Good SEO Tool
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.
CONSThe 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 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.
PROSIf 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.
CONSThe 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.
PROSYoast 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.
CONSThere 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.

Toast SEO has helped me rank organic content at top, with ease
The best SEO tool for wordpress sites, if you follow the optimization guidelines and do your research on keywords beforehand, you can surely climb to top of search engines for your content.
PROSBeen 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.
CONSIt'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.
PROSI 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.

Best On-Page Seo Wordpress Plugin
I think premium version is not so useful for me as free version has everything a SEO content writer requires. Overall I am satisfied with free version
PROSIt's free version has lot of features. It helps in keyword optimization any blog or post. Changes are Realtime. Most amazing feature is it highlights the text with needs improvement and rank blog as you make changes. It is a good SEO software for all bloggers.
CONSYoast does not work effectively with Elementor plugin, have no idea whether it is Elementor plugin issue or Yoast . My only concern is its high premium price. When I write 10000 words article, number of focus keywords can go up to 15 to 18 which can be over optimized by google algorithm.

"One of the Best SEO Tool on the Market"
My entire SEO experience has always been profitable, I mean great, and this SEO tool is excellent for bloggers.
PROSFor every website we create for a client, we use Yoast. It handles all of your SEO needs and is easy to use. The ability to integrate with Google Search Console is fantastic. Additionally, it offers the choice of pinging and submitting your updates to GSC for quicker indexing. The category slugs, SILO, and Meta Data are all added to each page using Yoast.
CONSActually, there isn't much to dislike. The majority of the functions either contain instructions to assist you to comprehend the selections or are rather simple. They do an excellent job of linking out to well-written documentation clarifying the topic for those alternatives that are very complex. The business also offers no-cost training on a variety of subjects.

Great SEO tool for beginners
If you're new to SEO I would highly recommend Yoast. It makes it really easy to keep track of everything you need to include in your writing. Even after practicing SEO for a few years I still use the Yoast plugin because it's like a nice little checklist that reminds me of everything I need to do for proper SEO in my articles.
PROSYoast is incredibly easy to use and is perfect for anyone just starting out with SEO. I used the Yoast WordPress plugin on my first blog and it was great. After writing an article, but before publishing, the Yoast plugin will give you several scores on different SEO criteria like word count, SEO title, meta description, key phrase usage, etc. It's in an organized, easy-to-read list that is very user-friendly. It takes all the guesswork out of it and shows you exactly what you need to do to get a good SEO score.
CONSAfter using Yoast for a while I noticed that sometimes Yoast would grade my article incorrectly. For example, it would say that my keyphrase wasn't in the first paragraph when it was. Or it would say I had no outbound links when I had several. I'm not sure why that would happen but it was annoying getting bad scores even though I had included everything perfectly. It always made me wonder if Google would also "grade" my articles the same way and rank me poorly.

Almost Impossible to Rank on Google Without using Yoast SEO
I am using Yoast SEO on my blogs since the starting of blogging. All the features are excellent except the LSI keywords suggestion. For the LSI keyword, I use RankMath sometimes.
PROSWriting is creative work, and while writing we all focus is on delivering quality content, at that time Yoast SEO works for us and suggest all the possible SEO and readability improvement. We can easily integrate Yoast SEO with our Wordpress blog and observe all the SEO and readability factors.
CONSOn Yoast SEO there are no features that suggest us the use of the LSI keyword. Yoast SEO only focuses on main keywords, But LSI keywords also play a vital role in website ranking. For overcoming this issue I prefer RankMath over Yoast SEO.
