Yoast SEO – Advanced SEO with real-time guidance and built-in AI

Описание

Real-time SEO guidance, schema, and AI built in. Help search engines and AI systems understand your content. All AI tools included, no hidden fees.

Yoast SEO: the #1 WordPress SEO plugin

Since 2008, Yoast SEO has helped site owners get their content found. More than 10 million websites now run it, from small local businesses to some of the most visited sites on the web.

Our mission is SEO for everyone. You should not need a specialist, a big budget, or a technical background to give your content a fair chance of being discovered.

Yoast SEO gives you everything you need to manage your on-site SEO. The Yoast SEO Premium plugin and its extensions unlock more advanced and AI-powered tools.

Ready for search, and ready for AI

People no longer only type queries into Google. They ask AI assistants, and those answers are built from content the AI has crawled, understood, and trusted. Yoast SEO helps you prepare for both.

  • Schema.org structured data, so search engines and AI systems can understand what your content is actually about. Premium outputs significantly more schema types, including the E-E-A-T signals (experience, expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness) that help AI systems understand who you are.
  • Schema aggregation for NLWeb (Premium), which combines your site’s structured data into a single, deduplicated graph, so AI agents get a complete picture of your content in one request. Turn it on with a single toggle.
  • LLMs.txt management, to guide how large language models interact with your content, including manual control over which pages are included.
  • Bot blocker (Premium), to control which AI crawlers can use your content for training, including GPTBot, CCBot, and Google-Extended.
  • Abilities API, so AI tools, dashboards, and automated workflows can read your SEO, readability, and inclusive language scores directly.

Algorithm changes have been arriving for over 15 years, and Yoast has tracked every one of them. Keeping the plugin updated means you benefit from ongoing technical improvements, schema updates, and AI advancements automatically, all guided by our signature traffic light approach.

Real-time guidance while you write

SEO is one of the most consistent and cost-effective sources of website traffic, though it can be complex. Whether you are just starting out or you have done this for years, Yoast SEO tells you what to fix before you publish, not after.

Red, orange, green. That is the whole idea. You get in-depth content and readability analysis that helps you create content designed to perform well in search, without needing to learn a new discipline first.

Quick and easy setup

Setting up Yoast SEO is quick and straightforward. No technical background required.

Our step-by-step configuration wizard walks you through the essentials, so Yoast SEO can generate accurate structured data that helps search engines understand your site.

Switching from another SEO plugin? Migration is seamless. You can import your existing SEO data and settings safely with our built-in import and export tools.

AI tools built into your workflow

Yoast’s AI tools come with Yoast SEO Premium, and they sit inside the editor you already use. There is no separate AI subscription, no extra login, and no credit top-up to buy. Every suggestion waits for your approval before anything saves.

  • Yoast AI Generate: creates five SEO-friendly titles and meta descriptions instantly, with one-click regeneration for more options.
  • Yoast AI Optimize: suggests improvements to keyphrase placement, including introduction, distribution, and density, with the option to apply or dismiss each edit.
  • Yoast AI Summarize: generates a quick summary of your post to place anywhere in the block editor, so readers grasp the value fast.
  • Yoast AI Content Planner (Premium): suggests five site-specific post ideas and builds a structured starter draft the moment you open a new post. Ideas are grounded in your own site, not generic topics, so your team never begins from a blank page.
  • Bulk editor with AI drafts: review and fix titles, meta descriptions, and focus keyphrases across your whole site from one workspace, with search and status filters and a dedicated view per content type. The bulk editor is free. With Premium, select what needs work and AI drafts the metadata, including social sharing titles and descriptions, for you to approve.
  • All AI tools included: no extra accounts, no separate credit purchase, no hidden costs.

Content analysis and optimization

  • SEO analysis to guide your keyword targeting, with up to 5 keyphrases in Premium and support for 20+ languages.
  • Readability analysis for clear, engaging, user-friendly writing.
  • Inclusive language analysis, so your content is more considerate and accessible.

Is Yoast SEO ready for AI search?

Yes. Yoast SEO helps you prepare for discovery in AI-driven search as well as traditional search results. Schema.org structured data helps AI systems understand what your content is about, schema aggregation gives AI agents a complete picture of your site in one request, LLMs.txt management lets you guide how large language models interact with your content, and the bot blocker in Premium lets you control which AI crawlers can use your content for training. Nobody can guarantee that an AI assistant will mention your site, however you can make sure it understands your content correctly.

