Good SEO Tool

PROS

In the SEO community, Yoast is a well-known tool. On-page SEO is effective with them. I appreciate the fact that it offers guidance on title tags, meta headers, H1s, and other elements. This plug-in can perform just about anything and is nearly a jack of all trades. There are several great aspects about this plugin that I admire, not only because it is so simple to utilize, but also because it offers a lot of functionality.

CONS

The cost of Yoast SEO is an issue, and the premium edition costs much more than the free edition. I assume it's the same for everyone. For the price and many premium features free in Rank Math that's why I move on. That's why I move on to Rank Math, which has a low price and many premium features with the free version.

Yoast Is Good But Not Secure

Overall I am fine to use yoast.

CONS

There is nothing related to function i least like but i have faced security issue with Yoast SEO if i didn't update the plugin for long time.

Yoast SEO Wordpress Plugins Makes SEO a Breeze for Small Businesses

Ultimately, good SEO boils down to good content and Yoast SEO Plugin for Wordpress provides numerous ways of evaluating content and settings. The configuration page is wizard-like so the initial setup and configuration is straight forward.The things that really stand out are the attention to detail in terms of page content such as readability, keyword focus, and relevance to search phrase. The more I tune a page to take into account the recommendations, the better my page rankings get.

PROS

Being able to manage and analyze SEO within Wordpress is key! Being able to evaluate SEO success in individual pages/posts is essential. There's definitely more than I make use of that can benefit larger operations.

CONS

I can't say there's anything I don't like about Yoast SEO Wordpress Plugin.

Reason for choosing Yoast SEO

When I first became interested in SEO back in 2013, I did a lot of searching on the internet for best practices and recommendations. Yoast kept popping up as one of the leaders, so when I saw they offered a Wordpress plugin I installed it and the rest is history. I may have tried one or two other plugins initially, but I got rid of them after installing the Yoast plugin.

Yoast SEO is the Best WordPress Plugin

I have very professional experience because I have improved the SEO of my WordPress website. I can see my website pages and articles are appearing in the search engines when people search for different keywords. This has been happened just because of this professional SEO plugin.

PROS

If you are running a business website, then obviously you can also see the websites of your competitors. You need a better ranking in the search engines, so you can get more visitors from Google, Bing, and other search engines. This is possible if you are using Yoast SEO in your WordPress website. Yoast SEO is a unique plugin that offers so many incredible SEO features. Even you can also attract more visitors from Social media. You can easily install and activate the plugin. After activation, you can analyze each page, post, and product of your website.

CONS

The internal links suggestion options should tell more options. No doubt there are a lot of incredible features and I never faced any complicated issue or technical cons during the use of Yoast SEO features.

Your #1 destination for all your SEO needs!

When we set up our blog back in 2016, we had no idea how SEO worked. Yoast was our gateway into how the internet, especially written content, was being consumed. It helped us target our audience better while keeping the content specific and precise. Overall, it helped us reach a bigger audience while also putting us in the top pages of all the major search engines.

PROS

Yoast covers almost all areas of SEO. From finding appropriate keywords to better targeting, Yoast does it all. The readability index is very helpful - it has made a few of our average writers become exceptional at their craft.

CONS

There really isn't a lot left to be desired. If there are limitations that we come across, a revisit to this section will be arranged in the future.

Been using the toast SEO wordpress plugin for years. I like the easy UI, the step by step guidance on how to optimize content, the syncing of keywords and notifications about possible issues with se optimization. Have been recommending it to everyone dealing with SEO, be it experienced or newbie.

It's great so far. Would expect more from the paid version compared to free one, currently seeing little incentive to upgrade.

Yoast SEO is the Best SEO Tool for Writing Amazing Website Content

I love it, no words can actually describe my actual experience with Yoast SEO.

PROS

I have used several SEO tools but I have never come across one that is as effective as Yoast SEO. This WordPress plugin is just awesome. I don't think, I have the right words, to describe it as is. Yoast SEO has software that scans your content, identifies errors, and makes suggestions to help you optimize your content fully to rank higher on Google. Effective use of Yoast and complying with the suggestions given can make your site rank on the first page of search results within less than 6 months. They also have a free subscription to help start-up businesses to grow. It is also simple to use.

