Everything Below Is Included
One price covers the lot. There is no upgrade tier holding a feature back.
- Four Pages Optimized a Month
- Indexing and Crawl Problems Resolved
- Internal Links Into the Rest of the Site
- Schema That Describes Each Page
- Pages Written Around What Buyers Search
- On-Page Optimization
- SEO Content Writing
- Content Kept Current
- Headings and Structure That Match Intent
- Redirects Handled When a Page Moves
What the Managed Part Actually Means
Existing pages that have slipped get rewritten before new ones are commissioned. And each month you are told what moved, what did not, and what we intend to do about the second list.
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.
Technical Fixes on Every Page We Write
Schema, internal links, headings, indexing problems, and redirects are part of the work on each page we optimize, not a premium add-on.
Content Written, Not Just Briefed
A brief is not a page. Each piece is drafted from live search result data, then published into WordPress already formatted, internally linked, and mapped to a keyword no other page of yours is chasing.
AI Answers Tracked Every Day
AI Visibility asks 25 buyer questions of Claude every day and reports how often you are named against up to three competitors. Each other engine is $49 a month.
Who This Comparison Is For
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. We work on the location pages; the profile and citations stay with you.
WooCommerce Stores That Need Category Pages to Rank
Category and collection pages do. They can be among the four pages we optimize each month, with the product schema they need for rich results.
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.
Choose Conductor if
- You buy enterprise software with a long contract
- You have people to configure and act on it
- You track many domains and pages at scale
Choose Cascadia if
- You compete on local search with location pages
- You run a WooCommerce store that needs category pages to rank
- You want pages written and published, not a platform
How Our WordPress SEO Process Works
The first month is agreeing the pages and setting up the tracking. After that the work settles into a monthly rhythm of four pages written and published, the fixes that go with them, 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 Agree the First Four Pages
We agree with you which four pages come first, and why: pages that already rank on page two, service pages with weak intent coverage, and questions your buyers ask that you do not answer yet.
- 3
We Fix, Write, and Publish
We publish everything into your WordPress install ourselves, on staging first where a change carries real risk, and you review before anything goes live.
- 4
We Report, Then Reprioritize
Each month you get Google clicks, impressions, and positions against the month before, and how often AI assistants named you, next to a plain-language account of what we did and what it moved.

What does Cascadia do that Conductor leaves to me?
We publish the changes and you approve them. 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.
What is included in your WordPress SEO services?
Page Optimization: four pages a month rewritten around what your buyers search for, with the schema, internal links, headings, indexing fixes, and redirects those pages need, published directly into WordPress. Search Reporting: a monthly Google Search Console summary. AI Visibility: 25 buyer questions asked of Claude every day, against up to three competitors. Visibility Pro is $1,200 a month per website, against $1,348 bought separately. Four more pages a month are $600, and each additional AI engine is $49 a month.
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.
Is WordPress good for SEO on its own?
WordPress gives you a good foundation. Clean URLs, easy metadata, and a huge plugin ecosystem all help. What it does not give you is a strategy, or the technical tuning that separates a site that loads fast from one that merely runs. The platform removes some obstacles. It does not decide what you should rank for or earn you the right to rank for it.
Do I still need an SEO plugin like Rank Math or Yoast?
Yes. Rank Math and Yoast handle the plumbing: title tags, meta descriptions, sitemaps, and schema output. They are the tools, not the strategy. A plugin will tell you a page scores poorly. It will not research your market or write the page. We work with the plugin you have and do the writing.
Do you write the content, or do I?
We write it. Each piece starts from live search data, is drafted and optimized by our team, and is published into your WordPress install already formatted and internally linked. You review before anything goes live. If you have writers in house, we will brief them instead and optimize what they produce, whichever fits how your team already works.
Will you make changes to my site directly?
Yes. That is the point of a managed service. We work in your WordPress install and publish the changes ourselves, on a staging copy first where the change carries any risk. You get told what changed and why. The alternative, where an agency emails you a list of recommendations to implement yourself, is where most SEO retainers quietly stall.
Are SEO services worth it for a small business?
It depends on whether people search for what you sell. If they do, organic traffic compounds in a way paid traffic does not, and it keeps working after you stop spending. If your customers come entirely from referrals, or your niche is too small to generate search volume, your money is better spent elsewhere. We will tell you which one you are before you sign up.
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?
Partly. Location pages can be among the four pages optimized each month, written with genuinely different content rather than one page with the city name swapped out. Google Business Profile management and directory citation cleanup are not part of Visibility Pro.
