        @mishainfotech221 Out of all that, what is the best plugin for WordPress?

        The answer really depends on needs.

        Overall, All in One SEO has easier setup for beginners.

        As a result, this plugin is very suitable for those of you who don't want SEO settings that are too complex and complicated.

        However, this plugin may not be suitable for SEO practitioners or website owners who want optimal website optimization.

        In this case, Yoast SEO vs Rank Math will be more suitable rivals because they both offer complete and more complex features.

        If you are looking for a plugin that has complete features and lots of schemes, Rank Math is the answer.

        Because in this plugin you can find settings that are more complicated and complex.

        However, Yoast SEO will be a much more appropriate option if you are looking for balance. Not only is it feature rich, but it is also easy and can offer the maximum SEO optimization experience.

        I am using Rankmath on a website selling San Diego Hills funeral products targeting the Indonesian market, I got a lot of keywords on the first page

                @KERRYLOPEZ_1 I use RankMath, one thing that is a bit strange is that RankMath is required to add number to the article title. If you don't use number your score will decrease. Using this plugin is helpful for SEO beginners. Thanks RankMath, my website San Diego Hills is on Google page one on several keywords

                            Hi there, I would certainly think about using Yoast & Yoast Premium, it has some great features and will interogate each page of your WP installtion allowing you to make the most of your content.

                            I would then also consider using tools such as Googles Site Kit, JetPack and W3 Total Cache to give your side the best speed boosts possible as these will also help you with your SEO gains.

                                There's no such thing as a "SEO plugin" ... It's just an addition that adds basic functionality wordpress in the first place lacks, such as a independent title, description per page. But did you know google can read and determine the page or website on it's own without the help of a plugin doing all that?

                                            All in one SEO plugins:

                                            Yoast
                                            Rank math
                                            Rank math has an interesting feature.
                                            Internal Link suggestions – Rank Math will suggest other content on your site to link to while you’re working in the editor.

                                            I advise installing both Yoast and Rank math, especially if you plan to use them for free. Each has some unique features.

                                            Plugins to boost website performance:
                                            Ewww Image Optimizer - all you need to make your images load faster.

                                            Asset Cleanup - increase website speed by removing render-blocking resources. For example, you can remove unnecessary javascript or CSS files from loading from certain pages. Be careful with this plugin, or ask the developer to help.

                                            Plugin Organizer is easier for users than Asset Cleanup. For example, you can disable contact forms everywhere except for a contact page.
                                            we used yoast and love it

                                            Wp Total Cache - browser caching, CDN, minifying and deferring CSS and javascript files.

                                            I find these plugins very helpful.

                                                For me personally, the best seo plugins are:
                                                WP Rocket
                                                XML-sitemap from google
                                                WP Rocket
                                                The fewer plugins, the better for site speed)))

                                                      I have been using Rank Math (free version) lately and I am very happy with it, The paid one seems interesting, but I do use another external SEO tool.

                                                        Great advice regarding site speed and plugins to optimise the speed of the site.

                                                        I have a client that purchased Yoast Premium and later Rank Math Premium. We found that when both were installed both nagged about the other being installed.

                                                        Worse still Rank Math initially disabled Yoast Premium and Redirections when it was enabled.

                                                        I tend to favour Yoast as having been around for longer and is understood by more people which can help is using freelancers to optimise content.

                                                        I also have an issue that Rank Math disabled the "Redirections" plugin with no attempt to import the redirects that this plugin was implemented.

                                                        Hope this helps

That person was on a freelance platform and was removed because of all the complaints made about them. They also put in backdoors on websites including mine and added content. I also had a second problem where my content was being stolen. My site always did well and had lots of keywords in the top five and ten, but now they are not even in the top 200. This happened in January and feb. When I write unique articles, they are not showing in Google and need to find what the problem is and how to fix it. Can anyone please help

I'd like to get a solid answer/recommendation to help solve this one. This is the situation. We're helping a local business that offers pest control and property maintenance services. Under each of these, there area a number of services available, eg, cockroach control, termite inspections or lawn mowing services, rubbish removal and so on. Is it best to have a main nav containing the top keywords for the services - Pest Control | Property Maintenance, with a drop down to the services under each. Or, a simple approach - Our Services > drop down to each - Pest Control > Termite Inspections, etc. My concern here is that they have quite a lot of services, so the nav could be way too long. Really appreciate any assistance here. Many thanks.

                                                                    Local Website Optimization | | RichardRColeman

                                                                    Here's the scenario. We're doing SEO for a national franchise business. We have over 60 location pages on the same domain, that we control. Another agency is doing PPC for the same business, except they're leading people to un-indexable landing pages off domain. Apparently they're also using location extensions for the businesses that have been set up improperly, at least according to the Account Strategists at Google that we work with. We're having a real issue with these businesses ranking in the multi-point markets (where they have multiple locations in a city). See, the client wants all their location landing pages to rank organically for geolocated service queries in those cities (we'll say the query is "fridge repair"). We're trying to tell them that the PPC is having a negative effect on our SEO efforts, even though there shouldn't be any correlation between the two. I still think the PPC should be focused on their on-domain location landing pages (and so does our Google rep), because it shows consistency of brand, etc. I'm getting a lot of pushback from the client and the other agency, of course. They say it shouldn't matter. Has anyone here run into this? Any ammo to offer up to convince the client that having us work at "cross-purposes" is a bad idea? Thanks so much for any advice!

                                                                    Hi all, When it comes to local SEO in 2015, I appreciate that having a physical location in the town/city you wish to rank is a major factor. However, if you're a national brand is it still possible to rank for local searches when you're based in one location? The reason I ask is that, although our service is national, the nature of what we offer means that it is not inconceivable that people would search for a local variation of our top keywords. Other than the standard things - location in the content, the H1/H2s, title tag, meta description, url etc. - is there anything national businesses can do to help? Thanks in advance. John

                                                                    We have a client in need of a ticketing solution for their domain (let's call it www.domain.com) which is on Wordpress - as is our custom ticket solution.  However, we want to have full control of the ticketing, since we manage it for them - so we do not want to build it inside their original Wordpress install. Our proposed solution is to build it on tickets.domain.com.  This will exist only for selling and issuing the tickets. The question is, is there a way to do this without damaging their bounce rate and SEO scores?
                                                                    Since customers will come to www.domain.com, then click the ticketing tab and land on tickets.domain.com, Google will see this as a bounce.  In reality, customers will not notice the difference as we will clone the look and feel of domain.com Should we perhaps have the canonical URL of tickets.domain.com point to www.domain.com? And also, can we install Webmaster Tools for tickets.domain.com and set the preferred domain as www.domain.com? Are these possible solutions to the problem, or not - and if not, does anyone else have a viable solution? Thank you so much for the help.
