Peter Mahoney - Wordpress SEO Expert

I’ve been working with the web and SEO for 25 years.

And my experience with WordPress pre-dates it even being called WordPress!

Over the years I’ve consistently seen that the #1 best way to attract and retain clients to your business is through SEO (search engine optimisation).

With my wealth of experience I can approach it just as it should be done; in line with industry best practice, using Google’s latest guidance and recommendations, and most of all strategic.

Why is SEO the best digital marketing you can do?

Unlike PPC (Adwords), where you pay by click, SEO done well builds on its success each month. The 15% extra clicks you got last month will compound with this month's success. And the way I work is a simple fixed price. So when you're pulling in 10,000 visits a month you'll pay the same you did at 500.

What is the best approach to SEO?

My WordPress SEO approach is entirely in line with Google and Bing's guidelines - I very much believe the best approach is to give them what they want by fulfilling their guidelines and recommendations.

What is a Google friendly approach to SEO?

The best SEO you can have is aligned to Google's ethos, their future direction and their guidelines and recommendations. When you adopt that strategy, changes to their algorithm (which usually send website owners into a tailspin) actually benefit you!

I offer two main SEO services, a one-off complete SEO overhaul for WordPress, and also ongoing SEO WordPress campaigns.

I also have packages for WordPress support, hosting, backups and more. SEO is included in some of them – these packages are the most cost-effective way to get the most of me and my expert help for your business.

Grow your business with me.

Investing in decent web hosting is a smart move for savvy businesses

By Peter Mahoney

In the digital landscape, your website serves as your virtual storefront, greeting customers and presenting your brand around the clock.

Given its pivotal role, it’s surprising that the crucial decision of selecting a web hosting service often receives less attention than it should.

Let’s explore why investing in quality web hosting is not just a good idea but a fundamental aspect of your online success.

Consider this: you’ve dedicated time, creativity, and resources to develop a website that perfectly encapsulates your brand’s essence. To complement this investment, choosing a robust web hosting service is essential. It’s akin to selecting a prime location for a physical store; the right setting makes all the difference.

Drawing a parallel to traditional business expenses, think about the cost of maintaining a landline. Many businesses willingly incur monthly charges for their phone, recognizing its utility despite dwindling usage. Yet, when it comes to web hosting—a service that has a broader reach and a more significant impact on business growth—a lot of people don’t even want to pay 20% of the cost of the phone line. But a website, when optimally set up, SEO’d and hosted, acts as a tireless advocate for your business, accessible to a global audience 24/7.

The benefits of premium web hosting are huge. Speed, for instance, is a crucial factor. Websites that load quickly offer a better user experience, keeping visitors engaged and reducing bounce rates. In today’s fast-paced digital world, users expect instant access to information. A slow-loading site not only tests their patience but can also drive them directly to your competitors.

Security is another critical consideration. High-quality web hosting provides robust protection against cyber threats, safeguarding your site’s integrity and your customers’ sensitive data. This commitment to security builds trust with your audience, a vital component of customer loyalty and brand reputation.

Furthermore, reliability is a hallmark of premium hosting services. Ensuring your website is always available and performing optimally means you’re always ready to welcome visitors, answer queries, and conduct business. This reliability strengthens your brand’s presence online and supports continuous growth.

To put it simply, decent web hosting is an investment in your website’s performance, security, and reliability. It’s about giving your digital presence the foundation it needs to thrive. Like any wise investment, it costs, but the returns—in terms of site performance, customer satisfaction, and business growth—are substantial.

The decision to invest in quality web hosting should be viewed as an integral part of your business strategy. It’s not merely a technical necessity; it’s a strategic investment in creating a seamless, secure, and swift online experience for your customers. Just as you wouldn’t compromise on the quality of your products or services, the same should hold true for your website’s hosting.

In the grand scheme of your digital marketing efforts, premium web hosting is not a cost but a critical driver of success.

I have over 2,500 5-star feedback reviews (and I’ve never received less than the full five.)

Here’s just one example, from Mike who runs Costello Entertainments:

Migration, Hosting, SEO and Speed Work on our new website all completed quickly and efficiently and Peter was most helpful in fixing an issue with a Popover on the site as well. If you’re thinking about asking Peter to do a job for you or hesitating, JUST DO IT! – He knows programming and the internet inside out, he’ll get the job done for you professionally, with a smile. I wish I could call a plumber or a tradesman to do the jobs I can’t do myself with the same level of confidence.
