In this video, Kyle discusses the most commonly used SEO plugins for WordPress, focusing on five key tools:
‣ Yoast
‣ Rank Math
‣ All in One SEO
‣ Redirection
‣ Header Footer Code Manager
Yoast is the most popular, offering essential SEO features like setting title tags and meta descriptions, and assessing page performance with a color-coded system.
Rank Math and All in One SEO are also strong alternatives.
Redirection is used for managing 301 redirects, while Header Footer Code Manager helps embed tracking codes and schema markup.
These plugins form the core SEO toolkit for most WordPress sites.

0:32
traditionally also been a good tool
0:34
those those three will help you at least
0:36
get some of the the basics of like
0:39
getting your title tag set your met
0:40
description set some of them will like
0:42
even allow you to put a Target keyword

0:46
like a little you know red yellow green
0:50
you know kind of score on on how well
0:53
the site’s doing
0:54
overall um we do end up using a couple
0:58
more plugins um we use a plugin called
1:00
redirection um for maintaining and
1:04
creating 31 redirects on the site just
1:07
because we want to make sure that um
1:10
pages that get removed um get 301
1:13
redirected to proper places and then
1:16
we’ll even use a plugin called header
1:18
footer code manager and that is uh a
1:22
plugin we use to pretty much integrate
1:24
in other tracking
1:25
codes um or Implement schema markup on
1:29
the site so because it’ll allow you to
1:31
embed code in the header or the footer
1:34
across the site or even on a per page
1:36
basis um but but those are kind of the I
1:39
guess the five total that that are the
1:42
most
1:43
common um so I usually recommend like
1:45
most of our sites we do internally we’re
1:48
going to put yoast redirection and
1:50
header voter code manager that’s kind of
1:52
like our our basic Suite of SEO plugins
