Yoast
Why choose it: WordPress publishers and businesses that want guided content optimization plus core technical SEO settings inside WordPress.

WordPress SEO suite with universal metadata editing, schema and sitemaps.
#4 of 7 in SEO Plugins by Overall Score
SEOPress manages titles, meta descriptions, social tags, schemas, sitemaps, redirects, and content analysis from WordPress, including through its Universal SEO Metabox inside supported page builders. It can also surface Google Analytics and Search Console data, use OpenAI for metadata generation, and extend into keyword and backlink monitoring with SEOPress Insights.
SEOPress PRO offers a Google News sitemap that restricts output to recently published articles, with a documented article-count ceiling, instead of treating an ordinary XML sitemap as a news feed. Its redirect manager also logs 404 responses, and administrators can exclude noisy paths or periodically purge logs. Publishers can handle news eligibility and site-maintenance errors within distinct settings.
Calculated from facts we verified on SEOPress's own website, using published thresholds. Nobody can pay to change it. Together with Market Signal it makes the Overall Score of 63 that orders our lists.
