Enough is enough!

  • I’ve used this plugin for years, but enough is enough. The permanent promotion of their premium products in the dashboard is very ennerving. The sole purpose of even some blog posts on the Yoast homepage seem to be advertising for the premium plugins. I removed Yoast from all customer sites and switched to RankMath. I don’t say that Yoast SEO is technically a bad plugin. But I don’t want to waste my time with all that annoying stuff.

    Hi @cutu234

    Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with the Yoast SEO for WordPress plugin.

    We understand that you’ve been using our plugin for several years, but the ads and promotion to upsell to the premium version have led you to uninstall the plugin.

    While the ads are indeed in the Yoast SEO dashboard and in other areas, in order to continue to provide support for the free version of the plugin for millions of users, we also have to find ways to promote the premium version to keep things running.

    The free version of Yoast SEO continues to have continuous updates with new features and enhancements, and that really takes resources as well, so we hope you understand.

    If you could share some links or blog posts on our site that advertised the premium plugin (which you feel wasn’t in line with the tone of the blog post), this would be helpful feedback, which I could share with the team as well.

    Again, thanks for sharing your feedback, and we hope that you’d still consider using Yoast SEO again in the future.

    Not really, to be honest. There are lots of premium products that does not promote so aggressively.

    If you could share some links or blog posts on our site that advertised the premium plugin (which you feel wasn’t in line with the tone of the blog post), this would be helpful feedback, which I could share with the team as well.

    I’ve already deleted the newsletter email, and I can’t even remember the post title. The content was so thin and redundant that I can only remember how ennerving the promotion for the premium products was.
