      Considering buying the Yoast Premium extensions (or perhaps whole bundle) but trying to weigh up if its worth it or if the free version is comprehensive enough to do the job?

      Obviously paid has more features but is it worth the price tag? (I have 4 different websites)

      If anyone has a paid version of Yoast Premium pack and seen improvements with rankings, mark ups in google etc I would appreciate hearing your story!

      Thank you in advance

        In my opinion, the only thing of real value is the redirect option. You can redirect directly to your Nginx or HTaccess file this is not a game changer but the ability to write directly to the file and not PHP is very nice.

        You get support if you do not understand Yoast SEO plug-in it might make sense for you to purchase it solely for the support aspects. You get almost no support with the free plug-in at least with the paid you get answers.

        I use it on client sites who wish to be able to write redirects within WordPress, and if you delete a page, it will allow you to redirect it to the appropriate page or 410 that page.

        You can also optimize for more than one root keyword, in my opinion, this is not very important and not going to make a difference in the SERPS.

        It is a very inexpensive and very high-quality plug-in I don't think that you have much to lose by trying it. I would recommend paying double for the five-license version unless you are only using one site.

        I hope that helps,

        Tom

          Thanks for that Thomas!

          It seems I worded my question slightly incorrectly, I asked about Yoast Premium - I was meaning any of the Paid upgrades/extenssions by Yoast or evee the full complete bundle. ie as per screenshot below.

          Did you have any experience with any of the other extras?

            Yes, their useful plugins (cost a lot) but I think they are well made &  unlike some other plug-ins, there updated very often. However what I recommend their video plug-in not really unless you had a very particular need. There Local and Woocommerce plugin's are excellent for what it does the news plug-in is significant buying the bundle may save you money, and I would recommend it if you have looked at everything and decided that's what you need.

            sorry about the delay let me know if that helps,

            Tom
