Rank Math pro is only $59 right now too. I'm considering it so I can easily add schema to almost 100 pages. Many have FAQs. Trying to get one up on my competitors! 😂
Also people that need this tool are mostly web creators/designers, who are already used to the way page speed metrics present your scoring with points and colors, which is a nice way to see how're doing and get further steps to improve, so tools in our "universe" should be aligned that way.
Based on pricing I'm still in between SEOPress and RankMath. SEOPress doesn't has a limitation towards their subscription (i.e. can be used on unlimited websites), while RankMath has a subscription that states "can only be used on your personal website". I've checked with their support to get some clarification and asked them this : I’m creating websites for beauty salons, for some I own the domain name, some I forward their domain to my hosting. Will that count as personal? Answer from Rank Math > "A personal website can be a business, earn you money and you can even sell it to anyone but it needs to belong to you." So when I host my customers website, which I designed on my server, it should be ok?? :) For the rest, based on functionaIities, I would lean towards Rank Math
Thank you. I felt the same way before watching this video. Being pushed right away to get premium. Overwhelming layout ecc. I love Rank Math simplicity and functionality
Do you recommend it for Woo products? And how do you compare Rank Math to All in one SEO? I installed Monster Insights and the next thing I knew All in One SEO and other plugins showed up in my active plugins list after the setup wizard process. That was more annoying than Yoast's in-your-face Premium upsells.
I wouldn't use Yoast SEO if you paid me to. Too heavy on the upselling and promotion making the whole interface look ugly as hell. Plus, the pricing in comparison to a tool like RankMath or SEOPress and what they provide for free without tons of heavy handed branding.
As someone who has used Google Analytics on all my sites (including non-Wordpress) for many years, it seemed like using the Google Site Kit plugin on Wordpress made sense. It integrates so well with Google's tools. But now I'm curious on your thoughts about that? Would you recommend switching to Rankmath?
I have found that just using Rank Math without the Site Kit it fine, especially when trying to get the most out of Page and Post SEO. More so if a Client wants to manage the website themselves.
Fun review, but I think you missed the point. I am walking away with the impression that the important things is how it makes me feel with a score or the pretty presentation. Honestly, I don't care what it looks like, I care how it performs - like what does it change in the way Google thinks of my site. You did not give concrete evidence one way or the other about actual performance -- AB testing or something like that. What does the page code look like with each? How does that fit into how Google views the page? I could be wrong, but I think that's why they call it "Search Engine" optimization, not "Web Developer" optimization. For what it's worth.
Yoast is so full of bloat and annoying popups in wp admin - they literally take over your entire dashboard and that is bad business practise. Not to forget overpriced. RankMath (and other alternatives) are much much better.
Agreed. I didn't like the 'Buy Premium' adverts as soon as you install it. They should leave that as an extra after you have explored what you can and cannot do. I was dismayed by the hype about a New version being quite worthless. Then again, there will be many that like it and they should always use what works for you :)
Rank Math and especially Yoast are too bloated for me. I prefer "The SEO Framework". May not be as "fancy" as Rank Math, Yoast and so on, but it offers everything I need and is lightweight.
How do you know a plugin is lightweight compared to another? Just by how it looks and what functions it provides, or do you use a more technical way of finding out?
@@debajyotinath5021 By testing. You usually have a staging page / backups and can test one or more plugins under the same conditions. Although I must also say that it is partly experience and suspicion, on which basis you test those plugins.
@@debajyotinath5021 Core Vitals / Performance. That's all it really is. You have 2+ identical websites under the same conditions, only one with the plugin one without and possibly an alternative to the plugin... and you simply test the performance via Google. This is the simplest method and usually sufficient. Of course, you can then still pay attention to unnecessary features for you personally, and so on.
You have convinced me! Thank you for taking the time to create this video.
Thank you for creating this content. Your knowledge and passion is contagious. I subscribed.
Rank Math is a great tool, for me better than Yoast - easier, clearer and faster to use. BTW nice video Imran.
Thanks Pavel.
Your videos are easy to digest and I look forward to more. Thank you.

It appears that RankMath is integrated into Gutenberg. I turn off Gutenberg. How does it work with Elementor?
The same way

I do prefer RankMath - much easier. You can do all you need for free.
No need for Yoast anymore. I used it for a while years ago and switched to Rank Math, never looking back.
I wouldn't use Yoast SEO if you paid me to. Too heavy on the upselling and promotion making the whole interface look ugly as hell.

Yup.
You nailed it with this vid - sub'd 🙂
Super helpful, thanks!

Thanks for the video. Only the settings interface seems new else not much changed. Thanks to you no need to test the new version.
@@edywerder Exactly. I was expecting more, and possibly the opening of other features, but they're still locked behind a paywall.
What happens if you uninstall for instance Rank Math after a few weeks, does that remove the SEO adjustments made?
Indeed it would, unless you've added directly to a post via other means.
@@websquadron VERY good to know!!!
Nice Video.!!
Hello, what is with TheSeoFramework? What do you think about this plugin?
Not tried that one.
TNX ALOT
I GO FOR RANK MATH
When I click on instant indexing it doesn't index my post on google console.. i have to do it manually any guide?
It can take 2-3 days to feed through and show.

Concrete evidence is subjective to the content, the audience, the hunger traffic, and what's trending internally and externally.
Instant indexing on rankmaths would require setting up Google indexing API, don't you think?
Nope
It doesn't help when you already have tens of thousands of products, you have to add keywords manually in the free version?
Indeed, but that's the pain of SEO.
Super-Effort-Only.
