A 10-minute triage first
The five checks that move something measurable are on page two, so the file is useful before you finish it.
How to check each one
Every item says where to look — the WordPress screen, the Search Console report or the free tool that answers it.
Fillable and printable
Real checkboxes and an action-plan page. Fill it in on screen or print it and work through it with a pen.
What is inside
Five sections, each one a single sitting. Every check says what good looks like and exactly where to look to answer it.
Section 1
5 checksTitles & meta descriptions
The cheapest way to win more clicks from rankings you already have. The goal is not keyword stuffing — it is making each page obviously relevant and worth the click.
Section 2
6 checksStructure & internal links
Most WordPress sites lose ranking power because pages compete with each other and links are scattered. Clean structure tells search engines what each page is for, and walks visitors toward the pages that earn money.
Section 3
5 checksPerformance & image hygiene
Speed work does not need a full technical audit to start. Most sites unlock real gains from oversized images, unused plugins and front-end clutter alone.
Section 4
5 checksIndexing & content hygiene
None of the work above counts if Google cannot reach the page, or if it is buried under hundreds of near-empty archive URLs.
Section 5
4 checksTrust & local signals
For a service business, the pages that convert are the ones that prove you are a real, findable company. These four checks do more for enquiries than another 1,000 words of copy.
Also included
- A 10-minute triage of the five highest-impact checks
- A score out of 25 with what each band means
- A 30-minute weekly review routine
- A fillable action plan for your top three tasks
Before you enter your email
Is it actually free?
Yes. Confirm your email and the download link arrives immediately — there is no card, no trial and no upsell wall in front of the PDF.
Do I need SEO tools to use it?
No. Every check is answerable with WordPress itself, Google Search Console and a browser. Where a free tool helps, the checklist names it.
What happens to my email address?
You get the checklist, then one practical WordPress or SEO email a week. Unsubscribe from any of them in one click. Your address is never sold or shared.
Will this work on a site I did not build?
That is who it is for. Most of the checks are about what the site is doing now, not how it was built — no developer access required beyond your normal WordPress admin.
Want the full pack?
The free checklist covers SEO. The WordPress Site Owner's Checklist Pack adds launch, monthly maintenance, security hardening and safe plugin updates — plus the expanded SEO audit routine.
