Category: Content Strategy

Content is not blog posts — it is infrastructure. Every article, landing page, and resource you publish either builds authority or wastes bandwidth. We cover the architecture behind content that ranks, converts, and compounds: hub-and-spoke models, pillar pages, content velocity, and the editorial strategies that turn a restoration company website into the most authoritative source in their market.

Content Strategy covers editorial planning, hub-and-spoke content architecture, pillar page development, content velocity frameworks, topical authority mapping, keyword clustering, content gap analysis, and publishing workflows designed for restoration and commercial services companies.

    What Is the WordPress Schema Starter?
    FAQPage, LocalBusiness, and Service schema injected on your top 10 WordPress pages — not a plugin, not auto-generated, not bloated markup that fails validation. Hand-crafted JSON-LD, validated with Google’s Rich Results Test on every page. Your most important pages become rich-result eligible within days, not months.

    Schema markup is the single most underdeployed SEO tactic on most WordPress sites. The reason isn’t ignorance — it’s friction. Schema plugins produce invalid output. Hand-coding JSON-LD is tedious. And most SEO agencies charge for 6-month retainers when all you actually need is a focused sprint on your 10 most important pages.

    The Schema Starter is that sprint. We identify your top 10 pages by traffic or ranking proximity, determine the right schema types for each, write valid JSON-LD, inject it via WordPress REST API, and validate every page. Done in under a week.

    What We Inject (Per Page)

    • FAQPage — For any page with a Q&A section (produces FAQ accordions in Google results)
    • LocalBusiness — For your homepage and location pages (reinforces NAP, service area, hours)
    • Service — For service landing pages (signals service type, provider, area served)
    • Article — For blog posts included in your top 10
    • BreadcrumbList — Applied to all 10 pages

    Pricing

    Package Includes Price
    Starter Schema injection on top 10 pages, Rich Results validation $299
    Starter+ Everything in Starter + FAQ content written for pages missing Q&A sections $499

    What We Need From You

    • Your WordPress site URL
    • Application password (or we identify top 10 pages from public data and you confirm)
    • Business name, address, phone, and hours (for LocalBusiness schema)
    • List of top 10 pages (or we pull from analytics/ranking data)

    Get Schema on Your Top 10 Pages

    Share your site URL and we’ll identify your top 10 schema candidates and confirm scope before you pay anything.

    → will@tygartmedia.com

    Email only. No commitment to reply. Turnaround quoted within 1 business day.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Will this conflict with my existing schema plugin (Yoast, RankMath)?

    We inject schema as a standalone JSON-LD block in page content — separate from plugin-generated schema. In most cases they coexist cleanly. If there’s duplication, we identify and remove it during the validation pass.

    How do you determine which 10 pages to prioritize?

    By traffic (if you share GA4 access), ranking proximity to featured snippet triggers, or a list you provide. We can also pull ranking data via DataForSEO for sites where analytics access isn’t available.

    What does the Rich Results validation confirm?

    Google’s Rich Results Test verifies the schema is valid, parseable, and eligible for rich result placements. Every page passes before the engagement closes — we fix any validation errors as part of the service.

  • 5-Article AEO Cluster — Answer-Engine-Optimized Content for One Keyword Cluster

    Tygart Media / Content Strategy
    The Practitioner JournalField Notes
    By Will Tygart
    · Practitioner-grade
    · From the workbench

    What Is a 5-Article AEO Cluster?
    Five fully written articles targeting a single keyword cluster — each optimized for featured snippet capture and direct answer placements. Every article includes a definition box, question-led heading structure, FAQ section with FAQPage JSON-LD schema, and speakable blocks. Published as drafts to your WordPress site via REST API.

    A single optimized article can capture one featured snippet. A five-article cluster captures the whole topic — the primary question, the supporting questions, the comparison angles, and the how-to layer. Together they signal topical authority to Google and cover enough surface area to intercept multiple PAA (People Also Ask) placements simultaneously.

    This is the minimum viable content cluster for establishing answer-engine presence in a new topic area.

