Configure Yoast SEO site-wide settings and search appearance
We set up your site's Search Appearance settings in Yoast, including title separators, homepage meta, breadcrumb labels, and content type indexing rules. This includes deciding which post types and taxonomies should be indexed or noindexed based on your site architecture. We document every setting change so your team understands the logic behind each decision.
Write and optimize meta titles and meta descriptions at scale
We go page by page or post by post through your WordPress content and write SEO titles and meta descriptions that match your target keywords and stay within Yoast's character count guidelines. For larger sites, we work from a prioritized content list, starting with high-traffic or high-priority URLs. Every entry is written to match search intent, not just to fill the field.
Audit and fix Yoast SEO analysis issues across existing content
We run through your existing posts and pages using Yoast's SEO and readability analysis indicators and work through the red and orange bullets systematically. This includes adjusting keyword density, fixing passive voice overuse, adding internal links, correcting missing focus keyphrases, and resolving duplicate or missing meta data. We track progress in a shared audit log so you can see what was fixed and when.
Manage cornerstone content designations and internal linking structure
We use Yoast's cornerstone content feature to flag your most important pillar pages, then audit supporting posts to ensure they link back to those cornerstone pieces using relevant anchor text. This work is done in coordination with your content calendar so new posts are linked correctly from the moment they publish. We also use the Yoast internal linking suggestions panel to identify missed linking opportunities across older content.
Implement and validate structured data using Yoast schema controls
We configure Yoast's schema graph settings at both the site level and the individual post or page level, assigning the correct schema type (Article, FAQPage, Product, LocalBusiness, and others) based on content context. For posts using Yoast's FAQ or HowTo blocks, we verify that the structured data is rendering correctly using Google's Rich Results Test. We flag any schema conflicts with other plugins that may override Yoast's output.
Integrate Yoast SEO data with Google Search Console and reporting workflows
We connect your Yoast setup with Google Search Console to surface crawl errors, indexing issues, and keyword performance data that informs which content needs attention first. Using that data alongside Yoast's readability and SEO scores, we build a prioritized content improvement queue updated on a recurring schedule. Where clients use tools like Ahrefs, Semrush, or Screaming Frog alongside Yoast, we cross-reference findings to make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
