SEO and answer-engine clarity
The SEO should connect the craft, proof, service area, portfolio and questions visitors actually ask. A simple WordPress site can be strong if its pages are clear and internally linked.
The page should give clear facts, not vague promises: who the work is for, what is included, what is not included, what proof is visible and how someone can enquire.

FAQ
Is WordPress suitable for artisans?
Yes, when the website needs to last, be edited, grow with guides or portfolio pages and stay independent from one social platform.
Do artisans need a full online shop?
Not always. A clear showcase website with enquiry can be better when work is custom or made in small batches.
Can Rankelier guarantee Google rankings?
No. Rankelier can build a clean structure and useful content, but does not promise ranking positions.
