who actually did the work.
The specialist who did the work answers you directly. There is nobody in between.
Links bought in bulk from resellers, listed in the report as a number and nothing else.
Digital PR and manual outreach only. Every placement is named, linked and defensible.
The SEO team files a ticket, the dev team ships it six weeks later, momentum dies.
The same people write the brief and the code, so a fix takes days rather than sprints.
Content commissioned to a word count, then measured by how much of it went live.
Content commissioned to a search intent, then measured by whether it ranks and converts.
Traffic growth presented as the win, while enquiries and revenue go unmentioned.
Enquiries and revenue tracked from month one. Traffic is a means, never the headline.
The site is built on a page builder licence you keep paying for and never own.
You own the theme, the code and the repository. Leave whenever you like and take it with you.

If any of the left column sounds familiar, that is usually worth a conversation.

  • Senior specialists, not account managers. Every SEO retainer and WordPress project is led by a specialist with at least five years of hands on experience. No juniors, no handoffs, no surprises.
  • Month to month. No minimum term. We run on rolling monthly agreements because we believe accountability should be earned, not locked in. If we are not delivering measurable organic growth, you walk away freely.
  • London based. Nationwide reach. Our SEO and WordPress specialists operate from East London and serve businesses across the UK and internationally. We know the UK search landscape and what Google genuinely rewards.

FAQ

Questions, answered honestly.

Still curious? We've pulled together the questions we hear most often from UK business owners exploring SEO and WordPress for the first time.

Email a question
How long until SEO results show?
You'll usually see early movement including impressions, long-tail rankings and crawl improvements, inside 4 to 6 weeks. Meaningful revenue impact typically arrives between month three and month six, depending on competition and site maturity.
Do you work with existing WordPress sites?
Absolutely. Most of our SEO clients already have a WordPress site. We audit what's there, fix what's holding you back, and only recommend a rebuild if the foundations genuinely can't carry growth.
Will you lock me into a long contract?
No. SEO retainers are rolling monthly with a 30-day notice period. WordPress builds are fixed-scope with clear deliverables. We want you to stay because we're delivering, not because you signed a two-year contract.
How is the free SEO audit different?
It's an actual human-led review. A senior specialist spends real time on your site, spots the top three fixes you can make this week (regardless of whether you hire us), and books a 30-minute call to walk you through it.
Do you guarantee #1 Google rankings?
No ethical SEO agency can. What we can guarantee: a thorough, transparent process, senior expertise on every task, and clear monthly reporting so you always see the trajectory.
Do you handle both SEO and web development together?
Yes, and it is our biggest advantage over split agencies. The same team that runs your technical SEO audit also builds and maintains your WordPress site, so fixes ship faster and nothing gets lost between the SEO brief and the developer.
What makes Webranko different from other UK SEO agencies?
Rolling monthly contracts, senior specialists on every account, and reporting built on the same Google Search Console data we work from. No lock-in, no juniors, no inflated numbers.
