What changes once we run it
Pages are written and published against targets chosen from what you can realistically rank for, not from a volume column. Internal linking is treated as work rather than an afterthought.
Links earned through real outreach
We pitch your business to publications and resources your audience already reads. No directories bought in bulk, no private blog networks, nothing that works for two quarters and then earns you a manual action.
Reporting you can actually read
Rankings tracked weekly, traffic and entry pages monthly, and conversions wired into analytics so you can see which organic visits turn into forms and calls.
Local and store SEO covered
If you run WooCommerce, we control faceted navigation so crawlers do not drown in filter URLs, and get product schema output correctly. Neither is billed as a separate engagement.
We publish, you approve
Most agencies email you a list and wait. We work in your WordPress install and ship the changes ourselves, on a staging copy first where the risk warrants it.
Who this comparison is for
Agencies that need SEO delivered under their brand
If you sell websites but not search, you can hand the retainer to us and keep the client relationship.
B2B companies with long research-driven sales cycles
When a purchase takes months of research, the companies that answer the early questions get shortlisted for the late ones. We map the full question set your buyers work through and build the pages that meet them at each stage of it.
Small businesses competing on local search
If customers find you by searching a service plus a city, most of the opportunity sits in your Google Business Profile, your citations, and location pages that are genuinely different from one another.
How our WordPress SEO process works
The first month is diagnosis and quick wins. After that the work settles into a monthly rhythm of technical fixes, new content, outreach, and reporting.
- 1
We assess your current setup
First we look at how things run today: what you already pay for, what is configured where, and which parts are actually causing you trouble.
- 2
We audit and build the keyword map
Month one opens with a full crawl of your site and a look at what competitors rank for that you do not. We document what is blocking indexing, what is slowing pages down, and where authority is leaking away.
- 3
We fix, write, and publish
From there each month brings on-page rewrites, new pages targeting mapped terms, and outreach to earn links.
- 4
We report, then reprioritize
Each month you get rankings, traffic, entry pages, and conversions, next to a plain-language account of what we did and what it moved.

Moz alternative questions
Straight answers about switching, pricing, and what moves with you.
See Managed SEOHow is Cascadia different from Moz?
The difference is that we earn links through real outreach. We pitch your business to publications and resources your audience already reads. No directories bought in bulk, no private blog networks, nothing that works for two quarters and then earns you a manual action.
What is the difference between technical SEO and on-page SEO?
Technical SEO is about whether search engines can crawl, render, and index your site properly: speed, structure, sitemaps, schema. On-page SEO is about whether a given page deserves to rank for a given term: the keyword it targets, the title, the headings, and the depth of the content. Technical work removes obstacles. On-page work is what actually earns the position.
Do you do local SEO for WordPress sites?
Yes. If you serve customers in specific places, local work is included: Google Business Profile setup and maintenance, citation cleanup across the major directories, and location pages built with genuinely different content rather than one page with the city name swapped out. For businesses with a physical presence, this is often where the fastest returns come from.
Can you help my WooCommerce store rank?
Yes. WooCommerce sites need category and product pages optimized, faceted navigation controlled so crawlers do not drown in filter URLs, and product schema output correctly for rich results. We handle all three. Store SEO also tends to expose technical problems a smaller site never surfaces, which is usually where we start.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep everything. The content, the technical fixes, the schema, and the profile and citation work all live on your site and stay there. There is no plugin to remove and no license that expires. We ask for thirty days’ notice, and we hand over the keyword map, the reporting history, and the current priority list so whoever takes over is not starting cold.
How is this different from hiring a freelance SEO consultant?
A good freelance consultant is often excellent value, and the honest answer is that one might be right for you. The difference is coverage. A team covers technical, content, and links at the same time, and does not go quiet during a holiday.
Do you guarantee first page rankings?
No, and be careful with anyone who does. Nobody controls Google rankings, so a first page guarantee is either meaningless or is attached to terms so obscure that ranking for them is worthless. What we commit to is the work: the audit, the fixes, the content, the links, and reporting honest enough to show you when something is not moving.
What are managed WordPress SEO services?
It means the ongoing work of ranking your WordPress site is handled by a team instead of by you. Technical fixes, keyword research, on-page optimization, content, links, and reporting all run on a monthly schedule. You approve direction and read the results. Nobody on your side has to learn a crawler, a rank tracker, or a backlink tool to keep it moving.
What is included in your WordPress SEO services?
A technical audit and the fixes that follow, keyword research mapped page by page, on-page optimization published directly into WordPress, new SEO content, backlink auditing and link acquisition, local SEO where it applies, and monthly reporting on rankings, traffic, and conversions. The Growth plan adds more content and link work each month. Both plans include the technical and reporting work in full from day one.
How long before I see results from SEO?
Technical fixes can show up in weeks. Meaningful ranking and traffic movement usually takes three to six months, and competitive terms can take longer. The variables are your current authority, how much content already exists, and how entrenched the competition is. Anyone promising results in thirty days is either targeting terms nobody searches or is not being straight with you.