CONS

Absolutely nothing. Everything is okay. However

Overall Best and Professional WordPress SEO Plugin

I can see a very big improvement of the users on my websites after using this plugin. I have edited all the previous pages content according to the Yoast SEO recommendations, and now I always add proper SEO options in my posts, pages and products.

PROS

Yoast SEO is the best and amazing WordPress plugin, there are a lot of SEO features you can apply after the installation and activation of this plugin in your Website. If you want to see high rankings for your website content in the search engine then always use Yoast SEO. Because It will allow you to add title, description and other SEO features according to the search engines requirements.

CONS

Sometimes the improvement of the posts and pages readability is quite difficult for the beginners, but according to my experience, after using the plugin for few days anyone can also do this. So all other features are amazing and nice.

Yoast was my go to

Overall it was better than nothing, and honestly had it not been for other new to the market plugins that were better, I would most likely be still using it. Yoast was for my company a great option for getting clients to look into their organic website traffic.

PROS

When I used yoast, it was about the only recommended SEO plugin on the market. It did the job but it was very limited on the free version and was constantly prompting you to get the paid version. I have to say that it did its job and helped with some of the SEO needed to get a site in better shape than having no tools at all.

CONS

The biggest negative was how "heavy" it was considering it was not the full version of the plugin. It also left out some really vital components of basic SEO, which was justified by the fact that we were using the free version.

Reason for choosing Yoast SEO

I chose Yoast at the time because it was the best SEO plugin for the needs of my clients and in spite of their free version not being as robust as some of the newer plugins, it gave a great deal of value.

Online Business has no future without SEO

I am using Yoast SEO plugin for checking the SEO of my content and optimizing content according to its suggestion. Without the plugin, it takes lots of time and effort to create optimized content that will rank on google search.

PROS

SEO and readability checker is the best thing that I like about the Yoast SEO plugin. It is suitable for any templates like eCommerce, blog, or portfolio and easily sync with our data and gives appropriate suggestion for better ranking of our articles.

CONS

While checking SEO, it focuses on exact keywords only and ignores the LSI keyword, which something leads us to over-optimize of our content.

PROS

SEO specialist's Wordpress Friend

Overall, regardless of the issues I have, I would wholeheartedly recommend this for any Wordpress site, big or small. I am a happy camper as far as Yoast is concerned. Would like Yoast to venture out of Wordpress on to other CMSs as well. Cheers!

PROS

Yoast makes life easy for wordpress builds for SEO specialists. While it wont automatically optimise a wordpress site for search engines, the plugin helps rule out the usual suspects. The ability to add titles and descriptions for all pages and posts in one place makes life easy.

CONS

Sometimes the bulk editor has a hard time finding all the pages and posts on the site. So one needs to go in manually and hunt those pages down. Can be a bit tricky if your site has pages running in hundreds. Also, the fact that you can see only 10 or so pages in the bulk editor section is cumbersome. Would like to see up to 100 pages on one screen and the title and meta description boxes on the same page and not in different tabs. Something I saw in Silverstripe.

Yoast SEO makes sure I'm getting the most out of my blog

Extremely good so far! I would straight up recommend the free plan of Yoast SEO to every one looking to dive into the world of SEO!

PROS

Within Wordpress, Yoast SEO works flawlessly within the blog post section of the CMS. It shows me where I'm currently losing points in terms of SEO, such as meta description, key phrases, but also offers tutorials and advice on how to achieve a high SEO rank.

CONS

I upgraded to the pro plan in November last year and found that it can be a little costly to new users, especially providing that Wordpress is a free CMS.

Good for beginners but has limitations

I like Yoast for beginners or individuals with minimal SEO knowledge who want a decent foundation for each post. However, it is very limited for experienced SEOs and can even create challenges where clients think a post isn't good because it doesn't fit Yoast's very narrow set of parameters.

PROS

Yoast provides a quick snapshot to help new SEO users ensure they are meeting the minimum standards for SEO. It covers a lot of the basic "best practices" for SEOs who are still learning the rules.

CONS

Yoast has not adapted well to semantic search or synonymous keywords. It can be challenging to get the "green check" on posts that are targeting numerous keywords at once.
