How to Check SEO on a WordPress Website

WordPress gives you control over many search settings. Check what the public site publishes, since a theme or plugin can affect the result.

Inspect an important service page

Check its title, main heading, canonical and index settings. Use Search Console to inspect the exact address. Compare the page with a similar page to see whether the title and content describe a distinct service.

Check links and sitemap entries

Make sure navigation and articles use the final URLs. Review which post types and archives appear in the sitemap. When updating an established article, keep its address if the topic still fits.

Track page outcomes

Compare useful search queries and enquiries after changes have been crawled. Our Manchester SEO team can help inspect the site’s public output.
