Which SEO plugin should I use?

Either Yoast or Rank Math is fine — the plugin is rarely the problem. What matters is that one system controls titles, canonicals and indexation, and that it is configured against a plan rather than left on defaults.

Can you fix Core Web Vitals on a page-builder site?

Usually, yes. Most wins come from image handling, script loading, caching and hosting rather than abandoning the builder. Where the builder itself is the ceiling, I'll tell you what the rebuild would cost before recommending it.

Do you work with UK agencies white-label?

Yes. A significant share of the WordPress work is delivered white-label for agencies needing technical capacity.

WordPress SEO consulting in the UK

WordPress will happily publish thousands of pages that Google never wants. Archive pages, tag pages, attachment pages, plugin output, three versions of every image — all of it competing with the pages that actually sell. I'm Deepak Shukla, founder of Pearl Lemon. My team works on WordPress builds every week across the UK, and this page covers exactly what we fix, what it costs, and how quickly it shows.

Theme and plugin audits that cut bloat without breaking the site
Core Web Vitals work specific to WordPress hosting, caching and images

What goes wrong on WordPress sites

Duplicate archives and tag pages diluting the index; SEO plugins misconfigured so canonicals and robots directives contradict each other; page builders producing enormous DOMs that fail Core Web Vitals; unoptimised images served at full size; and plugins adding scripts on every page whether needed or not. None of it is exotic — it is just rarely reviewed once a site is live.

The WordPress SEO fix list

Index control across archives, tags and attachments; a single source of truth for titles, descriptions and canonicals; image pipeline and lazy loading; caching and server response times; schema output checked against what Google reads; and an internal link structure that pushes authority to commercial pages rather than the blog index.

WooCommerce and content sites

For WooCommerce the focus moves to faceted navigation, product and category indexation, and unique category copy. For publishers it is topical clustering, author and entity signals, and pruning the archive of pages that only dilute quality.
