Boost SA Directory Sites SEO

Job ID: 40240557

Budget: $10 – $30 USD

I run two WordPress-based directory websites that serve a South African audience. Both sites already use RankMath, but organic traffic is still well below their potential. The priority is clear: increase organic sessions on the directory listings themselves, and blogs.

What I need is an end-to-end SEO push—technical clean-up, on-page improvements using RankMath, and a strategy that taps into local search intent across South Africa’s major cities and niches featured in the directories. Local keyword research, structured data checks, smarter internal linking between listings, and a measured off-page plan should all feed into this effort. Everything must be rolled out in a way that is easy for me to maintain inside WordPress.

Deliverables I will use to gauge success:
• Initial audit and benchmark report
• Updated RankMath configuration with explanations of each change
• Optimised directory-listing templates (titles, meta, schema) and a short SOP so my team can replicate the process
• Road-map for authority building and a tracking sheet to monitor traffic gains

When you reply, point me to past work where you have lifted organic traffic for WordPress or directory-style sites—screenshots, Analytics exports or live URLs speak louder than words.
