The All In One SEO Plugin is a popular WordPress tool for websites. It provides some useful guidance and facilities to help with basic SEO. With Search Engine Optimisation at the fore of website improvement, SEO plugins like AIOSEO and Yoast can help guide you. They aren’t the be-all and end-all of SEO, but they are a good start!
The tools sit at the end of each blog post when editing, so you can easily add your keyword, and ensure your meta description is focussed and useful for your readers.
Social Media Previews
One of the really useful tools in AIOSEO is that you can design and manipulate how your social media channels display your article when shared. It will show you how you post will look on Google, and in Social Media, so you can amend as necessary.
Using an easy traffic light system and a review section before you press publish, AIOSEO ensures you can easily see what you could improve in your articles. Adding a ‘Focus Keyphrase’ will trigger the traffic light scores.
There are also pre-populated fields which suggest the most appropriate metadata to pass along to the sitemap and search engines. Things like the title visible = Title / Separator / Site Title.
While SEO plugins like All In One SEO are a great guide, they are not fool proof. Don’t get TOO hung up on the traffic light scores, but ensure you understand WHY these metrics are important – make it a good and helpful experience for your customer, and make it easy for search engines to find you and rank your website.
