Currently, the two most popular SEO plugins are AIO SEO (also known as All in One SEO Pack) and YOAST.

They are complex and reliable SEO solutions trusted by millions of Wordpress users.

AIO SEO has 2 million active installs and 300+ five star ratings, while YOAST has 5 million active installs and more than 23K five star ratings ...

Personally, I am a YOAST fan ... In my opinion is the most complete and most user-friendly SEO solution for Wordpress websites.

I've seen many YOAST-related questions here within WA, so I've decided to create a complete guide ...

If you are interested, follow my lead ...

Hi,
Loved your very informative lesson.
My question is do you need to deactivate the all in one SEO first before you install YOAST or does YOAST just overtake the all in one SEO?
Thanks Sue

You'll use YOAST instead of AIO SEO, so yes, you'll have to delete it ... But, if you don't want to configure YOAST and your already published content manually, you might want to import the AIO SEO settings into YOAST before you remove it.

Very informative tutorial. I haven't used YOAST but the features you have highlighted show it to be very user friendly and configurable to give excellent results. Definitely something I will take a closer look at. Thank you for posting.

So Zed, when you upload Yoast, what happens to the one that we already have? Does it just magically disappear? And how much does the premium version of Yoast cost?

I don't understand Teri ... What should disappear?

YOAST Premium is €79 for one site.
