When creating a new website<\/a> , a webmaster hopes it will consistently rank high for selected queries, attract thousands of daily visitors, and ultimately generate a consistently high income. However, for search engines to finally notice the resource, all efforts will need to be devoted to its optimization. For WordPress owners, this difficult task can be greatly simplified by the Yoast SEO<\/a> plugin, which has been downloaded over 1,000,000 times. <\/p>\n\n

Yoast himself<\/strong> is a familiar face to many webmasters who actively use WordPress. Having founded the Joost de Valk team, Yoast developed numerous extensions for this CMS, but it was the SEO extension that brought him his greatest fame.<\/a> <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t

    How to Optimize WordPress SEO with a Plugin<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

    The plugin installed in the system will add a whole package of settings to the standard editor, with which you can <\/p>\n\n

    The webmaster should pay special attention to the “focus keyword.” Essentially, all WordPress SEO optimization for this page will revolve around the keywords entered. Yoast SEO immediately suggests where to add the Focus Keyword to improve the page’s subsequent search engine rankings. Once the webmaster confirms the focus keyword, this WordPress SEO plugin provides detailed analytics regarding the post’s optimization. By correcting all the “problem” areas, the webmaster can achieve better search engine rankings. <\/p>\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n

    The third sidebar tab allows you to select additional page settings, including those that affect robots. Webmasters can disable indexing, customize the breadcrumbs header, or create a redirect. Thus, by actively using Yoast alone, you can address the full range of tasks required for professional WordPress SEO. <\/p>\n\n

    Don’t forget about social media<\/strong> . The second side tab allows you to create descriptions for Facebook. However, VK also handles them quite well. <\/p>\n\n

    How to Set Up the Yoast SEO WordPress Plugin<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

    The initial setup of WordPress SEO by Yoast<\/strong> primarily involves security settings. For example, if the site has multiple authors whose loyalty the webmaster is unsure of, giving them access to all SEO settings (such as disabling pages from indexing) would be rash. This plugin allows you to disable search engine ranking controls, leaving only meta description settings. This can be done in the “Console” tab, “Security.” Incidentally, from this tab (the adjacent tab), you can also verify your site rights in various webmaster services. <\/p>\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n

    Some webmasters who used other optimization plugins before switching to Yoast SEO are concerned that the new plugin will disrupt the meta descriptions of existing pages. However, the developers have provided the ability to import old settings, such as those from popular plugins before SEO by Yoast, All in One SEO or HeadSpace2. This is very easy to do. <\/p>\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n

    Using the “Tools” tab, go to the “Import settings from other SEO plugins” page, check the appropriate box, and click “Import.” Yoast SEO setup is complete; you can disable the old plugin and start exploring the new one. If you’re unsure, you can back up your entire site. <\/p>\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n

    Setting up meta – title, description<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

    The webmaster will have to do the bulk of the work by optimizing titles and metadata. Yoast SEO offers extensive customization options for each individual post type and taxonomy. Settings are managed under the “Titles and Metadata” subsection, which, in turn, provides the webmaster with six more sections. <\/p>\n\n

    General.<\/strong> Here you can manage Yoast SEO’s permissions. By default, the plugin scans all headings and identifies those that need to be changed. If the webmaster doesn’t want to rewrite the headings of hundreds of old articles, this feature can be disabled. Here you can also select the post delimiter to display in headings and descriptions. <\/p>\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n

    The “Home,” “Post Types,” and “Taxonomies” tabs are used to configure specific pages, posts, and categories. If your site has a “main” home page, which is where every visitor lands, then the Yoast SEO title and description will be set specifically for that page in the second tab. <\/p>\n\n