    What Each Article Includes

    • 800–1,500 words (depending on package)
    • Definition box (40–60 words) optimized for featured snippet capture
    • Question-led H2 structure with direct answers in first 50 words per section
    • 5–8 FAQ Q&As with FAQPage JSON-LD schema
    • Speakable schema on key paragraphs
    • Article JSON-LD schema
    • Internal links connecting all 5 pieces as a hub-and-spoke cluster

    Pricing

    Package Word Count Per Article Price
    Standard 800–1,000 words $499
    Deep 1,200–1,500 words $749
    Pillar 1,500–2,000 words + comparison tables $999

    What We Need From You

    • Target keyword or topic cluster (we’ll suggest if you’re unsure)
    • Target audience (who’s searching)
    • WordPress site URL and application password for draft publish
    • Any competitor URLs you want us to outflank

    Start Your AEO Content Cluster

    Tell us your target keyword or topic and your site URL. We’ll confirm the cluster outline before writing begins.

    → will@tygartmedia.com

    Email only. No commitment to reply. Turnaround quoted within 1 business day.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do you pick the 5 article topics within the cluster?

    We analyze the keyword cluster for primary intent, supporting questions, comparison angles, and how-to sub-topics — then map one article to each layer. You approve the outline before we write.

    Are these published live or as drafts?

    Published as drafts to your WordPress site via REST API. You review and publish when ready.

    Can I provide my own outline or topic list?

    Yes — if you have a specific 5-article map in mind, we’ll write to it. We’ll flag any topics that overlap significantly or that we think should be adjusted for better cluster coverage.

    · From the workbench

    What Is an SEO Health Snapshot?
    A one-page diagnostic of your WordPress site’s on-page SEO foundation — title tags, meta descriptions, schema presence, internal link orphans, and taxonomy structure — delivered as a prioritized action report within 2 business days. Not a 60-page PDF you’ll never read. A clear list of what’s broken, ranked by impact.

    Most WordPress sites have the same 5–8 fixable SEO problems. Missing or duplicate title tags. Meta descriptions that are either absent or auto-generated garbage. No schema markup on posts that could be earning FAQ accordions. Posts with zero internal links pointing to them. Category pages with no descriptions. None of these require a 6-month engagement to fix — but you need to know which ones you actually have.

    The SEO Health Snapshot tells you exactly that, in plain language, ranked by what to fix first.

    What the Snapshot Covers

    • Title tag audit — Length, keyword presence, duplicates, missing titles across all published posts
    • Meta description coverage — Missing, truncated, or auto-generated descriptions flagged with recommended replacements for top 10 posts
    • Schema gap report — Which post types are missing what schema (FAQPage, Article, HowTo, LocalBusiness)
    • Internal link orphan scan — Posts with zero inbound internal links that are invisible to crawlers
    • Taxonomy health check — Category/tag bloat, missing descriptions, slug issues
    • Priority action list — Top 10 fixes ranked by estimated SEO impact

    What You Get

    Deliverable Format
    Full audit report Google Doc or PDF
    Priority fix list (top 10 actions) Prioritized checklist
    Title tag recommendations for top 20 posts Spreadsheet
    Schema gap summary Table by post type
    Internal link orphan list Post IDs + URLs

    Pricing

    Site Size Price Turnaround
    Up to 50 posts $99 2 business days
    51–200 posts $149 3 business days
    200+ posts $199 4 business days

    Share your WordPress URL and approximate post count. We’ll confirm scope and send a payment link within 1 business day.

    → will@tygartmedia.com

    Email only. No commitment to reply. Turnaround quoted within 1 business day.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do you need WordPress admin access to run this?

    We use WordPress Application Passwords (read-only scope is sufficient) and your site’s publicly accessible pages. No admin password required.

    What happens after I receive the report?

    The report is yours — implement it yourself or hire us to execute the fixes. The priority fix list maps directly to our AEO/GEO Sprint, Schema Injection Sprint, and Taxonomy Rebuild services if you want us to handle execution.

    Is this a one-time report or ongoing?

    One-time. We recommend re-running every 6 months or after any major content push. Repeat snapshots for existing clients are $49 flat.

  • Topic Intelligence Squeeze — Pull TI Data Into Your Content and Article Knowledge Base

    Tygart Media / Content Strategy
    The Practitioner JournalField Notes
    By Will Tygart
    · Practitioner-grade
    · From the workbench

    What Is the Topic Intelligence Squeeze?
    The Topic Intelligence Squeeze is a structured data extraction and injection process — pulling keyword rankings, entity signals, content gap data, and optimization recommendations from Topic Intelligence (platform.topicintelligence.ai) and using that data to enrich your article knowledge base and direct specific post optimizations. It turns TI’s data layer into actionable content decisions.

