SEO FOR SMALL BUSINESSES BUILT ON WORDPRESS

Agency-level expertise, without the agency.

Personally delivered by Cheryl Logan Baird
– former board-level Head of Marketing with over 30 years’ experience in marketing and business.

If your website isn’t on page one of Google, you’re invisible to the customers already searching for you. I fix that – the technical foundations, the on-page work, and the content – myself, from start to finish.

No account managers. No juniors. Just over three decades of marketing and business experience applied directly to your WordPress website.

There’s also a newer challenge worth knowing about: as more people turn to AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude and Google’s AI Overviews for answers, the businesses that appear in those responses are almost always the ones with strong SEO foundations already in place. Getting the basics right now is what makes AI visibility possible later.

SEO That Builds Lasting Visibility

Being found on Google isn’t luck, it’s the result of getting three things right together: the technical foundation that lets Google crawl and index your pages properly, the on-page signals that tell Google exactly what each page is about, and the content that proves you’re the right answer to your customers’ questions.

I provide all three as a service, tailored to your business and your competitive landscape – with clear reporting so you always know what’s happening with your organic performance.

You're hiring a former board-level marketing head
- not a junior.

Most SEO work is sold by an agency and quietly handed to junior staff. Mine works the opposite way.

My 30+ years span senior marketing roles, including as Head of Marketing at board level for a large corporate, running national sponsorship programmes for SA Rugby and SA Cricket, and 17 years starting and running my own successful business.

That combination shapes what I recommend, how I prioritise, and how clearly I explain it, and it means I understand the realities you’re working with: real budgets, real deadlines, and work that has to earn its keep.

When you work with me, you get the person who actually does the work.

Common Problems I Solve

Not appearing on Google?

I’ll audit your site, identify exactly what’s holding you back, and implement the technical and on-page improvements that move you up the rankings.

WordPress site slow or failing Core Web Vitals?

I’ll run a technical SEO audit and fix what’s dragging your speed down – plugin bloat, heavy page-builder code, unoptimised images – to get your Core Web Vitals into the green, so slow pages stop costing you rankings and visitors. 

No idea how your website is actually performing?

I’ll set up Google Analytics 4 and Search Console correctly, and build you a clear reporting dashboard so the data is actually readable.
