Yoast Local SEO Reviews/Would it work for me?
-
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for some feedback on Yoast Local SEO, and if you think it'd work for our site. www.kempruge.com. Our site is a wordpress site, and there's nothing about it, off the top of my head, that makes me think it wouldn't work, but I've been wrong before.
We do use All-In-One SEO, not the Yoast plugin, so I'm not sure if that's compatible.or would cause a problem? (The reason we use All-In-One and not Yoast is because that's what we had when I got here, and I'm worried what would happen if we switched).
Also, we have three offices, and I need to be able to do local seo for all three. I know Yoast says it supports multiple offices, but I'd feel more comfortable if someone on here let me know from his/her experience that it did.
Anything else you want to add about Yoast Local, I'm all ears!
Thanks,
Ruben

I think that if that pluggin just gives you a schema markup. Why not just to go to schema.org get the local code and place in your page.
With that you would avoid a pluggin instalation that you slow page speed just fot a simple code that you can get on web.

Hi Ruben,
I've not personally used Yoast, but here is a resource for you documenting how to do so for multiple locations:

And here's a blog post on same:

I hope others who have actually worked with this will chime in

Yoast local SEO plugin is compatible only with their Wordpress SEO plugin, you will need to install that first. Having said that, local seo would add the proper schema.org markup to your page which you can easily test on the google structured data testing tool to make sure that google can read it. Its a one time payment and would save you time and money if you dont know how to manually add the schema. It also provides you with a shortcode for route planning which could be an additional extra for your website visitors.
