SEOJack vs WordPress.com
Hosted CMS for blogs and content-heavy sites

Where WordPress.com wins
- Enormous plugin ecosystem — almost any feature you can imagine exists as a plugin.
- Full ownership on self-hosted WordPress.org — no dependency on any single vendor.
- Unmatched global community, documentation, and developer resources.
Where SEOJack wins
- WordPress.com is restricted on lower plans; self-hosted WordPress requires meaningful technical maintenance. One missed plugin update can compromise your site.
- The average small business owner spends 3–8 hours per month maintaining a self-hosted WordPress site. Those hours compound over years into a significant time cost.
- SEO on WordPress requires deliberate setup — Yoast configuration, schema plugins, speed optimisation. SEOJack ships SEO-ready from day one.
- When something breaks on WordPress, you fix it (or pay someone to). With SEOJack, you message Jack.
When you should pick WordPress.com
You have WordPress experience, enjoy building with it, and want the freedom of the most popular CMS. The investment in setup and maintenance makes sense for your situation.
When you should pick SEOJack
You want a website that works and stays working without learning plugin management, theme conflicts, or why your site just went down at 7pm on a Friday.
