Hello Julio,

Yoast is a great plugin to use as a general framework for SEO practice - this does not mean you have to follow the instructions to the letter, but it does give you some ideas in how to create quality content and it is extremely easy to use. I use it as my go-to plug-in whenever I am setting up a site on Wordpress.

Somewhat dated, but still fairly effective, guide to using Wordpress:

Here are some more plugin options for you to consider:

These will all help - in short, I would strongly suggest Yoast as an SEO tool for Wordpress. Feel free to fire any questions you have my way.

Hi

I think Yoast makes the best WordPress SEO plug-in by a lot. The second best would be the All in One SEO Pack

each offer a Pro version I would use Yoast

I  agree with Rob and strongly recommend Dan Shure's excellent article on setup WordPress for SEO success there is some fantastic information in their and he is a true WordPress expert.

If you are going to be moving it like you said to a new plug-in preferably Yoast use this plug-in to keep your existing settings like your title tags and Meta tags it will save you a lot of time.

if you are going to switch your current plug-in for a new one I to recommend WordPress SEO by Yoast

If you run NGINX to use your XML Sitemaps with NGINX, Here are the rewrite rules you'll need:

# Rewrites for WordPress SEO XML Sitemap
rewrite ^/sitemap_index.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=1 last;
rewrite ^/([^/]+?)-sitemap([0-9]+)?.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=$1&sitemap_n=$2 last;If you feel that you're going to have trouble with settings even though there are quite logical in my opinion. I recommend purchasing the premium plug-in as you will get access to Yoast support in addition to connecting to Webmaster tools and having a very capable 301 redirect plug-in built into the Yoast WordPress SEO premium versionYou can reach out to Yoast for support at any time the cost is $89 for the first website and there are bundles  discounts course afterwards.

This is a good example of how in-depth Yoast support is compared to other plug-ins

Hi Julio,

Robert and Thomas have linked to some excellent resources that are specific to on-page SEO for Wordpress. In addition to studying these resources, I would recommend learning about the fundamentals of SEO in a broader sense. Moz has many free educational resources for subscribers to increase their knowledge of SEO and all things marketing, including videos, written guides, and live Mozinars. I would start, however, with The Beginner's Guide to SEO and mastering Pro Analytics. Best of luck, and welcome to Moz!

Hi Julio,

I wrote a blog post a while ago on how to optimise your site using Yoast SEO, check it out here.

Also another one I wrote was on LSI keyword placement within content, check it out here.

If you do solid keyword research, optimise your Wordpress site as per the first post and optimise your content as per the second, you should get great results.
