Real results in the Real World.
<p>I want to disclose to you from the start; I have no affiliation whatsoever with Yoast at all, nor have I ever had. Furthermore, I have no interest in whatever you decide. This review is based on the fact that I routinely install Yoast in my WordPress projects. (The elephant is now out of the room). Now for the review;</p>
<p>I do not want to spend a lot of my time at work worrying about SEO, as I deal with many websites in my work as a web developer. Apart from the intuitive set up process, within the plugin dashboard at the beginning, there is not much else to do except for the routine of good SEO practice and just filling in the boxes as you publish new material.</p>
<p>Provided you did your homework at the beginning of the process, by completing the proper keyword research and competitive analysis, Yoast will help you succeed. If your website provides value to the online community, in my opinion, you simply cannot fail. The search engines use algorithms and are fairly predictable providing you follow the rules. You can still find many keyword opportunities where it does not matter how much money you spend on Google Adwords!</p>
<p>I recommend the WordPress Yoast plugin as a frequent user. Yes there are upsells, as they want you to upgrade to Premium. They also have what seems to be a solid and useful SEO paid course, <i>(which I personally think is a bit too expensive.</i>.
<p>I think the premium Yoast plugin and the SEO course could be useful for web site owners and clients wishing to do things for themselves. Let’s face it, certainly a lot cheaper, and probably much more reliable, than many of the called "SEO professionals" my clients tell me about after paying a lot of money for their website to disappear once the fee has been paid. It’s is something you might want consider, but I believe, the standard version is more than adequate if you are prepared to teach yourself good SEO practice. All of this information is freely available online if you look hard enough. Oh dear, have I upset the "Guru’s?"</p>
<p> Yoast offers an easy work environment within the plugin dashboard, its added functions on each WordPress user interface input fields and the ambient indicators speckled around the user screen, telling you well optimised your work is.</p>
<p>If you just follow the instructions Yoast gives you, complete the steps which are clearly laid out, I believe Yoast is the best SEO plugin out there working seamlessly within WordPress and third-party themes. Hence the five star review, I think Yoast is great!</p>
