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.

HTTP-HTTPS redirects: domain level or each URL?

Googling for answers seems to give conflicting answers here. We have a domain that has been HTTP but some individual URLs have been HTTPS (like form pages). We are about to deploy HTTPS redirect on the server to get everything going to https://www.domain.com . Do we have to go to the effort of a big 301 redirect list of all page-level URLs without Google dropping our earned page rank? Thanks all! submitted by /u/runtmc2 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/31dJ82b

One website, two properties (domains)

I wasn't sure how to frame that title so let me explain; Due to error on my part, I have ended up with, a www.xyz.com , version of my website, and one that's just xyz.com. Now I'm tracking my traffic differently on GSC and GA. I'm not sure how to feel about this. Is there anyone with a similar situation? Should I just go on like usual or are there things I need to start doing differently? Kindly advise. submitted by /u/Blessed_Dude_101010 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/87Z2MRA
