2. Yoast WordPress SEO Plugin
With more than 5 million downloads, Yoast is the number one SEO plugin used by pro WordPress bloggers. This particular plugin handles various aspects of your site SEO.
As a matter of fact, if you’ve been leveraging a separate WordPress redirection plugin, sitemap, and a few more features, Yoast SEO alone has all of these features and can handle several features for your WordPress site. Once you’re done installing the Yoast SEO plugin, the end has come to those separate plugins.
Here are a couple of things to achieve with the Yoast SEO plugin:
- Add meta value to a single post
- Add meta value to the homepage
- Social media optimization (title, image & description)
- Add meta value to a single post
- Edit .htaccess and robots.txt
- Create a sitemap file
- Control indexing of your blog
- Google search console integration
- Set target keywords and improve on page SEO
At a certain stage, you may likely decide to switch to the pro version of Yoast SEO. It adds some additional features like:
- Yoast Internal linking (facilitates internal linking of your blog)
- Redirection
- Incoming and outgoing internal links
There are a few alternatives to Yoast SEO such as:
- Rank Math
- All in one SEO pack
