Overall Satisfaction with Yoast Wordpress SEO Plugins
My company has a few websites that are off our platform and using WordPress, so as their SEO analyst I had to become familiar with the software. The SEM department of the company uses Yoast and quite honestly it becomes useless when we are trying to target a handful of focused keywords.
- Creates a redirect when I change permalinks, something most other redirect plugins don’t do.
- It gives internal link suggestions.
- The internal link suggested aren't always great suggestions.
- I don’t need the content insights feature telling me what words I use most on a page.
- It really hasn't done much to help or take away.
- Get the free version so you're not paying for something you can easily do on your own.
Yoast doesn't even compare to these other products. I would spend more time learning about SEO and doing everything yourself rather than trusting Yoast to do it for you. I chose Yoast only because of the off-platform websites we have and the clients wanted to understand the product and use it to benefit their site.
