Big Red SEO helps businesses build better WordPress websites, improve ranking visibility in search, and fix the website problems that get in the way of both.
We’re Kim and Conor, and we’re the people who actually do the work. There is no account manager passing your project to someone else, no outsourced development team, and no mystery SEO department behind the scenes.
Whether your rankings have slipped, your WordPress site needs work, or you’re starting over with a new website, we’ll help you figure out what actually needs to be done.

Big Red SEO is a husband-and-wife SEO and WordPress web design company based in Omaha, Nebraska.
We handle the strategy, website work, technical troubleshooting, SEO, client communication, and the day-to-day details that come with keeping websites running.
That means when you have a question about your site, you don’t have to wait for an account manager to check with another department. You’re talking directly to the people looking at the website and doing the work.
We’ve worked this way since we started Big Red SEO back in 2010, and we still think it is one of the best ways to build websites, solve problems, and help clients understand what is happening with their online presence.
Most of our work falls into three areas: improving search visibility, building WordPress websites, and fixing websites that aren’t doing what they’re supposed to do.
SEO is not about chasing tricks or making changes just because an SEO tool says something should be green.
We look at how search engines understand your website, what people are actually searching for, how your pages are performing, and what is keeping the site from competing effectively.
That can include technical SEO, content improvements, local search visibility, website structure, internal linking, schema, redirects, Google Search Console analysis, and fixing problems that have accumulated over the years.
We build WordPress and WooCommerce websites that are designed to work for the business behind them.
That means considering SEO, mobile usability, performance, site structure, content, maintenance, and what happens after the website launches, not just how the homepage looks on launch day.
If we're redesigning an existing website, we also pay close attention to what is already working so rankings, indexed pages, backlinks, and important content do not disappear during the rebuild.
Elementor may be acting strange, WooCommerce may need custom work, a plugin may have broken something, rankings may have dropped after a redesign, or the developer who built the site may be nowhere to be found.
We troubleshoot WordPress problems, repair existing websites, write custom code when needed, and help businesses determine whether the right solution is a small fix, a larger cleanup, or a complete rebuild.
Traffic may have dropped and nobody can explain why. You may be paying for SEO without knowing what is actually being done. Your WordPress site may have become difficult to maintain, the original developer may be gone, or a redesign that was supposed to improve the website may have created an entirely new set of problems.
The cause could be SEO, development, content, site structure, performance, or a technical issue hiding underneath everything else.
Our job is to figure out what is actually happening before recommending what you should do about it.
And if the answer is that you don’t need us, we’ll tell you that too!
A lot of SEO problems are really website problems. And nearly all website decisions have SEO consequences.
Changing URLs, rebuilding navigation, removing old pages, replacing content, adding plugins, changing themes, modifying templates, or redesigning a site can all affect how search engines crawl, understand, and rank it.
That’s why our WordPress and SEO work overlap so much.
When we build or repair a website, we’re thinking about search visibility. When we’re working on SEO, we can actually make the technical and development changes the website needs instead of handing you a report and telling you to find somebody else to implement it.
For clients, that usually means fewer handoffs, fewer conflicting recommendations, and a much clearer understanding of why something is being changed.
A website does not exist just to get traffic.
It needs to help the right people understand what you do, trust your business, and take the next step.
Before making SEO recommendations or redesigning a site, we spend time understanding what the business actually sells, which services matter most, who the customers are, what geographic areas matter, and how people normally find and choose the company.
That context matters.
Without it, SEO becomes a list of keywords and website design becomes decoration. Neither one is particularly useful on its own.
Not every problem needs a six-month engagement or a completely new website.
We work with businesses in several different ways depending on what is actually needed.
You might need a complete WordPress redesign. You might need technical SEO work, an audit, content improvements, WooCommerce development, or help figuring out why your rankings suddenly changed.
You may also simply need an experienced set of eyes on a problem that your internal team or existing developer has been fighting for three days.
We handle full projects, ongoing work, and on-demand consulting. The scope should fit the problem, not the other way around.
When you’re ready, we’re ready. Tell us what’s going on and we’ll tell you whether we think we can help.
That might mean a larger project, a few hours of consulting or development work, or simply pointing you in the right direction. We’d rather give you a straight answer than sell you work you don’t need.
