A WordPress SEO consultant audits your site against the things Google cares about (technical health, Core Web Vitals, on-page structure, content quality and crawlability) and then either fixes them or directs the team that does. At Smart AI Studio we work with UK SMEs to get WordPress sites ranking and converting, using AI to accelerate the diagnostic and rebuild work.
Yes. Most WordPress sites we see are slow because of plugin bloat, oversized images, poor hosting, or a heavy theme. We assess what is causing the problem, prioritise the fixes by impact, and either implement them or rebuild the site properly using Claude Code if a rebuild is the cheaper long-term option.
It depends on the foundations. If the theme is sound and the plugin stack is reasonable, optimisation usually wins. If the site is built on a bloated page builder, has been patched for years, or fails Core Web Vitals badly, a rebuild often costs less than ongoing fixes. We will tell you honestly which one you need.
AI accelerates the parts of SEO that used to be slow: technical audits, content gap analysis, schema generation, internal linking, and rebuild work using Claude Code. The strategy and judgement stay human; AI just removes the bottleneck so SMEs see results in weeks rather than quarters.
Usually a lot less than a redesign and rebuild. Engagements are quoted per project rather than as open-ended retainers. Most SMEs start with a free discovery call, then a paid technical and content audit, followed by a defined fix or rebuild project. You see exactly what the work is and what it costs before committing.
Yes, WordPress only. The SEO principles are the same across platforms, but the implementation differs. We would rather be exceptional on WordPress than spread thin across unfamiliar platforms.
Smart AI Studio is a WordPress SEO consultancy for UK SMEs. I fix the technical, content and Core Web Vitals issues holding WordPress sites back, and rebuild sites that are past saving using Claude Code — so SMEs get rankings, speed and conversions without an open-ended agency retainer.
Most SME WordPress sites underperform because they were built years ago, never properly optimised, and now sit behind a wall of plugins. Rankings drift, Core Web Vitals tank, and content gets published into the void. A WordPress SEO consultant fixes that with senior judgement and AI-accelerated execution — not a 90-page audit and a retainer.
A full audit of crawlability, indexation, schema, internal linking, redirects and site architecture against Google's ranking signals. Output is a prioritised fix list, not a 90-page PDF.
Fix the LCP, CLS and INP issues that quietly suppress your rankings. Image optimisation, plugin rationalisation, theme cleanup and hosting-level changes where they matter.
Content strategy, keyword research, on-page optimisation and AI-assisted briefs that target the terms your SME can realistically win.
Fix broken plugins, theme conflicts, security issues and update lag — the unglamorous work that keeps WordPress sites ranking.
When the site is past saving, I rebuild it using Claude Code — faster, cheaper and cleaner than a traditional agency build, with SEO and Core Web Vitals baked in from day one.
Light-touch monthly oversight covering rankings, Core Web Vitals, indexation and content priorities — strategic eyes on the site without an agency retainer.
Twenty years of marketing leadership, AI-accelerated execution using Claude Code, honest scoping (fix or rebuild — I'll tell you which), a trusted UK network for design and content, and per-project pricing instead of open-ended retainers.
