Hello fellows, trying to gain traffic is something that we all want to do when making a site, and among different types of traffic: search, paid, social… the best type of it is Organic traffic which comes from Google search.

Why do we need SEO in WordPress?

To achieve this traffic resource as much as possible by ranking the website to the Top ranking of google search result , we have to do SEO ( Search Engine Optimization) because wordpress won’t be able to achieve anything without us.

The more things we optimized for our site , the higher chance is getting more ranking and bring us the traffic

This is not easy work for anyone, even an experienced seo-er since there are many points that need to be covered.

Luckily, with WordPress , things are easier because it has a ton of seo plugins with powerful features to handle the website.

WpSchema helps you make the beautiful Rich Snippet for your site and give you the high chance to outperform your competitors on the search result page.

We have to say handling the Schema markup code things is a nightmare before these plugins appear, they are the real saviors for the site owners.

Although the General SEO plugins already have this schema feature in the plugin, it is just for basic use, if you need to cover more post types: Article, Book, Course, Event, Job, Review, Product, Recipe, Service… These schema plugins are way to go.

Along with other alternative plugins so you can try to see which one fits your style:
  • Schema Premium: Simple UI and classic WordPress settings may fit if you don’t like fancy things.

Yesterday Yoast announced their SEO Premium integrates with the IndexNow protocol to ping search engines like Bing whenever you post content.

I used to really like Yoast, but moved some sites onto Rankmath and got the lifetime discounted deal.

What are your results with Rank Math so far?

I am using the SEO Framework mainly for WP now, compared to Yoast, it's less bloated.
 
Doesn't monster slow down sites? I know it used to so stopped using it a long time ago because of that.
 
Does anyone know what happens to my 'YOAST FAQ' items if I remove yoast?

I am inclined to move away from Yoast but I'm a bit afraid of what will happen with all my settings.

On another note: I was under the impression that the downloads are for the same plugins you mention here, but I can't seem to find link whisperer. Is link whisperer any good? I'm always wondering if I should be using it or not.

Can you: install link whisperer, let it add a bunch of links, remove and let the internal links stay?

If your website isn't too big, there is no issue using Monster =)
 
Thanks for the share! Been awhile since i've been on the forum glad I saw this coming back!
 
Nothing on the link. Can you reupload and share the link please.
 
May I know which do you prefer? Yoast or Rankmath? Everyone seems to say rankmath is better.
 
Great share by someone who knows his shit! :)
 
@Festinger quick question, I'm using Yoast which opens GTINs on the product page but can only add the GTINs manually even though I'm using WP AllImport, am I missing something simple to automate this?

Thanks in advance