    Topic Intelligence surfaces signals that most content teams miss or can’t act on fast enough — near-miss keywords sitting at positions 11–20, entity gaps between your content and ranking competitors, content freshness signals on posts that used to rank but are slipping. The data is there. The bottleneck is turning it into optimized posts quickly enough to matter.

    The squeeze process extracts TI data for a target domain, maps it to specific posts in your WordPress site, and feeds it directly into the optimization pipeline — so near-miss articles get refreshed, entity gaps get injected, and freshness signals trigger content updates before rankings drop further.

    Who This Is For

    WordPress site operators who have Topic Intelligence data available for their domain and want to close the gap between TI’s recommendations and actual post-level optimization execution.

    What the Squeeze Covers

    • Near-miss keyword extraction — Identify all keywords your site ranks positions 11–20 for, mapped to the specific posts responsible
    • Entity gap analysis — Compare your post entity coverage against TI’s recommended entity set for each keyword cluster
    • Freshness signal triage — Identify posts with declining rankings that need content updates vs. schema/AEO fixes
    • Knowledge base injection — TI data formatted and stored in your article knowledge base for ongoing session reference
    • Optimization priority queue — Ranked list of posts by estimated ranking uplift potential from TI data

    What We Deliver

    Item Included
    TI data pull for your domain ✅
    Near-miss keyword map (post-level) ✅
    Entity gap report per keyword cluster ✅
    Freshness signal triage report ✅
    Optimization priority queue (top 20 posts) ✅
    Knowledge base injection (TI data formatted for AI sessions) ✅
    First optimization pass on top 5 priority posts ✅

    Ready to Turn TI Data Into Published Optimizations?

    Share your domain and confirm you have Topic Intelligence access. We’ll run the squeeze and deliver the priority queue within 3 business days.

    → will@tygartmedia.com

    Email only. No commitment to reply.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do I need a Topic Intelligence account for this service?

    Yes. You need an active Topic Intelligence account with data for the domain you want squeezed. We access TI through your credentials during the engagement.

    What’s a near-miss keyword and why does it matter?

    A near-miss keyword is one your site ranks positions 11–20 for — meaning you’re on page 2 or the bottom of page 1, where almost no clicks happen. These are the highest-ROI targets for content optimization because you’re already most of the way there — a targeted refresh can move them to page 1 positions where clicks actually occur.

    Can this be run repeatedly on the same domain?

    Yes — and it should be. Running the squeeze every 60–90 days catches new near-misses as your content base grows and identifies freshness signals before rankings drop significantly.

  • YouTube Watch Page Factory — Shorts and Videos Into WordPress Content at Scale

    Tygart Media / Content Strategy
    The Practitioner JournalField Notes
    By Will Tygart
    · Practitioner-grade
    · From the workbench

    What Is a YouTube Watch Page Factory?
    A Watch Page Factory turns a YouTube channel’s video library into a collection of SEO-optimized WordPress posts — each embedding a specific video, adding creator context, optimizing for search, and linking to relevant site content. The channel’s existing video content becomes an indexable, discoverable content library on your website instead of a closed YouTube garden.

    YouTube’s algorithm distributes your videos. Your WordPress site ranks for them in Google Search. These are different audiences, different intent signals, and different ranking systems — and most publishers treat their YouTube channel as completely separate from their web presence.

    The Watch Page Factory connects them. Each video gets its own WordPress post: embedded video, creator or subject bio, episode context, SEO title targeting the video’s subject matter, FAQ schema covering questions the video answers, and internal links to related content. A channel with 200 Shorts becomes a content library with 200 indexed, rankable pages.

    We built and operated this for Mint Comedy — every Comedy Cellar set, every comedian profile, every Mint-produced short has a watch page. The factory handles deduplication automatically so we never create a page for a video that already has one.

    Who This Is For

    WordPress site operators who run or partner with a YouTube channel producing regular video content — Shorts, full sets, tutorials, interviews — and want that video content to drive web traffic and SEO value, not just YouTube view counts.

