Yoast for Bloggers/Websites
Overall Satisfaction with Yoast Wordpress SEO Plugins
The Yoast Plugin is the go-to SEO app for any WordPress website. As a blogger I have a self-hosted WordPress site, Yoast has been instrumental in getting my pages to rank. It's like an SEO checklist at your fingertips and the fact that there is a free version is amazing! I teach marketing classes and actually tell the business owners and bloggers in my classes to make sure they use this app.
Pros
- Multiple Focus Keywords to choose from. I find it hard to only focus on one keyword and the paid version ensures you don't have to which is a nice bonus to this feature.
- Social Previews do pretty well and gives insight in to how the post will look when shared.
- Internal Linking, Even though I have been in marketing for 10 years I sometimes do forget to do internal linking and this app always reminds me!
Cons
- Content insights sometimes misses the mark but I understand it a program so it can't truly analyze the data! I would suggest taking this portion with a grain of salt and trusting your vision for the page over the programs.
- You can find a lot of what is offered here through other platforms but the fact that they have so much in one spot is what sets it apart.
- Some may not enjoy the price especially when you can get a lot of the same things in the free version.
- As long as you adhere to the recommendations you should be able to see an increase in organic traffic to your website.
