Overall Satisfaction with Yoast Wordpress SEO Plugins
I use Yoast Wordpress SEO Plugins on our main website to help improve our SEO and to check-- whenever changes are made-- that our site is still all clear without errors.
- Ease of operation -- Install the plug-in and follow their step-by-step instructions. It's really that easy.
- Level of detail -- This plug-in will inform you when your page is not optimized, but also shows you the steps you need to correct the problems without any of the guesswork.
- Plays well with WordPress -- I know this seems like a no-brainer, but it does not mess up your site. Yoast does a great job of making sure that their plug-in works correctly with the most current version of WordPress.
- Can be a little too aggressive -- Sometimes you just don't need the level of detail that it recommends. And also sometimes even after completing their recommendations, it still kicks back errors.
- The interface hasn't been updated in a while, so while it does work it is starting to look stale in comparison to similar products.
- They could make it easier to change things site-wide.
- Gains in visibility -- After using Yoast, my site became much more visible in searches. We started getting noticeable increases in site traffic.
- Time-consuming -- They could make it easier to change things site wide, so going page by page to adjust things was a bit tedious.
- Increased inquiries from our optimized pages -- This has been the best part of the implementation. Quite a few of those inquiries turned into actual clients for me.
This was the only other product that we were able to compare side-by-side. It did similar things but in the end, Yoast won out because of the fact that it plays nice with most versions of WordPress. Squirrly had a few complaints about compatibility that concerned me, and after talking with a few colleagues, I decided to go with Yoast.
