I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds interesting enough to me to take a peek and see what it's about. Let me see. I will check this out and get back to you. Thanks
Thank you. I was going to ask the community about this. I've using Yoast for years for my day job site and really like. When I made my site here All in One SEO was recommended. I'd prefer to keep using Yoast and rank as well as I would with All in One SEO?
Hi Jason,
Good to see you here. Jay is using Yoast, and he must know it! :))
Ask him in the webinar today!
Stefan :))
It would probably be a good idea to wait sometime after it becomes available and out of beta to actually update.
That way all the bugs will be worked out.
Hi Chris,
If everyone thinks like you it won't lol ;-)
But it is the safer way for anyone who does not want to break his website.

Hi Stefan,
This sure sounds very promising!
I've using All-in-One since the beginning because that's what the training oriented.
But I always hear how great Yoast is and I'm considering to start using it.
Have you had any experiences with All in One? If so, how does it compare to Yoast?
Thanks in advance!
Hi Eliane,
All in one is what I wanted to use, but my WordPress Premium Theme is not compatible, so I had to use Yoast.
Yoast is great in use, especially for us beginners, then I upgraded and tried their link solver aaaargggnnnn that was bad, to difficult to use, so I was disappointed. I gave it back (30 days money back guarantee) and I had to look for another solution.
Then I found WP META SEO, this SEO tool is amazing, has so many additional options which Yoast has not like mass editing all in a table form, for pictures this is awesome to do your SEO on them. I bought the pro for the relink and I was amazed also in table form so easy to use. :)) and only half the price of Yoast.
The only thing it has not are the grammatic / spelling infos traffic lights, i liked that about Yoast, but SEO is more important, so now I am using this tool.
I will test the new Yoast on another website of mine to experiment and see if they have positive changes now.
So I had no experience with All In One but I will do a review on it this year so I can write about it.
Kyle says it is a good one, but Jay from the webinars uses Yoast, so Yoast must be good as well, why would Jay use Yoast if it is not that good in ranking as All In One.
Hope this helps.

Hi Stefan,
Thank you for taking the time to answer me in such a detailed way. I’m actually bookmarking it for future reference.
I thought the same thing about Jay using Yoast. It has to be a good tool if he is using it.
I’ll keep researching a little further before making a final decision whether I should switch to Yoast or not.
Thanks again and all the best!
Eliane
You are more than welcome Eliane. :)
Glad to help you out. Whenever you have a question, just ask, I may know the answer or help you finding one.
All the best,
Stefan
When I switch from all in one SEO to Yoast I could not index my website for nearly 2 months. But it worked fine again after that.
Not index? How do you mean? Will be interesting to know, sounds like AIO is not compatible to Yoast?
Thanks for letting me know. That sounds bad...
Do you think it was worth it? Do you like Yoast better than All in one?
Yes Yoast is far easier,
That is why I brought it up.
WP META SEO is like Yoast, extremely easy, it has some functions Yoast does not have. It is 100% compatible and can import all Yoast SEO settings so no extra work to be done.
Yoast 7 is out now
Stefan
Yes, I did but I have no idea why it happened all I know is that with future updates I could reindex my website from google search console. the bug just patch up.
Hello William,
That is a good way to avoid bugs, hey but if we all do, can the release be bugged too? ;-) lol
