WordPress is known for being great for SEO and thanks to a wide range of WordPress SEO plugins and tools to choose from, a selection of additions to your WordPress site could start to bring your SEO to the next level. Here we consider some of the top WordPress tools and plugins on offer to increase your chances of your customers finding you.

1. Yoast SEO

If you’re hoping to improve the SEO on your WordPress site, both by optimising your website and by creating better quality content, then this is probably the best plugin for you to begin with. There are a variety of great features to focus on, including the on-page analysis tool, XML sitemaps functionality and technical WordPress SEO. For instance, it can quickly scan a page for images to ensure that each one has an alt tag that matches the focused keyword of the post. It also checks your content for length and confirms if your meta description is good enough. SEO by Yoast is user-intuitive – it works via a simple traffic light system, with green signalling good SEO practice, yellow OK and red bad.

2. Keyword Tool IO

Keyword Tool is one of the greatest free keyword research tools around. It gives you the chance to simply generate keyword ideas by researching a keyword. All the suggestions given to you are gathered via Google’s auto-suggest feature. This information is a treasure as Google typically suggests keywords based on the frequency in which that keyword is searched.

3. Broken Link Checker

Boosting SEO isn’t all about keywords and optimised content. It’s also about your backlinks and this WordPress plugin is a free tool that allows you to discover broken links on your website. Broken links affect your website’s SEO and lessen user experience. The tool is easy to use and you can then fix any broken links that are discovered without having to edit your posts.