How do the XML sitemaps in the Yoast SEO plugin work?

Having an XML sitemap can be beneficial for SEO, as Google can retrieve essential pages of a website very fast, even if the internal linking of a site is not flawless.
The sitemap index and individual sitemaps are updated automatically as you add or remove content, and will include the post types you want search engines to index. Post types marked as noindex will not appear in the sitemap. Learn more about XML sitemaps.

How do I implement Yoast SEO breadcrumbs?

The steps below are a temporary solution, as manual edits made to theme files may be overwritten with future theme updates. Please contact the theme developer for a permanent solution. We have written an article about the importance of breadcrumbs for SEO.

To implement the breadcrumbs function in Yoast SEO, you will have to edit your theme. We recommend that a backup is taken prior to any editing of the theme files. Your host provider can help you take a backup.
Copy the following code into your theme where you want the breadcrumbs to be. If you are not sure, you will need to experiment with placement:

<?php
if ( function_exists( 'yoast_breadcrumb' ) ) {
    yoast_breadcrumb( '<p id="breadcrumbs">','</p>' );
}
?>

Common places to put your breadcrumbs are inside your single.php or page.php file, just above the page’s title. Another option that is easy in some themes is pasting the code at the very end of header.php.

In most non-WooTheme themes, this code snippet should not be added to your functions.php file.
Alternatively, you can manually add the breadcrumb shortcode to individual posts or pages: [wpseo_breadcrumb]

If you need more details or a step-by-step guide, read our implementation guide for Yoast SEO breadcrumbs.

How do I noindex URLs?

Yoast SEO provides multiple options for setting a URL or group of URLs to noindex. Read more about how to do this in this guide.

Google shows the wrong description, how do I fix this?

If you have crafted nice meta descriptions for your blog posts, nothing is more annoying than Google showing a completely different description in the search result snippet.

Possible causes include:
1. the wrong description in your code
2. an outdated Google cache
3. search term manipulation
4. Google ignoring the meta description

You can read more here on how to solve the issue with the wrong description.

How often is Yoast SEO updated?

Yoast SEO is updated every two weeks. If you want to know why, please read this post on why we release every two weeks.

How do I get support?

Our free plugin is used by millions of people worldwide, so we cannot offer one-to-one support to everyone. If you have trouble with the Yoast SEO for WordPress plugin, you can get help on the support forums here at wordpress.org or by checking out our help center at yoast.com/help/.

The plugins you buy at Yoast are called ‘premium plugins’ (even if Premium is not in the name) and include a complete year of free updates and premium support. This means you can contact our support team if you have any questions about that plugin.

This page on yoast.com explains what data we collect to improve Yoast SEO. We only collect data when you explicitly opt in. Read more about how we handle your data in our privacy policy.

Been using Yoast SEO for a long time. Easy setup, helpful guidance, and it covers all the basic SEO needs. A reliable plugin for my WPsite. Recomended!

Instant feedback on keyword density, internal linking, and readability (such as passive voice or sentence length) directly inside the WordPress Block Editor or Elementor. Automatically handles complex backend requirements like XML sitemaps, canonical tags, and structured Schema.org data out of the box.

Tried a couple of alternatives over time but keep coming back to Yoast. The content analysis feels the most mature, and the readability checks are handy for writers on our team who aren’t SEO-focused.

Though the premium plugin has worked on a number of websites I manage, on one the Premium plugin actually causes the Social tab of Yoast SEO to become non-functional (needing to disable the Premium plugin to be able to use it). This means the Yoast Premium plugin is not coded in a way to make it immune to JavaScript changes within WordPress, plugins or themes. In addition, on discovery of this very infrequently used part of Yoast SEO (non-premium) being affected by Yoast SEO Premium, support’s response is: it’s a problem with your theme and they will not investigate. Even more unacceptable is that when telling them we therefore want a refund, they say we’re past the refund period, despite not being able to catch this (for us) very infrequently used feature until very recently. Support for Premium is not at a level where they can solve anything, and Customer support is unwilling to acknowledge that the only plugin having any issue is their Premium plugin, and that the theme causes no problems for anything else within the WordPress ecosystem, and not even with their non-premium plugin. BE VERY AWARE that Yoast SEO Premium support is basically incompetent, and will not try to help you.
