Review Time
I've been using the free version of Yoast for about 4 years, but only got serious about my website this year. I finally decided to sign up for premium, not being sure how worth it, it would be for me. The free version is good, but the extra features from premium make Yoast great. Have only contacted support once about setting up premium and got a fast response.Highly recommend.As a note, I tried a (new to the market) competitor a couple of months back, that claims to be all whistles and bells. I came back to Yoast pretty fast.
Fails to earn the tag line 'SEO for everyone'!There is a configuration wizard which should be great but it asks you to make decisions and input settings without offering enough descriptions, context or examples.Support was good I got a reply to my email within 12 hours, though a live chat feature would be better.
Stable and gets the job done. On all three of my sites and never a problem. Tried their known competitor and what a nightmare. Decided to write a review because tired of reading so many of the obviously fake ones I see out there for the other option.
Poor business practices.Gave the test run of the premium subscription plan, failed to cancel it on time (my mistake), received the email describing to support that I had moved from Wordpress. Received an email back basically describing that they'd support me up until the end of my subscription but wouldn't be refunding me money.Literally costs you nothing to be like this Yoast. Not my cup of tea, will steer clear in future.EDIT: Don't let the "reached out" fool you, my money hasn't been refunded.
Its a simple but hyped SEO plugin. It has been providing very generic features for a long time now. Needs to include a few more features like rich snippet support, keyword research, and competitor analysis. Maybe it isn't possible with a plugin but some kind of extended solution can help (ex. SaaS)
Pros - robust seo analysis - useful newsletter - breadcrumbs feature - option to use free version - preview and easy to edit meta description and title of posts / pages - possibility to mark cornerstone contentCons - some issues with sitemap and support perhaps got confused because of extensive e-mail communication involved.- a bit more flexible would be nice- for some it can be price but there is still free version tooI had an experience with one of their competitors plugin and first flaw was that it didnt come with support of my native language so on-page seo analysis was hence useless. This is NOT a problem with YOAST as it does support vast number of languages so I can definitelly RECOMMEND this product