We spend a lot of time dealing with things most business owners should never have to become experts in: WordPress code, crawling and indexing, redirects, schema, site architecture, Search Console, Core Web Vitals, plugins, hosting problems, WooCommerce, databases, and whatever strange error appeared after Tuesday’s update.
You do not need to learn all of that just to make a good decision about your website.
Our job is to understand the technical side, explain the part that matters in plain English, and give you enough information to understand why we’re recommending something.
If you want the technical explanation, Conor will happily go down that rabbit hole with you.
If you just want to know whether something needs to be fixed, we can do that too.
SEO, WordPress, search engines, and website technology change constantly. We use the Big Red SEO blog to document what we’re seeing, explain problems we’re fixing, test ideas, and help business owners and developers understand changes that may affect their websites.
WooCommerce is preparing to leave PHP 7.4 and 8.0 behind. The update itself isn’t the scary part. The real concern is finding out which plugins, custom code, payment gateways, and integrations aren’t ready when your store finally has to move forward.
We found a spammy link inserted into another member’s XenForo quote, making it appear the original user posted it. That led us to build BRS Quote Integrity, a XenForo add-on that detects altered quote links, scans historical posts, and shows why AI-written code still needs programmer review.
Your rankings moved and everyone online is blaming a ‘July update’ Google never confirmed. Before you rewrite a single page, here’s how to actually figure out what happened, and what to check first.
Redirect chains can hide for years beneath redesigns, migrations, and old WordPress rules. They may not drain a fixed percentage of link equity with every hop, but they still waste crawl requests, slow visitors down, and create failure points. Here is how to find and fix them correctly.
No. Big Red SEO started in Omaha and we continue to work with businesses throughout Nebraska, but our clients are located across the United States.
Most of our work is handled remotely through phone calls, Zoom meetings, email, and direct access to the websites and systems we're working on.
Yes.
Big Red SEO is intentionally small. Kim and Conor handle all client work directly, including SEO strategy, website development, technical troubleshooting, research, and communication.
You are not hiring us and then being handed off to a junior account manager or an outsourced development team.
Not necessarily.
Some businesses benefit from ongoing SEO because their competitors, content, services, locations, and search results continue to change. Others need a specific problem diagnosed, an audit, technical cleanup, content improvements, or help recovering from a ranking loss.
We recommend the amount of work that makes sense for the situation rather than assuming every business needs the same monthly package.
Absolutely.
A significant amount of our work involves websites we did not originally build.
We troubleshoot existing WordPress and WooCommerce sites, make design and development changes, improve performance, repair technical SEO problems, and help businesses take control of websites that have become difficult to manage.
That is always the goal.
Redesigns can affect rankings when existing URLs, content, internal links, site structure, redirects, metadata, or other important SEO signals are changed without understanding what was already working.
Before redesigning an established website, we identify the pages and content that need to be preserved, improved, redirected, or handled carefully during the transition.
The scope depends on the work.
Some projects are clearly defined website builds or consulting engagements. Other SEO work makes more sense as an ongoing process because search visibility changes over time.
We will explain what we think is appropriate and why before you commit to anything.
Yes.
We build, modify, troubleshoot, and maintain WooCommerce websites. That can include standard ecommerce work as well as custom functionality when an off-the-shelf plugin does not solve the problem cleanly.
That's normal.
You do not need to diagnose the problem before contacting us. Tell us what you're seeing, what changed, or what you're trying to accomplish. We'll help determine whether the issue is SEO, WordPress, content, development, performance, or some combination of them.
Yes. We can rebuild a website from Wix, Squarespace, or another website builder in WordPress, keeping the overall look and feel similar if that is what you want.
We also use the move as an opportunity to clean up the structure, improve usability, preserve important content, and make sure redirects are handled properly if URLs change. If the existing site already ranks in search, we pay particular attention to protecting what is already working during the move.
You don’t need to know exactly what service you need before contacting us.
Tell us what’s happening with your website, what you’re trying to improve, or what has you stuck.
Rankings may have dropped, the website may need to be rebuilt, something may be broken, or another company may have given you a recommendation you want a second opinion on.
We’ll take a look at the situation, ask questions, and tell you whether we think we can help.
No pressure. No mystery sales process. You’ll be talking directly with the people who actually work on your website.
