Hands-on Free SEO Solution

When considering SEO for a WordPress project, most of the times I end up relying on Yoast. The free version works out of the box. Just click “activate”, set a few things, and you’re good to go.

It’s a must if you want to share your articles on social media and want to control how they display there (Open Graph).

The interface is straightforward and intuitive, it makes you aware of what needs to be taken care of to improve your SEO, right there in the editor. It goes beyond that by giving you great indicators to improve your content for readability and SEO.

There are a few interesting and creative alternatives out there, but this plugin has been around for a while and it’s a safe bet, for sure. The free version might be enough for most uses. It works. I haven’t tried the paid version yet.
