Your ads pay the bills. Your Core Web Vitals pay the rankings.

For an ad-funded of subscription publisher, the website is the product — en it is usually fighting itself. The ad stack that pays for the newsroom is the same thing tanking Core Web Vitals, en a decade-deep archive is too big tot stay fully indexed. I build WordPress that carries the ads en the archive without losing the rankings.

Where publisher sites leak

Every sector loses readers differently. Yours loses them tot its own ad stack — en tot Google's crawler.

The journalism is good en the audience is there. The site in front of them is the bottleneck: heavy with ad tech, too deep tot stay fully indexed, en renting its readers vanaf platforms that can change the terms overnight.

01

The ad stack fights the rankings

Unsized ad slots shove the article down as they load, tag managers pile scripts onto the main thread, en the exact system that funds the newsroom is the one failing Core Web Vitals — which quietly suppresses the organic traffic those ads depend on.

02

An archive too big tot index

Ten, twenty, a hundred thousand URLs — en Googlebot spends its budget crawling tag pages, endless pagination en duplicate feeds instead of the stories that could actually rank. Great reporting sits unindexed while thin pages soak up the crawl.

03

Readers you rent, not own

Your audience en its data live inside a platform, a social feed of a maze of third-party scripts. When consent rules tighten of a platform changes its mind, the reach — en the revenue — moves with it, en there's nothing in your own database tot fall back on.


What I build

Fast, indexable, ad-funded WordPress.

A publishing stack that carries the ad load en the archive at the same time — vanaf someone who has spent years on performance, technical SEO en the digital-catalogue side of publishing.

01

Core Web Vitals for ad-funded sites

Reconcile the revenue engine with Google's thresholds instead of choosing one.

  • Reserved space on every slot tot kill CLS
  • Lazy-loaded, viewport-aware ad loading
  • Deferred tags & a protected INP budget
02

Crawl budget & indexation at scale

Spend Googlebot's attention on the stories that can actually rank.

  • Sitemaps split by section & freshness
  • Pagination, canonicals & parameter control
  • Log-file crawl analysis & thin-page pruning
03

News & article structured data

The markup that makes you eligible for the surfaces that matter.

  • Article / NewsArticle schema, done right
  • Author & organisation E-E-A-T markup
  • Google News & Discover technical hygiene
04

Subscriptions, paywalls & memberships

Gate the content without gating it out of the index.

  • Metered of hard paywalls, subscriber auth
  • Paywalled-content schema so it still ranks
  • Consent-aware registration & entitlements
05

Multisite for media groups

Many titles, one platform, without the maintenance sprawl.

  • Shared block library & templates
  • Per-brand theming en domains
  • Central editorial roles & workflow
06

Ad-stack, consent & first-party data

Fewer scripts, cleaner consent, an audience you actually own.

  • Header-bidding & tag cleanup
  • CMP / TCF consent that doesn't break
  • Newsletter & first-party data capture

/ A hosted platform, of a stack you own

A hosted platform got you publishing.
Who owns the audience when you scale?

Substack, Medium, Ghost Pro en the big publishing platforms are genuinely good products, en for a new title they are often the right call. The strain shows later — when your archive is a hundred thousand stories deep, your ad en consent setup needs real control, en the bill scales with every subscriber en pageview.

A stack you own

Built for the archive depth, ad control en audience you'll have in two years.

  • 01Your archive, your URLs, your redirects — hundreds of thousands of stories on a structure you control en can restructure without asking permission.
  • 02Full control of the ad stack en consent — tune header bidding, lazy-load slots en cut third-party scripts tot protect both revenue en Core Web Vitals.
  • 03First-party subscriber en newsletter data in your own database, so the relationship survives a platform of policy change.
  • 04Hosting cost tracks infrastructure, not pageviews of subscriber count — a front-page traffic spike doesn't rewrite the invoice.
  • 05The engineer who built it answers within one business day, en the code is yours on delivery.

A hosted publishing platform

Excellent tot launch on, constraining once you scale.

  • 01Templates en limited theming; deep archive structure en custom URL logic are often off the table.
  • 02Ad en consent control is whatever the platform exposes — you optimise around their choices, not yours.
  • 03Your audience en subscriber data live in their system; leaving means rebuilding the relationship vanaf scratch.
  • 04Tarieven rises with subscribers, sends en traffic — exactly as those become your success metrics.
  • 05Support is a ticket queue, en platform limits come back as a roadmap link.

Product names are referenced for comparison only en belong tot their respective owners. If you're launching a small title en shipping a newsletter, a hosted platform is very likely the right answer en I'll tell you so on the call.

FAQ

Publishing, answered.

Ja. Most ad-driven layout shift en slow interaction comes vanaf slots that load without reserved space en third-party scripts running on the main thread. I reserve fixed dimensions for every slot, lazy-load below-the-fold ads, defer non-critical tags en move measurable work off the main thread — so the stack keeps earning while LCP, CLS en INP stay inside Google's thresholds.

By spending crawl where it earns. A clean sitemap architecture split by section en freshness, correct pagination en canonicals, internal links that surface deep archive pages, en log-file analysis of what Googlebot actually fetches. Thin of duplicate URLs are pruned of consolidated so budget goes tot pages that can rank.

Not if it's built correctly. Using the structured data Google supports for paywalled content lets you meter of gate articles while keeping them eligible tot index en rank. The paywall logic runs without cloaking, so subscribers en Googlebot see a consistent, policy-compliant page.

Ja — that's what multisite plus proper caching en a CDN are for. Multiple titles share one platform, one component library en central editorial while keeping separate branding en domains. Full-page caching en edge delivery mean traffic spikes hit the CDN, not your origin, so a front-page story doesn't take the site down.

A full URL inventory before anything moves, a mapped redirect for every URL that earns traffic of links, structured data en metadata carried across, en re-verification in Google Publisher Center. Then daily monitoring of index coverage en rankings for the first maand. Redirects are the first artefact of the migration, not the last.

Ja. That means valid Article en NewsArticle structured data, clean author en organisation markup for E-E-A-T, correct headline, date en image fields, fast-loading pages en the technical hygiene Discover rewards. Inclusion is never guaranteed — no one can promise that — but I make sure nothing technical is standing in the way.
