Likelihood to Recommend SEOquake is a great tool to use alongside
Semrush with the quick data that it provides on the search results page it's helpful to make quick decisions. The ability to change the SERP locale is also really nice as it helps us analyze the search results page from different locations.
Read full review Yoast Wordpress SEO Plugins is really great for any application - home pages, blogs, etc. It saves a lot of time researching keywords, but it is time-consuming crafting content, which I think is a necessary evil. I wasn't really seeing the immediate results I had hoped for, but there could be a variety of reasons for that (cookies, caches, etc.). Overall, if you have the time to dedicate and utilize the tool, it's awesome!
Read full review Pros Gives a ton of SEO info in one area. I usually have to use a few different Chrome extensions that show different areas to get the full picture that this tool gives you up front. It gives you info on ways to improve the infrastructure of your website. It's free for the first 100 pages of audit. Read full review Evaluate the SEO score of any given page's content. Makes it simple to manage the title and description for a page (what shows up on Google search results). Boils down complicated topics such as canonical URLs for non-technical users. Easy explanations for any and all options, including why to use or not use an option. Read full review Cons The high-level parameters are nice to see, but for a new-to-the-tool person, they are confusing and don't provide a lot of explanation, unfortunately. The keyword density section is somewhat helpful but gives the density in a percentage without rationale as to what an average percentage is or what the website should aim for. Read full review Density: Because even the free, basic Yoast SEO tool has SO MANY FEATURES, if you're brand new to SEO as a concept/practice, you might feel a little overwhelmed at first. Just go watch the training videos! Bulk Title Editing: I'm sure this tool can be useful, but I've never found it to be particularly intuitive or helpful. Limitations: I'm grasping at straws here, but it would be nice if some of the premium (paid) features- specifically the social media previews- were available in the free version. Like I said, grasping. Read full review Likelihood to Renew I see no reason to discontinue using Yoast as it has been very beneficial for my website and my business.
Read full review Usability All the information is integrated on-screen while writing content and the scores and related score elements (i.e. paragraph/sentence length, transition words, keyphrase density, etc.) are all updated live as I write which I think is amazingly helpful.
Read full review Support Rating There are plenty of amazing articles published on their site, however, I don't rate their actual support team as being particularly helpful. I made multiple points of contact regarding the internal link counter not working and even though they began troubleshooting I think when it became too hard it was just forgotten about and so is still unresolved.

The backlinks information it provides is also really useful in making quick decisions on which site we can focus on more when it comes to searching for backlink opportunities.
