✓ Yoast Premium Yoast is a plugin that helps with SEO. It provides a checklist that assesses each page / post on your blog or website to allow you optimize for your selected keyword. Yoast Premium also helps analyze metadata on your site and create a sitemap for Google. And if you have many old posts or pages on your blog or website, Yoast creates a list of “orphaned content” or content that has no links pointing to it so that you can develop better internal links on your site.

✓ Yoast
Still one of our favourite WordPress SEO tools, Yoast does a lot of the general SEO setup a site owner needs to get their site ready to get visibility on Google. To really get good results you’ll need to do some serious keyword research (or get an expert to do it) so you know what to put in that “Focus Keyword” box and get nice green symbols on your pages/posts. That said, it’ll still do a lot of good work for you by default.

The Yoast SEO plugin is another example of a premium WordPress plugin that has a brilliant free version. Even if you installed the Yoast SEO plugin and did nothing else you would still put your website ahead of competitors from an SEO perspective. If you take a little bit of time to actually configure the Yoast plugin (it’s very easy), you’ll be rewarded with better search engine rankings. If you use every facility the Yoast plugin has to offer (yes, even the free version), you’ll be doing yourself and your website a huge favour. SEO can be a complex topic, but by installing the Yoast SEO plugin you’ll be making SEO efforts not only easier, but a lot more effective.

Yoast SEO is a really handy plugin for business owners and marketers alike, taking some of the heavy lifting out of optimising your website for technical SEO items (such as metadata, canonical tags, URLsstructures, XML sitemaps and Schema) as well as helping improve the content structure and performance of your website.

Yoast’s slogan is “SEO for Everyone,” and that’s exactly why I love it. It’s a great beginner SEO plugin that walks you through exactly how to optimize your blog content. Yoast has a rating system (green = good, yellow = OK, red = needs improvement) that visually shows you where to make changes on both the front and back ends of your post.

✓ Yoast SEO
If you own a website you know that SEO is important. Let me be clear this plugin isn’t going to get your website ranking all on its own however it does make some of the more fiddly SEO jobs much easier. Things like meta descriptions, sitemaps, setting up 301 redirects and integrating your site with Google Analytics and Google Search Console will all take minutes with the help of this plugin.

✓  Yoast SEO
The great thing about Yoast is that you can handle a lot of your SEO needs on a post-by-post basis, straight from the content editor. It’s really nice to not have to switch to a different screen just to enter your meta title and description for search engines. Plus, Yoast can tell you (with a green, yellow, or red light) whether or not your post is optimized correctly.
