What is Yoast SEO?

Yoast SEO is a WordPress plugin that helps you perform on-page SEO. It will help you avoid Google’s duplicate content penalty, help your pages rank better in the search engines and build a strong online reputation for your website or business.

Yoast allows you to optimize each of your web pages individually by providing specific instructions on how to correctly title each post, how to write meta descriptions (which are what shows up when someone searches on Google, although it is not as important anymore) and how to correctly write meta keywords.

There is an SEO analysis section under every editable page or post that will show a green light for the things you have done correctly with your SEO on that webpage and will give suggestions for improvement if there are any errors.

It has currently 5M+ active Installation.

It was founded by Joost de Valk in the year 2010.

Features & Functionality

  • Find & add high-performing keywords right in Yoast SEO: Yoast SEO makes it easy to find synonyms, related search terms and long-tail keywords with a lightning-fast internal keyword search.
  • Keyword optimization: Yoast SEO provides everything you need to formulate an on-page SEO strategy for your website. Use the built-in keyword density checker and readability checks to make sure your site is optimized best for search engines, readers and social media.
  • Internal linking suggestions: Yoast SEO suggests pages on your site that can be linked to based on text analysis of their content. By doing so, you’ll connect related pages that aren’t yet linked by internal links, leading to a higher click rate per page and a lower bounce rate overall.

  • Readability check: Yoast SEO checks your content for readability issues, such as complex words or a high density of keywords. It gives you suggestions on how to improve the text and shows you a grade based on an Flesch reading ease test or the readability score re-calculated by Yoast (which is a combination of several scores).
  • No duplicate content: Yoast SEO checks your posts and pages for duplicate content, including sentences or paragraphs that have been published on the web before.
  • XML Sitemap: Yoast SEO automatically creates an XML sitemap for your website after you publish a post or page. It also improves the readability of your sitemaps to make sure search engines can better parse them.
