Hog the Web launches transparent, no-contract WordPress SEO services designed to improve visibility across Google, AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Gemini.
Traverse City, MI (PRUnderground) August 9th, 2026
Hog the Web, a WordPress web design, development, support and search optimization agency, has launched an expanded suite of productized WordPress SEO services designed to help businesses improve their visibility not only in traditional Google search results, but across the rapidly evolving AI search landscape.
The new offering combines traditional search engine optimization (SEO) with technical WordPress implementation, content development, authority building and optimization for emerging discovery platforms such as Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini and other answer engines. Unlike conventional SEO retainers where deliverables may vary from month to month, Hog the Web has structured their services around clearly defined work, transparent pricing and 30-day campaigns with no long-term contract requirement.
"Our goal was to create a transparent, evidence-based SEO model where clients can clearly see what they are paying for, whether that's adding schema markup to an existing page, fixing a technical problem, creating a new search asset or building authority around their brand. And as search expands beyond Google, that work also needs to help businesses become easier for AI systems to understand, trust and surface." - Founder of Hog the Web
From Google Rankings to a Brand's Entire "Search Surface"
Hog the Web's approach reflects a broader shift in how people discover and evaluate businesses online. While traditional Google rankings remain central to SEO, web users are increasingly exposed to brands through AI search , maps, social media spaces, and other search platforms.
The agency describes this broader ecosystem as a company's "Search Surface." Its WordPress SEO work therefore addresses not only keyword rankings, but also structured content that fits search intent, schema markup, brand and entity consistency, backlinks, local authority signals, internal linking and other factors that can make a web page easier for both search engines and AI systems to understand.
The productized service model also takes advantage of Hog the Web's WordPress development background. Rather than delivering an audit with a big daunting technical to-do list, the Hog the Web team works directly inside WordPress to resolve the issues like indexing errors, redirects, Core Web Vitals, schema, plugin and database performance, crawlability and other technical SEO concerns, as well as content improvement.
Case Studies Demonstrate Measurable Search Growth
Their new SEO service page highlights several campaigns demonstrating the agency's approach.
For Imhoff Fine Residential Painting, Hog the Web worked on a WordPress site that had suffered a severe loss of organic visibility. Organic traffic recovered from fewer than 10 visits per day to more than 300 daily visits, while reported leads increased by 70% compared with the original site. The campaign included traffic diagnosis, URL and redirect recovery, restoration of important service and blog content, preservation of backlink equity, local SEO work and conversion-focused website improvements.
Company founder Doug Imhoff summarized the turnaround simply: "Look at what happened to my traffic when I went back to Hog the Web... Boom!"
For Catchlight Painting, Hog the Web reports growing the company's Google keyword footprint from 448 ranking keywords to 1,484, representing a 231% increase. Work included on-page optimization, local authority development, technical cleanup, backlink outreach and SEO-focused article creation.
In another content-focused campaign, the agency transformed a video from physician and author Dr. William Li into a search-optimized article that generated 2,871 Google clicks and helped produce hundreds of new mailing-list signups, demonstrating the potential for existing expert content to be repurposed into durable organic-search assets.
Past performance does not guarantee equivalent results for every website; SEO outcomes vary based on competition, existing authority, technical condition, content, market conditions and the scope of work performed. Hog the Web itself makes the same distinction on its service page.
Transparent Pricing and No Long-Term SEO Contracts
Businesses can purchase individual SEO deliverables or enroll in ongoing growth plans.

Current standalone services include SEO strategy roadmaps, technical SEO audits and fixes, optimization of existing pages, high-intent content creation, backlink outreach and local SEO work. Monthly plans currently begin at $399 per month, with larger Growth and Accelerator packages available for organizations pursuing more aggressive search growth.
All ongoing plans operate without long-term lock-ins. Clients can upgrade, downgrade or cancel on a monthly basis, while reporting identifies work such as pages optimized, content assets created, links acquired and technical issues addressed.
The productized model is intended to make SEO more accessible to small and midsized organizations that may be wary of traditional agency retainers or unclear reporting.
