Yoast SEO – Advanced SEO with real-time guidance and built-in AI

Yoast's SEO plugin is by far the most complete SEO plugin that exist. Don't waste your time finding the right combination of plugins. This plugin does everything you need. Yoast is very good with SEO, and he is always updating to add new features and keeping up with best practice.



The Most Complete SEO plugin

Really it's a great SEO plugin, it offers all possible SEO options in one place. I prefer to install this plugin for all types of WordPress blogs.

All in One SEO plugin (Solution) for WordPress blogs

Best SEO plug-in

I've been using this plugin since long time, I appreciate it so much

Fantastic SEO Plugin


It is not possible to disable schema output.None of the suggested methods works and they can't make a button to disable it.


Unable to disable schema output


The plugin does what it says.



The 3 stars are because there is one thing that doesn't work as it should and made me move from it to another plugin.



In the schema the price is the one you enter in the backend, if you are adding prices without VAT and expect Woocommerce to calculate the price then you have a problem.



Got most of my products disabled in Merchant Center before I noticed.



Other than that, keep up the good work! 


good plugin


I use Yoast SEO on most of my websites, and it consistently delivers great results. It's a very complete and functional tool that simplifies on-page SEO and helps ensure my content is optimized for search engines. While it's an excellent plugin overall, there’s always room for improvement. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enhance their site's visibility!


Reliable and Comprehensive SEO Solution


Some times lags, some codes issue after installing , otherwise ok


ok-ok


The interface is clean, friendly, and makes SEO feel less intimidating. It is a solid choice for beginners who want quick wins without a steep learning curve. That said, the premium price feels hard to justify when other plugins give you more for less.


Smooth Experience but Could Be Better Value


I can confidently say this is the best SEO plugin ever made for WordPress. Its excellent features, regular updates, and step-by-step guidance set it apart from similar plugins. One of the things I like about this plugin is the checklist available in the post editing section, which guides you on how to optimise your content for the keyword. Green means excellent, orange means acceptable, and red means you need to work more seriously on the content. But with its guidance, you can handle it easily.

Bruce Clay SEO WP™ puts powerful needed features right into the hands of the writers creating content in WordPress. It is fully compatible with the Yoast SEO plugin, as well.
What makes this plugin unique: It enriches your publishing workspace with SEO insights based on real-time search results and analytics data. In other words, you can see real-world insights while you work in WordPress. Integrations with SEOToolSet®, Google Search Console and Google Analytics make this possible.
The Bruce Clay SEO plugin works like software as a service (SaaS). Rather than a hard-coded checklist approach to optimizing a post or page, this plugin has a live connection with the SEOToolSet software. It analyzes your keywords and competition in real time.
You see on-page recommendations that are customized per keyword. So your page can better compete for visibility in the search engines.
In the WordPress editor, you can:
<ul>
<li>Enter more than one focus keyword per page.</li>
<li>Analyze the top-ranked competitors without leaving WordPress.</li>
<li>See customized recommendations for keyword usage and content length.</li>
<li>Highlight keywords to easily see how well they are distributed through the content.</li>
<li>Check the readability level of a page and compare it to keyword competitors.</li>
</ul>
In the Bruce Clay SEO dashboard, you can:
<ul>
<li>See which are the top-performing pages and authors on the site.</li>
<li>View analytics data such as number of search impressions and click-throughs.</li>
<li>Identify problems with mobile performance.</li>
<li>Be alerted to duplicate content on the site.</li>
<li>Know how much content the site has for each keyword.</li>
<li>See how each page is performing, using integrated Google Analytics data.</li>
<li>View top-performing posts per author, measured by visitors.</li>
</ul>
Compatibility with Yoast: Bruce Clay SEO is fully compatible with the Yoast SEO plugins. If Yoast is active on the site, then the plugin uses the title tags, meta descriptions, and canonical and meta-robots directives from Yoast and disables those features within Bruce Clay SEO in order to avoid any conflict.
If Yoast is not being used, additional tabs let you enter meta tags and search directives for the page right in the WordPress editor.
Subscription Cost: Monthly subscription is $24.95/month per domain and includes all the plugin features plus use of the SEOToolSet for additional tools and reports. Try the plugin free for the first 7 days. You can cancel anytime.
