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.

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

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

7 SEO Lessons I've Learned in 2025 (So Far) - From Building a Competitor Analysis Tool

Hey r/SEO , I've been spending a lot of time lately building a competitor keyword research tool (more on that below!), and it's really forced me to dig deep into how SEO works today . Here are some of the key lessons I've learned – hopefully, they're helpful to you too: Keyword Gaps Are Gold: It's not enough to just know what keywords your competitors rank for. You need to know what they rank for that you don't . This is where the real opportunities lie. Focusing on these "gap" keywords has been a game-changer for my own site. (This is actually why I built the tool – to make finding these gaps easier). Relevance > Volume (Sometimes): High search volume is great, but relevance is even more important. A keyword with 100 searches per month that's perfectly aligned with your niche and audience is often more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 searches that's only tangentially related. I've seen much better results targeting tho...