    What the Factory Builds Per Video

    • Responsive video embed — YouTube oEmbed with proper aspect ratio, no layout shift
    • Creator or subject bio — Matched from site’s existing creator/entity database or written fresh
    • Episode context block — Series name, platform/venue, release date, content tags
    • SEO-optimized title and slug — Targeting the video subject, not the YouTube title
    • FAQPage schema — Questions the video answers, structured for rich results
    • CTA block — Platform-specific call to action (subscribe, watch more, sign up)
    • Internal links — Connected to related content already on the site

    What We Deliver in a Setup + First Batch

    Item Included
    YouTube Data API v3 channel scan ✅
    Notion deduplication log setup ✅
    Watch page template (customized to your site + brand) ✅
    First batch: 20 watch pages published as drafts ✅
    Creator/entity matching to existing site content ✅
    WordPress REST API publish pipeline ✅
    Ongoing batch playbook for future videos ✅

    Ready to Make Your Video Library Work for Web SEO?

    Share your YouTube channel URL and your WordPress site URL. We’ll scan the channel, show you how many publishable videos you have, and scope the first batch.

    → will@tygartmedia.com

    Email only. No commitment to reply.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Does this work for long-form videos as well as Shorts?

    Yes. The factory handles both. Shorts and long-form videos get slightly different page structures — Shorts pages are leaner, long-form pages include a more detailed episode breakdown and chapter context if available.

    How does deduplication work?

    Every published video ID is logged to a Notion database. Before each batch run, the factory cross-checks all channel video IDs against the log and skips any that already have a watch page. You never publish duplicate pages accidentally.

    Can this work for any YouTube channel or only channels I own?

    The factory can scan any public YouTube channel. For embedding and watch page creation, you need the rights to embed the video content — either because you own the channel or have explicit permission from the channel owner.

  • Competitor Pivot Cluster — 5-Article Content Strategy Built Off a Competitor URL

    Tygart Media / Content Strategy
    The Practitioner JournalField Notes
    By Will Tygart
    · Practitioner-grade
    · From the workbench

    What Is a Competitor Pivot Cluster?
    A Competitor Pivot Cluster uses a competitor’s high-ranking page as a strategic brief — analyzing what it ranks for, where its content is thin, what questions it doesn’t answer, and what audience segments it ignores — then building a 5-article cluster for your site that targets all of it. The competitor did the keyword research. You do the better content.

    The highest-confidence content strategy isn’t guessing what people search for — it’s looking at what already ranks and identifying where the gap is. A competitor page ranking #3 for a valuable keyword is proof the audience exists. Your job is to outflank it on depth, entity coverage, and answer completeness.

    We built a skill for this. It pulls the competitor URL, runs it through content analysis, identifies the keyword clusters it’s capturing, maps the questions it’s not answering, and produces a 5-article cluster that covers the territory more completely. Every article in the cluster targets a specific gap or audience segment the competitor missed.

    Who This Is For

    WordPress site operators who’ve identified a competitor page ranking for keywords they want to capture — and want a structured, research-backed content strategy built around it rather than a single article that tries to do everything.

    What the Cluster Produces

    • Competitor URL analysis — Keyword clusters, entity coverage, content gaps, unanswered questions, and audience segments ignored
    • 5 article outlines — Each targeting a specific gap: one primary pivot article + 4 supporting pieces covering angles the competitor missed
    • Full article writing — All 5 articles written with AEO/GEO optimization, FAQPage schema, and speakable blocks
    • Internal link architecture — Hub-and-spoke linking structure connecting all 5 pieces and pointing to your existing authority pages
    • WordPress publish — All 5 articles published as drafts to your WordPress site via REST API

    What We Deliver

    Item Included
    Competitor URL gap analysis report ✅
    5-article cluster with topic + angle mapping ✅
    Full article writing (5 pieces, 800–1,500 words each) ✅
    AEO/GEO optimization on all 5 articles ✅
    FAQPage + Article schema on all 5 ✅
    Internal link architecture ✅
    WordPress draft publish via REST API ✅

    Have a Competitor Page You Want to Outflank?

    Send the competitor URL and your site URL. We’ll pull the gap analysis and show you the 5-article cluster strategy before you commit.

