        @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

                                                                    We have a client who carries 4 product lines from different manufacturers under a singular domain name (www.companyname.com), and last fall, one of their manufacturers indicated that they needed to move to separate out one of those product lines from the rest, so we redesigned and relaunched as two separate sites - www.companyname.com and www.companynameseparateproduct.com (a newly-purchased domain). Since that time, their manufacturer has reneged their requirement to separate the product lines, but the client has been running both sites separately since they launched at the beginning of December 2016. Since that time, they have cannibalized their content strategy (effective February 2017) and hacked apart their PPC budget from both sites (effective April 2017), and are upset that their organic and paid traffic has correspondingly dropped from the original domain, and that the new domain hasn't continued to grow at the rate they would like it to (we did warn them, and they made the decision to move forward with the changes anyway). This past week, they decided to hire an in-house marketing manager, who is insisting that we move the newer domain (www.companynameseparateproduct.com) to become a subdomain on their original site (separateproduct.companyname.com). Our team has argued that making this change back 6 months into the life of the new site will hurt their SEO (especially if we have to 301 redirect all of the old content back again, without any new content regularly being added), which was corroborated with this article. We'd also have to kill the separate AdWords account and quality score associated with the ads in that account to move them back. We're currently looking for any extra insight or literature that we might be able to find that helps explain this to the client better - even if it is a little technical. (We're also open to finding out if this method of thinking is incorrect if things have changed!)

                                                                    Hi Moz! I've been reading about this a lot more lately - and it doesn't seem like there's exactly a method that Google (or other search engines) would consider to be "best practices". The closest I've come to getting some clarity are these Blumenthals articles - http://blumenthals.com/blog/2013/05/14/a-guide-to-call-tracking-and-local/ & the follow-up piece from CallRail - http://blumenthals.com/blog/2014/11/25/guide-to-using-call-tracking-for-local-search/. Assuming a similar goal of using an existing phone number with a solid foundation in the local search ecosystem, and to create the ability to track how many calls are coming organically (not PPC or other paid platform) to the business directly from the website for an average SMB. For now, let's also assume we're also not interested in screening the calls, or evaluating customer interaction with the staff - I would love to hear from anyone who has implemented the DNI call tracking info for a website. Were there negative effects on Local SEO? Did the value of the information (# of calls/month) outweigh any local search conflicts? If I was deploying this today, it seems like the blueprint for including DNI script, while mitigating risk for losing local search visibility might go something like this: Hire reputable call-tracking service, ensure DNI will match geographic area-code & be "clean" numbers Insert DNI script on key pages on site Maintain original phone number (non-DNI) on footer, within Schema & on Contact page of the site ?? Profit Ok, those last 2 bullet points aren't as important, but I would be curious where other marketers land on this issue, as I think there's not a general consensus at this point. Thanks everyone!

                                                                    Does the geographic Location of my Server effect my SEO? HELP US! We are arguing for 3 weeks already. My partner has mentioned multiple times in the past that  "since 2013 google does not require your server to be in the country you are targeting for seo"
                                                                    And that actually all they care about is if its a good and fast server - not where its physically located in the world. I am a strong believer that the geographic location of your server directly effects your SEO ranking... lets say if you want to target www.google.ru for your seo, best you have a server located in Russia for hosting your website.. WHO IS RIGHT? Choose the winner and base the facts.
                                                                    If anybody has the correct answer and information to base it on it will help us alot - and maybe even spare some unnecessary violent between us two! we found some articles across the web, sadly they are all dated back to 2012....

                                                                    HI,rategy. So I spoke to a local Colorado seo company and they suggested to find whatever keywords is the most searched under my GWT's and put .com behind it and build other sites for other keywords. I was curious about this type of strategy. Does this work? This seo guy said I could just get a DBA bank account and such for each domain name etc. I am not wanting to mislead anyone, but I am curious if for the sake of promoting other services, if creating other websites with partial and EMD's are worthwhile? Another issue I worry about is if I put my companies phone number, then next thing you know there is 3 or 4 sites that use that same phone number. To me this does not build trust with Google. But being I am learning, maybe this is a common strategy, or doomed from the start. Just curious what you think. Would you build other sites to try and rank for other services? Or keep one sites and maximize it? Thank you for your thoughts. I just do not want to pay $3000 per site if it will hurt not help.
