I’ve been doing this for 25+ years.

Yes, don’t pay someone to “do SEO” for your site.

No, don’t use CF7 or JetPack. CF7 used to be good, and then they disabled the ability to use reCAPTCHA 2.0, and since then they suck. And JetPack just sucks, uses too many server resources.

I hate Yoast SEO, since their developers have HORRIBLE quality control. But they’re probably the simplest SEO plugin to use. Use it. And then write meaningful posts, and use the EXCERPT field, and use compelling titles.

CF7 is OK if you use this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpcf7-recaptcha/

Make sure your site loads FAST — use a decent hosting service, and good caching plugins, and minification plugins, and run your site through CloudFlare.

I do work for Gateway Pundit and Pro Trump News and The Liberty Daily many other sites. I can help, but I would need to charge a bit to get your site whipped into shape. Let me know if I can help further.
