Is Yoast(or equivalent with equivalent features) worthwhile for non SEO's?

I own a small business and while I created what I believe to be a beautiful and properly coded site(using Kadence Pro/Gutenberg), I don't know a great deal about SEO. Yes I know you should have a title and meta desc, and that your pictures should have proper titles, alt tags, etc... I also know you should have a proper sitemap, and quality backlinks. Oh, and two more things I think I know is that you should have a reasonable internal linking structure and that page load speed is important to the big G. That's it - that's all I really know about SEO.

Right now I am using "The SEO Framework". It's reasonably easy to understand but mots of the settings are defaults as I assume these types of plugins come with sane presets for the 'hands off' types. I got to looking at Yoast and it purports to have some sort of content sanity engine where it will somehow guide you in your content writing so that you're writing highly SEO optimized pieces, but also remaining human readable. Is that a feature someone like me needs? Truthfully I was thinking of just getting rid of the SEO Framework plugin for raw leanness, and just using common sense and a proper sitemap plugin. Seems like Yoast is the most feature-rich(and likely consequently the most bloated) plugin for SEO, but that content checker got me thinking - and so here I am.

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

GMB territory inching with service company

Seeking advice on extending our service area, while our main GMB profile states SD County, we only rank in our neighborhood but we have the team to service much more jobs. The boss wants us to get addresses in these hot territories within the county and use call rail numbers to validate the GMB profile. Question: Does this still work? Will it catch up with us? OR is there a better way to rank in a territory for a service. We are 4.9 stars with 120+ reviews submitted by /u/SoCal619TradesPro [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/9RWmh6i
