Hi all long time reader first time talker. So I've got an issue with my site, to cut a long story short this site was formally built on squarespace (I know I know I was new don't judge). The beginning of this year I moved the site to Wordpress, first by building a staging site using breakdance as the builder and eventually porting the domain. For a first time site I don't think I've done bad but there's no doubt in my mind that you guys will probably notice issues.

My business is in a pretty niche industry and in a rural setting so the competition is mostly old unoptimised sites, which has me wondering why am I barely ranking on google. I've hired an SEO company who are charging me £360 a month for 3 article style paid backlinks each month plus some polish on the site here and there.…