    → will@tygartmedia.com

    Email only. No commitment to reply.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What makes this different from just writing 5 articles on the same topic?

    The gap analysis structures the cluster around specific weaknesses in the competitor’s content — unanswered questions, missing audience segments, thin entity coverage. Each article has a reason to exist that’s grounded in what the competitor doesn’t cover, not just what we feel like writing about.

    Can you pivot off multiple competitor URLs?

    Yes — we can run the analysis against 2–3 competitor URLs and build a unified cluster that targets the combined gap landscape. This works well when there are 2–3 dominant players in a niche, each strong on different subtopics.

    Does the cluster target the same keyword as the competitor?

    The primary pivot article targets the same or closely related keyword. The 4 supporting articles target long-tail variations and related queries the competitor either ranks weakly for or misses entirely.

  • Cross-Pollination Content Strategy — Authority Page Variants Across a Site Family

    Tygart Media / Content Strategy
    The Practitioner JournalField Notes
    By Will Tygart
    · Practitioner-grade
    · From the workbench

    What Is Cross-Pollination Content Strategy?
    Cross-pollination is a multi-site content strategy where your highest-ranking authority pages on one domain generate locally-relevant variant articles on sister sites — each variant covering the same topic from a different geographic or audience angle, and each naturally linking back to the original authority page. The result is a network of content that reinforces each other’s authority instead of competing.

    Most multi-site operators make one of two mistakes: they either publish identical content across their site family (duplicate content penalty waiting to happen) or they treat each site as a silo with no connection to the others (wasted authority potential).

    Cross-pollination threads the needle. The Beverly Loan page ranking for “Rolex watch collateral loans” becomes the hub. New York Loan publishes “Rolex collateral loans in Manhattan” — genuinely different content for a different market — that links naturally to Beverly’s page. Palm Beach publishes the Florida angle. Each variant earns its own rankings and passes authority back to the hub.

    We built and executed this strategy for the Borro family of luxury lending sites. We’ve now productized it.

    Who This Is For

    Operators managing 2+ WordPress sites that share a business umbrella, a topic cluster, or a geographic network — and who want to build content that compounds across domains instead of starting from zero on each one.

    What the Strategy Delivers

    • Authority page identification — DataForSEO scan of all sites in your family to find the highest-ranking pages by domain and topic cluster
    • Variant architecture — Mapping which authority pages generate variants on which sister sites, avoiding duplication and maximizing geographic or audience differentiation
    • Variant article writing — Locally-relevant articles (800–1,200 words each) with genuine local intelligence, not just search-replaced location names
    • Natural interlinking — Each variant links to the hub authority page in context, not in a footer link farm
    • Notion log — All executed clusters logged to prevent future duplication across sessions

    What We Deliver

    Item Included
    DataForSEO authority page scan across all sites in family ✅
    Cross-pollination map (which pages spawn which variants) ✅
    First cluster execution (5 variant articles) ✅
    Natural interlinking injection on all variants ✅
    Notion execution log (prevents duplicate work) ✅
    Ongoing cluster playbook for independent execution ✅

    Are Your Sites Competing With Each Other or Compounding?

    Tell us the URLs of the sites in your family. We’ll pull a quick authority page scan and show you the first 3 cross-pollination opportunities.

    → will@tygartmedia.com

    Email only. No commitment to reply.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Isn’t publishing similar content across sites a duplicate content risk?

    Only if the content is actually duplicated. Cross-pollination variants are genuinely different articles — different geographic market, different audience angle, different local entities and examples. They cover the same topic the way two local news outlets cover the same story: same subject, different perspective.

    How many sites do you need to run a cross-pollination strategy?

    A minimum of 2 sites sharing a topic cluster. The strategy compounds with more sites — a 4-site family generates significantly more interlinking opportunity than a 2-site pair.

    Does this work for geographically separate markets or topic-based site families?

    Both. Geographic families (same service, different cities) are the clearest use case. Topic-based families (sites covering different aspects of a shared industry) also work well — the variant logic is audience-based rather than location-based.

