If you're using Yoast instead of Rank Math for your WordPress SEO plugin, I'm judging you. My name is Kate, I'm an SEO specialist and I don't know why anybody would use Yoast when the free version of Rank Math puts it to shame. Like how the free version of Rank Math lets you create sitemaps, add schema markup, monitor 404s, and manage redirects.

Yoast doesn't even offer all of those features in their paid plan. Or how Rank Math integrates with GA4 and Search Console so you can see all of your traffic and keywords from your WordPress dashboard. Yoast just point blank doesn't offer any of these.

This one is actually one of my favourite Rank Math features, and Yoast doesn't even offer this in their paid plan either. Rank Math can automatically add alt text to all of your images. This is huge for image optimisation and saves you so much time.

Both Rank Math and Yoast have content analysis tools that score you on your on-page optimisation. But Rank Math has something called Content AI, which guides you on how to optimise your content, and it'll even write it for you. There's also an SEO audit feature in Rank Math, so you can run content audits and technical SEO audits across your entire site.

Rank Math gives you access to over 30 types of schema markup, most of that with a free version and a built-in schema builder to create your own. Whereas Yoast offers a handful of basic schema options for free. But even when you upgrade, you're still getting maybe 20 types at most.

And just to be clear, if you decide to sign up to premium, with Rank Math, one licence is gonna cover every site you wanna use it on. With Yoast, there's multiple subscriptions depending on what features you want, and you have to have a licence for every site you use it on. That's just not for me.
