In this tutorial, we will talk about the latest\u00a0<strong>Yoast SEO\u00a0<\/strong>and how to install Yoast SEO plugin,\u00a0Yoast WordPress SEO settings, and Yoast SEO review.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Yoast SEO?<\/h2>\n<p>So, before starting let me introduce you to Yoast SEO, it is the most powerful and advanced plugin when it comes to SEO management in WordPress, it has several features altogether packed to this single machine. Many bloggers including me are using this plugin to enhance their rankings in search engines.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some features packed in Yoast SEO plugin.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It verifies sites in Bing, Alexa, and Google.<\/li>\n<li>Yoast supports Facebook Open Graph.<\/li>\n<li>It can generate Google friendly sitemaps and it can also generate user\/author sitemap.<\/li>\n<li>Can hide WLW,RSW, and short links form header.<\/li>\n<li>Hide published date from snippets.<\/li>\n<li>You can edit .htaccess file.<\/li>\n<li>If you are using another SEO plugin previously, Yoast SEO has the ability to import your settings from that SEO plugin.<\/li>\n<li>RSS feed settings.<\/li>\n<li>You, can add Google authorship for a single author.<\/li>\n<li>Has the option to enable\/disable breadcrumbs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you were using SEO plugins, for example AIO SEO, HeadSpace 2 or any other SEO plugin. So, there is no need to get worried for the saved settings as Yoast SEO Plugin has the capability to import all your saved settings to it without changing the settings again.<\/p>\n<p>For importing the settings from other plugins first you have to enable the advanced settings page which is under the dashboard in features or\u00a0<strong><em>DASHBOARD &gt;&gt; Features &gt;&gt; Advances setting pages.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now to import these settings go to\u00a0<em><strong> SEO &gt;&gt; Tools &gt;&gt; Import &amp; Export &gt;&gt; Import from other SEO plugins\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>and select the SEO plugin from which you want to import the settings. ( I prefer selecting one plugin at a time rather choosing all the plugins at once )<\/p>\n<h2>\u00a0Yoast SEO Dashboard<\/h2>\n<p>We will be starting our Yoast SEO configuration from the dashboard in this step we will configure yoast seo by its own configuration wizard which is in\u00a0<em><strong>Dashboard &gt;&gt; General\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>then tap\u00a0the configuration wizard.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1560 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/multitutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/configuration-wizard.jpg\" alt=\"yoast-seo-configuration-wizard\" width=\"598\" height=\"370\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After hitting on &#8221;\u00a0<em>Open the configuration wizard &#8221;\u00a0<\/em>you will find a screen just like one which is below.

As every growing blog at some stage will have multiple authors either in guest bloggers or partners. So always choose yes for it.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"step-title\">Google Search Console<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1584\" src=\"http:\/\/multitutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/yoast-seo-google-search-console.jpg\" alt=\"yoast-seo-google-search-console\" width=\"1140\" height=\"612\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This is a very crucial step in order to get appearance automatically in Google. Now, Yoast will ask you to connect Yoast SEO plugin to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/webmasters\/tools\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Google search console<\/a>\u00a0in order to check the un-crawled pages, posts and to check 404 error pages.<\/p>\n<p>After connecting to your webmaster account you have to select your site&#8217;s domain from the list, then tap on next.<\/p>\n<h3>Title Setting<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1586\" src=\"http:\/\/multitutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/yoast-seo-title-settings.jpg\" alt=\"yoast-seo-title-settings\" width=\"1153\" height=\"641\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This Yoast SEO title settings should include Website name and title separator.<\/p>\n<p>This setting is very simple it includes the website name where you have to simply enter your website name and title separator it will include 13 title separator and the most preferably used is &#8221; &#8211; &#8221; this one so I would suggest you use the first title separator as it is also good for SEO.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Success!!