  • Content Brief Factory — Brief-to-Publish Workflow for Multi-Site WordPress Operations

    Tygart Media / Content Strategy
    The Practitioner JournalField Notes
    By Will Tygart
    · Practitioner-grade
    · From the workbench

    What Is the Content Brief Factory?
    The Content Brief Factory is a brief-to-publish content workflow — starting from a target keyword and site, it produces a research-backed brief, writes the core article, identifies which audience personas need their own variant, generates those variants with AEO/GEO optimization baked in, and publishes everything directly to WordPress. One brief becomes a content cluster. One session handles what would take a week of manual work.

    Content agencies have a brief problem. Either briefs are too thin (keyword + title, nothing else) and writers guess at the angle, or briefs are so detailed that writing the article takes half as long as writing the brief. Neither scales when you’re managing content across 10 sites and 4 verticals simultaneously.

    We built the Adaptive Variant Pipeline to solve this for our own operation. The brief is structured but lightweight — keyword, site, intent, target persona. The pipeline does the research, writes the core article, then determines which personas genuinely need a different angle (not just a different intro) and generates those variants. Each variant gets AEO/GEO optimization applied before publish.

    Who This Is For

    Content agencies and in-house content teams managing 3+ WordPress sites who need to produce multiple audience-targeted articles from a single research pass without duplicating work or diluting quality.

    What the Pipeline Produces From One Brief

    • Core article — 1,200–2,000 word pillar piece targeting the primary keyword with full SEO/AEO/GEO treatment
    • Persona variants — 2–5 audience-specific rewrites (e.g., homeowner vs. adjuster vs. contractor for restoration content) — only generated where genuine knowledge gap exists, not just reformatted intros
    • AEO layer — Definition box, FAQ section, speakable blocks on all variants
    • Schema — FAQPage + Article JSON-LD on every piece
    • Internal link map — Identified link opportunities to existing posts before publish

    What We Deliver in a Setup Engagement

    Item Included
    Brief template customized to your verticals and sites ✅
    Persona library (2–6 personas per site) ✅
    AEO/GEO optimization checklist applied to pipeline ✅
    WordPress REST API connection for direct publish ✅
    First content cluster (3–5 pieces) executed as proof of concept ✅
    Pipeline documentation + handoff ✅

    Ready to Turn One Brief Into a Content Cluster?

    Tell us how many sites you’re managing, your current brief process, and where the bottleneck is. We’ll show you exactly where the pipeline compresses your workflow.

    → will@tygartmedia.com

    Email only. No sales call required.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How is this different from just using Claude to write articles?

    The pipeline adds structured brief intake, persona library application, adaptive variant logic (not fixed counts — only generates variants where genuine audience divergence exists), AEO/GEO optimization on every output, and direct WordPress publish via REST API. It’s a system, not a prompt.

    Can this be configured for a specific niche or vertical?

    Yes — and it should be. The persona library, brief template, and entity sets are all configured per-vertical during setup. A restoration pipeline looks completely different from a luxury lending pipeline.

    Does the content quality gate run on every piece?

    Yes. Every article passes through a cross-site contamination scan (ensuring no client content leaks between sites) and an unsourced claims scan before publish. Nothing goes live without passing the gate.

  • WordPress Schema Injection Sprint — JSON-LD Structured Data for 20 Posts

    Tygart Media / Content Strategy
    The Practitioner JournalField Notes
    By Will Tygart
    · Practitioner-grade
    · From the workbench

    What Is a Schema Injection Sprint?
    A schema injection sprint is a concentrated pass across 20 WordPress posts — identifying the right JSON-LD structured data types for each post, generating valid schema markup, injecting it via WordPress REST API, and validating every post with Google’s Rich Results Test. In one sprint, 20 posts become eligible for rich result placements they weren’t eligible for before.

    Schema markup is one of the highest-leverage, most consistently skipped SEO tasks on WordPress sites. It’s not that operators don’t know it matters — it’s that doing it right on 20 posts manually takes hours, and most schema plugins produce bloated or invalid output that fails the Rich Results Test anyway.

    We inject schema programmatically. Every post gets the right schema type for its content — not a one-size-fits-all Article block — and every result is validated before we move on.

    Who This Is For

    WordPress sites with existing published content that aren’t appearing in rich result placements (FAQ accordions, HowTo steps, review stars) despite having the content to qualify. If your posts have FAQ sections but no FAQPage schema, you’re invisible to the placement Google is actively filling.

