RankMath-based technical + on-page SEO, tuned for search and AI answer engines.
What does WordPress SEO optimization actually include?
It covers three layers: technical SEO (site speed, schema markup, XML sitemaps, crawlability), on-page SEO (title tags, header hierarchy, internal linking), and increasingly, AEO/GEO — structuring content so ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews can quote it directly. Dotance audits and fixes all three using RankMath as the implementation layer.
Most "SEO services" stop at keyword-stuffed meta descriptions. We configure RankMath's technical layer properly — canonical tags, XML sitemap submission, schema.org markup (Organization, Article, FAQ, LocalBusiness where relevant) — then rewrite on-page content around real search intent, not keyword density. Increasingly, we also structure content for answer engines: question-based subheadings with direct answers immediately following, so your pages have a shot at being the source an AI assistant cites.
What's included: full RankMath technical audit, schema implementation, on-page rewrite for up to 10 priority pages, internal linking pass, and a monthly ranking report.
Common Problems We Fix
My site isn't showing up in ChatGPT/Perplexity/Google AI Overviews at all.
AI engines pull from pages structured with a clear question, a direct 1-3 sentence answer, and schema markup confirming what the content is — most sites bury answers in marketing paragraphs with no clear Q&A structure. Fix: rewrite priority pages with question-based subheadings and answer-first paragraphs (AEO/GEO formatting), plus FAQ schema.
I installed RankMath but nothing changed.
RankMath installed with default settings does almost nothing — it needs the sitemap actually submitted to Search Console, schema types actually assigned per page/post, and redirects actually configured. Fix: full technical audit, not just plugin activation.
Google is showing an old title/description that doesn't match my page.
Usually a cached SERP snippet, or a missing/conflicting meta title letting Google auto-generate one instead. Fix: set explicit RankMath meta title/description per page and request re-indexing via Search Console.
My blog posts rank for nothing even though I write a lot.
Usually thin content answering a vague topic broadly instead of one specific question deeply, with no internal linking back to service/product pages. Fix: rewrite around a single, specific search intent per post + internal link map.
Duplicate content warnings in Search Console.
Common with WooCommerce (variant URLs), tag/category archives, or "?" query parameters getting indexed separately from the canonical page. Fix: canonical tags set correctly via RankMath, noindex on thin archive pages.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a one-time fix or ongoing?
Technical setup is one-time; content and rankings need ongoing attention — we offer both a one-time audit and a monthly retainer.
Do you guarantee page-1 rankings?
No — anyone who guarantees rankings is misrepresenting how search works. We guarantee the technical and on-page work is done correctly.
What's schema markup and why does it matter?
Schema is structured data that tells Google (and AI engines) exactly what your content is — a review, an FAQ, a product — increasing your odds of a rich result or a direct AI citation.
What's the difference between SEO and AEO/GEO?
SEO targets ranking in traditional search results; AEO/GEO targets being the source an AI assistant quotes or summarizes directly — the techniques overlap but AEO/GEO cares more about answer-first structure than keyword density.
Do you use RankMath or Yoast?
RankMath — its free tier includes schema types and redirect management that Yoast gates behind a paid tier.
Can you fix a Google manual action/penalty?
We can audit and remove the underlying cause (spammy links, cloaking, thin content), but reconsideration approval is Google's call, not ours.
