Posted 2 weeks ago

Summary

We run a local service business in the mold inspection and remediation space, built on WordPress. Our original city already ranks well, and we recently created a staging version of the site to add two additional office locations. We’re looking for an experienced **Technical SEO + WordPress specialist** to review the staging build, finish anything that may be missing, help create or duplicate a few service landing pages where needed, make sure everything is configured correctly, and help us launch safely without hurting our existing rankings. This is mainly a **fixed-scope, one-time project** — not a monthly SEO retainer. We are not looking for ongoing link building, blog content, or general SEO management. The goal is to get the site properly reviewed, cleaned up, completed, launched, and documented. A quick note on how we work: I have a solid SEO and technical background, but I’m outsourcing this because I don’t currently have the time to handle it myself. Everything delivered will be reviewed and double-checked on our end, so we’re looking for someone precise, detail-oriented, and proactive. If something is missing or could be improved, we want you to flag it clearly. **Our current setup:** * WordPress on Cloudways * Astra theme + Elementor Pro * Rank Math * ACF * WP Rocket * Custom location pages * One Organization schema + LocalBusiness schema for each location * Google Ads Dynamic Number Insertion * CallRail for call tracking **What we need reviewed, completed, or created:** * Confirm proper indexing setup, including which pages should be indexed or noindexed * Make sure staging is not indexable * Plan a safe staging-to-production launch without a risky full-database push * Review schema setup: one Organization schema and one LocalBusiness schema per location * Validate schema using Rich Results testing tools * Confirm NAP consistency across location pages, schema, footer, location hub, and Google Business Profiles * Review on-page SEO: titles, meta descriptions, headings, internal links, image alt text, mobile layout, site speed, and Core Web Vitals * Help create or duplicate a few service landing pages by following the existing page structure/design * Make sure any new service pages are properly optimized for SEO, internal linking, headings, metadata, schema where appropriate, and conversion flow * Set up or verify the 301 redirect from an old city landing page to the new location page * Review GTM, GA4, Google Ads call/form conversion tracking, CallRail, and DNI setup * Make sure DNI does not replace or break the real NAP phone number in the HTML or schema * Confirm Google Search Console is verified * Submit/verify sitemap * Provide basic post-launch monitoring recommendations **Ideal experience:** * Strong WordPress technical skills * Experience with Rank Math, ACF, Elementor, and multi-location site structures * Proven experience with local service businesses * Ability to create SEO-friendly service/location landing pages by matching an existing design * Strong understanding of indexing, schema, redirects, GTM, GA4, GSC, and conversion tracking * Experience using CallRail and Dynamic Number Insertion without causing local SEO/NAP issues **To apply, please include:** 1. Two or three examples of local service or multi-location websites you’ve worked on 2. A quick explanation of how you would review our staging build before launch 3. Your experience creating or optimizing service/location landing pages in WordPress 4. Your experience with CallRail, DNI, and LocalBusiness schema 5. A rough timeline for completing a one-time technical SEO launch review We’re looking for someone who can be thorough, organized, and clear in their recommendations. At the end of the project, we’d like a simple summary of what was reviewed, what was fixed, what was created, what was verified, and any remaining recommendations.