    Schema Types We Inject

    • FAQPage — For any post with a Q&A section. Produces FAQ accordion in Google results.
    • Article — Standard news/blog schema with author, publisher, datePublished, dateModified.
    • HowTo — For step-by-step content. Produces visual step display in rich results.
    • Service — For service landing pages. Signals service type, provider, and area served.
    • LocalBusiness — For location-specific content. Reinforces NAP data and service area.
    • BreadcrumbList — Site navigation schema. Applied to all posts in the sprint.
    • Speakable — Marks key paragraphs for voice search and AI synthesis.

    What We Deliver

    Item Included
    Schema type selection for all 20 posts ✅
    JSON-LD generation (valid, not plugin-bloated) ✅
    REST API injection to all 20 posts ✅
    Google Rich Results Test validation on every post ✅
    Validation report with pass/fail per post ✅
    Fix pass for any validation failures ✅

    Ready to Make Your Content Rich-Result Eligible?

    Share your site URL and we’ll identify your 20 best candidates for schema injection based on content type and current ranking proximity.

    → will@tygartmedia.com

    Email only. No sales call required.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Will this conflict with my existing SEO plugin (Yoast, RankMath)?

    We inject schema as a separate JSON-LD block in the post content — it doesn’t touch plugin settings or plugin-generated schema. In most cases, the two coexist cleanly. If there’s duplication, we identify and resolve it during the validation pass.

    How quickly will rich results appear after injection?

    Google typically processes schema changes within 2–4 weeks for established sites. Rich result eligibility appears in Google Search Console after the next crawl cycle.

    Can you do more than 20 posts?

    Yes. We can run additional sprints of 20 posts or scope a full-site schema pass. Contact us with your post count and we’ll quote accordingly.

  • WordPress Taxonomy Rebuild — Categories, Tags, and Slug Normalization at Scale

    What Is a WordPress Taxonomy Rebuild?
    A WordPress taxonomy rebuild is a structured cleanup of your site’s category and tag architecture — eliminating redundant categories, normalizing tag usage, fixing broken slugs, injecting SEO meta descriptions into taxonomy pages, and creating a logical content hierarchy that both users and search engines can navigate. It’s the foundation everything else in a WordPress SEO operation depends on.

    Most WordPress sites that have been publishing for more than a year have the same problem: category bloat. Posts assigned to three overlapping categories. Tags that are slightly different versions of each other (“Water Damage” and “water-damage-restoration” and “WaterDamage”). Taxonomy pages with no descriptions, no schema, and slugs that look like they were typed by different people on different days.

    We’ve fixed this on 18+ sites. The pattern is always the same, and the fix is always the same: audit, design, rebuild, inject, verify.

    Who This Is For

    WordPress site owners with 50+ published posts whose category and tag structure has grown organically (read: randomly) and is now a liability for SEO, user navigation, and content discoverability. Common trigger: you’re trying to do internal linking work and discover your categories are a mess.

    What the Rebuild Covers

    • Taxonomy audit — Full inventory of all categories, tags, post counts, and current slugs. Identification of duplicates, orphans, and bloat.
    • Architecture design — Clean category hierarchy built around your content verticals and search intent clusters. Typically 8–15 primary categories, 3–5 subcategories each where appropriate.
    • Tag normalization — Redundant tags merged, casing standardized, slug format normalized. Target: tags that mean something to a user, not internal filing codes.
    • Slug cleanup — All category and tag slugs rewritten to keyword-rich, stop-word-free format and redirects set.
    • SEO description injection — Two-layer descriptions written for every primary category: 140–160 char meta hook + 400–600w editorial body that search engines can index.
    • Post reassignment — All existing posts reassigned to the new architecture via WordPress REST API. No manual clicking.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Will changing slugs break my existing links?

    Slug changes trigger 301 redirects from old URLs to new ones. Existing backlinks and bookmarks continue to work. We configure and verify redirects as part of the rebuild.

    How long does a taxonomy rebuild take?

    Audit and design: 2–3 business days. Execution (REST API reassignment and description injection): 1–2 business days. Verification: 1 day. Total: 5–7 business days for most sites.

    Do you touch post content during the taxonomy rebuild?

    No. The rebuild operates only on taxonomy objects and post-to-taxonomy relationships. Post titles, content, and metadata are not modified during this process.
