Yoast alternative

Switching From Yoast To A Team That Runs It

Our managed WordPress SEO services cover the whole job: technical fixes, keyword strategy, on-page work, content, and the links that earn you authority. We audit your site, build a keyword map, and publish the changes into your WordPress install ourselves. You approve the direction and read the monthly numbers. Nobody on your team has to learn a crawler or a rank tracker to keep organic growth moving.

What changes once we run it

Plenty of agencies will send you a monthly report and a list of recommendations to implement yourself. That is where most SEO retainers quietly stall.

Reporting you can actually read

Rankings tracked weekly, traffic and entry pages monthly, and conversions wired into analytics so you can see which organic visits turn into forms and calls.

Local and store SEO covered

If you serve specific cities, Google Business Profile work and citation cleanup are included. If you run WooCommerce, we control faceted navigation so crawlers do not drown in filter URLs, and get product schema output correctly.

We publish, you approve

You approve the direction and see exactly what changed. Nothing sits in a document waiting for someone on your side to find the time.

Technical work included from day one

Crawl budget, Core Web Vitals, canonical tags, and schema are not a premium add-on here.

Who this comparison is for

B2B companies with long research-driven sales cycles

When a purchase takes months of research, the companies that answer the early questions get shortlisted for the late ones. We map the full question set your buyers work through and build the pages that meet them at each stage of it.

Small businesses competing on local search

If customers find you by searching a service plus a city, most of the opportunity sits in your Google Business Profile, your citations, and location pages that are genuinely different from one another.

WooCommerce stores that need category pages to rank

Product pages rarely win the searches that matter. Category and collection pages do.

How our WordPress SEO process works

The first month is diagnosis and quick wins. After that the work settles into a monthly rhythm of technical fixes, new content, outreach, and reporting.

  1. 1

    We assess your current setup

    First we look at how things run today: what you already pay for, what is configured where, and which parts are actually causing you trouble.

  2. 2

    We audit and build the keyword map

    Month one opens with a full crawl of your site and a look at what competitors rank for that you do not. We document what is blocking indexing, what is slowing pages down, and where authority is leaking away.

  3. 3

    We fix, write, and publish

    From there each month brings on-page rewrites, new pages targeting mapped terms, and outreach to earn links.

  4. 4

    We report, then reprioritize

    Each month you get rankings, traffic, entry pages, and conversions, next to a plain-language account of what we did and what it moved.

How Yoast SEO works

What Yoast SEO does, in their own words

Yoast SEO is a WordPress plugin, sold per site per year. The figures below come from their own pages, read in September 2026.

Premium, $118.80 a year excluding VAT (September 2026)Yoast own pricing page, licensed per site. The free plugin remains available with no time limit.
What Premium addsUp to five focus keywords, redirect management, internal linking suggestions, AI suggestions for titles and descriptions and social previews.
One license, one siteRunning it across several sites means a subscription each, with bulk discounts starting at five subscriptions.
Bundles cost moreA subscription adding Local, Video, News and WooCommerce SEO is commonly quoted around $229 a year.
Introductory pricing differs from renewalSome resellers advertise a lower first year, with renewal at the standard rate, so check which number you are being quoted.
A plugin is not a strategyIt tells you a page could be better. Deciding what to write, earning the links and fixing what the audit finds is still the work.

Yoast alternative questions

Straight answers about switching, pricing, and what moves with you.
We already use Yoast. What changes here?
What changes is that a team does the SEO work and reports back in a form you can actually read. Rankings are tracked weekly, traffic and entry pages monthly, and conversions wired into analytics so you can see which organic visits turn into forms and calls. Written in plain language, and honest enough to tell you plainly when something has not moved.
Technical fixes can show up in weeks. Meaningful ranking and traffic movement usually takes three to six months, and competitive terms can take longer. The variables are your current authority, how much content already exists, and how entrenched the competition is. Anyone promising results in thirty days is either targeting terms nobody searches or is not being straight with you.
WordPress gives you a good foundation. Clean URLs, easy metadata, and a huge plugin ecosystem all help. What it does not give you is a strategy, or the technical tuning that separates a site that loads fast from one that merely runs. The platform removes some obstacles. It does not decide what you should rank for or earn you the right to rank for it.
Yes, and we will configure it properly. Rank Math and Yoast handle the plumbing: title tags, meta descriptions, sitemaps, and schema output. They are the tools, not the strategy. A plugin will tell you a page scores poorly. It will not research your market, write the page, or earn the links that let it rank. We use the plugin and do the rest.
We write it. Each piece starts from live search data, gets drafted by a writer, and is published into your WordPress install already formatted and internally linked. You review before anything goes live. If you have writers in house, we will brief them instead and optimize what they produce, whichever fits how your team already works.
Yes. That is the point of a managed service. We work in your WordPress install and publish the changes ourselves, on a staging copy first where the change carries any risk. You get told what changed and why. The alternative, where an agency emails you a list of recommendations to implement yourself, is where most SEO retainers quietly stall.
It depends on whether people search for what you sell. If they do, organic traffic compounds in a way paid traffic does not, and it keeps working after you stop spending. If your customers come entirely from referrals, or your niche is too small to generate search volume, your money is better spent elsewhere. We will tell you which one you are before you sign up.
Technical SEO is about whether search engines can crawl, render, and index your site properly: speed, structure, sitemaps, schema. On-page SEO is about whether a given page deserves to rank for a given term: the keyword it targets, the title, the headings, and the depth of the content. Technical work removes obstacles. On-page work is what actually earns the position.
Yes. If you serve customers in specific places, local work is included: Google Business Profile setup and maintenance, citation cleanup across the major directories, and location pages built with genuinely different content rather than one page with the city name swapped out. For businesses with a physical presence, this is often where the fastest returns come from.
Yes. WooCommerce sites need category and product pages optimized, faceted navigation controlled so crawlers do not drown in filter URLs, and product schema output correctly for rich results. We handle all three. Store SEO also tends to expose technical problems a smaller site never surfaces, which is usually where we start.
You keep everything. The content, the technical fixes, the schema, and the profile and citation work all live on your site and stay there. There is no plugin to remove and no license that expires. We ask for thirty days’ notice, and we hand over the keyword map, the reporting history, and the current priority list so whoever takes over is not starting cold.
