Considered Both Products	Yoast Sorin Ciornei Founder Chose Yoast I use All in One SEO as well, which is just as big as Yoast so not sure why it's not in your list.

Emily Hammell Marketing and Communications Manager Chose Yoast Yoast Wordpress SEO Plugins was a little easier to understand and offered a real-time guided plugin that helped me write throughout my drafting process.

LE Lauren Ericksen SEM Analyst Chose Yoast Yoast doesn't even compare to these other products.

Ben Rubenstein Senior Marketing Manager, HMX Chose Yoast I've looked at a few other SEO plugins, such as the Premium SEO Pack, WP Meta, and All in One SEO Pack, but I haven't found anything that has the same set of tools and simplified interface.

User Testimonials
	Yoast
Likelihood to Recommend	yoast.com 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! Incentivized Emily Hammell Marketing and Communications Manager Read full review
Pros	yoast.com 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. Incentivized Christopher Boyd Freelance Web and Software Developer Read full review
Cons	yoast.com 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. Incentivized Michelle Green Arnson Marketing and Communications Manager Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	yoast.com I see no reason to discontinue using Yoast as it has been very beneficial for my website and my business. Incentivized James McQuillin Owned, Educator, In-Home Technology Lessons Read full review
Usability	yoast.com 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. Incentivized James McQuillin Owned, Educator, In-Home Technology Lessons Read full review
Support Rating	yoast.com 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.

Alternatives Considered	yoast.com This is my go-to plugin for SEO. It is easy, and I trust Yoast will give me solid results. In a short time period, our website has seen measurable results in organic search traffic. Our previous website didn't use page level SEO tools to this extent. We are systematically updating each page using the Yoast WordPress SEO Plugin. We are pleased with the results Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	yoast.com Yoast Wordpress SEO Plugin along with other SEO investments we have made with our new website has extremely paid off on new business opportunity creation. Since August 2018 we have added over $100K of new business opps solely sourced from SEO searches on pages and posts that Yoast has helped us optimize. Yoast Wordpress SEO Plugin saves our marketing team a lot of time. Since the plugin lives in WordPress and provides live tips we can make to the page or post, our team doesn't have to guess on what keyword, or meta-tag, or how many internal and external links a page or post should have using an additional platform. It is just conveniently there for us to use regularly. Yoast Wordpress SEO Plugin cannot be the only piece of software your website relies on to obtain SEO optimization with search engines. It is a piece of the puzzle, and you can only maximize its' value by making sure your website is scam free, the code under the hood is healthy, and the load time and page weight is light.
