Trusted by millions of websites worldwide, the Yoast SEO plugin provides real-time content optimization guidance, offering actionable suggestions to help users improve their search visibility, even without deep technical knowledge.

That’s why Yoast takes care of the technical aspects of SEO behind the scenes, including structured data, redirects, and crawl settings.

The plugin includes built-in guidance, readability checks, and internal linking suggestions that make it easy to learn and apply SEO best practices while optimizing content. This empowers teams to improve website visibility, credibility, and engagement, helping achieve key business goals like brand awareness and lead generation. As the nature of search evolves, Yoast is also looking beyond traditional search engines. Our new llms.txt feature helps businesses manage how their content is accessed and represented by large language models. This helps ensure that their brand stays visible and relevant across emerging AI-driven platforms. As of July 1, 2025, Yoast has expanded its offerings with the addition of Yoast SEO News, Local, and Video.

I had a subscriptiuon issue which the team were able to resolve within a few hours of the matter being raised. Very good response and resolution.

I would have marked this as a 5* but the fact that the issue occurred in the first place pulls the mark down somewhat.

Down the right path

The phase “failure demand” is about having to call support to sort out something which can often, when it’s India based, have no good outcomes. This was not the case with Yoast as the person on the end of the wire knew the answer and pointed me down the right path

Hi Kevin,

Thank you for sharing this feedback. We really appreciate you highlighting the distinction here. While “failure demand” can often be frustrating, we’re glad your experience with Yoast support was the opposite—getting clear, knowledgeable guidance right away.

Our team works hard to make sure you’re connected with someone who understands the product and can point you in the right direction quickly, and it’s great to hear that came through.

If there’s anything else you need, feel free to reach out. We’re always happy to help.

Fast turnaround, cpmpetent

Fast turnaround. I had a problem with the installation that was due to settings I chose myself in my WordPress ages ago, so I was stuck. With turnaround of their competent answers of just a few hours, I could resolve the issue (3 emails full of advice from their side) in about a day. Great experience.

How Yoast SEO Helped My Website Get Found Online

I run a key detective agency, and honestly, I wasn't great with the whole website thing. I knew people were searching online when they needed help, but my site just wasn't showing up anywhere on Google.
A friend recommended Yoast SEO, and I figured I'd give it a shot. I'm really glad I did.

Shocking customer service experience

While Yoast Premium is an excellent product with great functionality, the support experience has been disappointing. Over several weeks, I’ve found the support team to be generally unhelpful, often relying on AI tools that provide generic or even incorrect information. It feels like a gamble; only about 10% of the time do I reach someone knowledgeable like John C., or get escalated to seniors like Jose and Goody who actually provide great solutions. As the "front line" of the company, the support staff needs significant technical upskilling to protect Yoast's reputation.

Hello there,

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed and honest feedback. We truly appreciate you highlighting both what you value about Yoast Premium and where your support experience has fallen short.

We’re very sorry to hear about the frustration you’ve encountered. This is not the level of support we strive to provide, and we understand how disappointing it can be when answers are unclear or inconsistent, especially over an extended period. Your comments about the importance of knowledgeable, well-trained frontline support are taken seriously, and we appreciate you calling this out so candidly.

We’re glad to hear that team members such as John C., Jose, and Goody were able to provide the high-quality assistance you expected. Your feedback will be shared internally to help us improve our training, escalation processes, and overall support experience.

Thank you again for your honesty and for being a Yoast Premium customer.

Worse SEO Tools ever

Worse SEO Tools ever

It forces noindex on sitemap makes google index your sitemap impossible, maybe you have to pay to unluck this feature but If you are using Yoast free edition, it will kill your google ranking for sure!

Hi Koray! We're sorry to hear that you had a negative experience with Yoast SEO. But to be quite frank, it is expected that the actual URL to your sitemap should have the 'noindex' tag, because you wouldn't want the sitemap URL itself to appear on the search results. However, it does have a 'follow' tag which lets the search engines and crawlers know to follow and crawl all of the links in the sitemap, which you do want to have indexed and show up in the search results.
