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.

SEOKEY

SEOKEY’s goal is simple: to make SEO easier for everyone.
New in SEOKEY 2.0: enhanced keyword menu and ALT Editor, OpenGraph and Twitter Card Data
<h3>SEOKEY: the simplest and most effective SEO plugin</h3>
SEOKEY tells you what you need to do next to boost your SEO! Discover our genuine SEO audit tool, our powerful advice for each content, our automatic SEO optimizations and our easy-to-use settings.
Since 2008, we have been improving our SEO expertise for all types of websites: B2C or B2B, for small websites or large international corporations. When it comes to WordPress, we made a straightforward observation: current SEO plugins are too complex, they don’t guide users in their next actions, and they have a lot of technical SEO weaknesses.
SEOKEY is the all-in-one plugin to rank higher in search engine, audit your content, and determine the NEXT action you should take.
And our SEO plugin contains everything you need to manage your SEO: meta tags, redirects, alt editor, and much more. With the <a href="https://www.seo-key.com" rel="nofollow ugc">SEOKEY PRO plugin</a>, go even further with an enhanced audit, Google bot 404 monitoring, and Search Console connection.
<h3>Why SEOKEY is different?</h3>
We give you all the keys to succeed in Search Engines :
<ul>
<li>A global SEO audit tool for WordPress with practical SEO advice and contents analysis</li>
<li>Automatic SEO technical optimizations without frustrating options</li>
<li>A complete SEO toolbox (redirections, image ALT editor, etc.)</li>
<li>A really easy-to-use interface</li>
<li>All essential SEO features: Title, Meta Description, Canonicals, Open Graph and Twitter Card data, Head cleaning and much more</li>
</ul>
<h3>WordPress SEO audit</h3>
<h4>Global SEO audit for WordPress</h4>
There is no point in getting tips on a single content if you don’t have the whole picture. With SEOKEY, you can audit all your content in one go to improve your visibility in Google and other Search Engines!
You can then easily consult all your SEO issues, or see at a glance which content is causing the most problems.
Our audit module is unique because we are the only SEO plugin to analyze 100% of your content, prioritizing URLs and issues to be resolved.
<h4>Advice with real SEO data in SEOKEY PRO</h4>
With PRO version, we go even further with a more detailed analysis of all contents: we give you a main directive based on real traffic data: optimize, change the keyword to target, do nothing, wait, etc.
SEOKEY PRO is the only SEO plugin providing a global SEO audit and contents analysis based on real trafic data!
<h4>Individual SEO audit and content analysis for each content</h4>
When you edit a specific content in WordPress, we also provide you with a full SEO content analysis. You will know what you ned to fix.
With PRO version, we also display your SEO data for each content: clics, impressions and visible keywords count
<h3>Automatic SEO technical optimizations</h3>
In WordPress, many SEO optimizations should be active by default. This is our belief as SEO experts since 2008. So why would we force you to check and fill in some options when they should always be active?
That’s why SEOKEY automatically deploys SEO improvements without any click: we clean your HTML , we disable date archives, we redirect attachment pages, we convert 404 errors on old cache files to 410 headers, and so on.
Need more information about it? Check here all our <a href="https://www.seo-key.com/features/optimizations/" rel="nofollow ugc">SEO optimizations</a>

The result: you can configure and use SEOKEY much faster than with any other SEO plugin.
With our global audit and our individual content analysis, you’ll be able to correct all your content immediately!
<h3>SEO toolbox (redirections, images ALT editor, etc.)</h3>
SEOKEY provides you with all basic features needed in SEO, without installing third-party plugins or the need to upgrade to the PRO version. Our SEO plugin offers a complete WordPress SEO toolbox:

<li>we create new management pages for your Post Type archives if you have any (for example, your shop product page with Woocommerce)</li>

</ul>

SEOKEY – Powerful SEO plugin with Expert Insights and SEO Audit


Great plugin, simple to use, with great help, guides & infos. Audit is THE key and game-changer functionality. Great support as well.


Finally a SEO plugin for everybody!


I am very satisfied with SEOKey. The plugin is didactic and guides us step by step to optimise the content of our websites. I particularly like the tool that lets you audit your website: SEOKey gives you all the advice you need to correct what's wrong. I now recommend SEOKey to all my customers.


A very good SEO plugin


Clairement plus simple que les autres plugins utilisés précédemment. L'outil de mise en place est didactique et permet d'activer les bons paramètres en moins d'une minute.Après l'activation, un diagnostique est effectué pour savoir ce qu'il reste à améliorer "concrètement" à la main, dans le contenu (les étapes que seul un humain peut faire).Bref, je recommande.


Didactique et plus simple que les autres


I think this is the first and only plugin that really understand what your site needs, and it does with the softness of a baby's skin: you touch it, you love it!


Very light and useful


For once an SEO plugin is not a gas factory, everything is well explained, it’s a pleasure! Special mention for the very well explained audit generation.


Super easy to use 🤩
