The 6 Best Tools for WordPress SEO
WordPress is a content management system (CMS) that features templates and plugins to build websites and blog platforms. It is also Google's preferred platform so it makes sense to use it as the foundation for your online presence. When building your site or blog, you want to maximize its SEO potential, which means leveraging the most effective tools. To help you wade through the endless number of WordPress plugins, here are the 6 best that can help your SEO efforts.

Yoast

yoast WordPress Yoast is a popular plugin that helps optimize your website or blog posts by evaluating writing style, language, metadata, readability and other areas important to Google. It considers what visitors want and how search engines recognize and index content. If you use Yoast (and if you don’t, you should be) then before you publish anything, make sure you have nothing highlighted in orange or red. These are parts of the Yoast criteria that you failed and could impact the page from being indexed. Click here to download Yoast.

Rel Nofollow Checkbox

Rel NoFollow Often, simplicity is best. This plugin does one thing: it adds a checkbox in the insert/edit popup that allows you to add a nofollow attribute. A nofollow tells search engines that a certain link shouldn’t impact search rankings. This helps combat the efforts of spammers. Google appreciates this type of instruction and can reward you for using this attribute. Click here to download this plugin. Click here to learn more about nofollows.

Keyword Tool for WordPress

From there, you can choose the keyword that best fits your subject matter. The top results are the most popular with respect to searches and you will want to include them wherever possible.

Insight into your competitors’ strategies should only help you create a more focused digital marketing offering. Click here to learn more or download SEMrush.
