Brief Comparison of RankMath And Yoast SEO
As we know Yoast is a popular plugin for WordPress SEO, but there are some options and points where RankMath Perform better than Yoast SEO and in this section of “brief comparison” we’re going to share some of the features which makes RankMath Plugin a better choice for WordPress SEO plugin.
- Image SEO and Alt tag: Rankmath can automatically add alt tags on all your future images which means whenever you upload an image you don’t have to add “ALT” manually anymore instead RankMath will do it for you. On the other hand, Yoast SEO doesn’t provide you any feature of Auto adding “ALT” in your images.
- Role Manager: So if your website have more admins and you don’t want every admin to change settings of your website SEO then you must go with the RankMath.
RankMath allows you to manage site admins to restrict the access to RankMath, but Yoast SEO doesn’t provide any kind of similar feature. - Focused Keywords: Yoast allows their free users to use a single Keyword as “Focus Keyword” on the other hand you can optimize your blog post or page for up to 5 focused Keywords.
- Rich Snippet Support: RankMath supports Rich Snippets so you won’t need any Rich Snippet plugin just to add Rich Snippets in your WordPress website. It provides you an option to add a different kind of Rich Snippet according to your websites such as Article Rich Snippet, Product Rich Snippet, Events Rich Snippet, Video Rich Snippet and more.
