Rank Math SEO Vs Yoast SEO: Which SEO Plugin Is Best For You?

By Shivansh Singh, Guest Writer // Updated: March 11, 2021 19 Comments

In this objective product and service review, our guest contributor, Shivansh Singh helps you decide between Rank Math SEO vs Yoast SEO plugins to help you optimize your site and rank high on Google!

You’ve created a self-hosted WordPress website, and although you have amazing content, your blog is an orphan. An island even! Nobody visits your website.

Though Google processes over 3.5 billion searches every day, your articles and posts do not rank anywhere near the front pages of Google.

So nobody clicks through to your site.

You’ve read somewhere that to rank your website on page #1 of Google you need to optimize your website. So you want to start by installing the best SEO plugin.

But which SEO plugin is best for you?

I guess, most of you are probably thinking it must be the Yoast SEO plugin and rightly so, as it is the award-winning plugin for WordPress SEO.

But, things constantly change with time, and change is the only constant in life. In fact, it was Herakleitos the Greek philosopher, who is credited with saying, “Everything changes and nothing stands still.”

Although relatively new to the SEO plugin scene, many WordPress users have switched to the Rank Math SEO plugin which is undoubtedly one of the best Yoast SEO Alternatives.

RankMath plugin has some vocal fans on Facebook and appears to be moving towards dominating the WordPress websites over Yoast SEO.

As an example, I used Yoast SEO almost for 1.5 Years before I made the switch. I’m currently using the Rank Math SEO Plugin and used it for the last 12 months.

Having used both SEO plugins extensively, I’m in a great place to tell you the differences between Yoast SEO vs Rank Math SEO.

So, if you’re ready, let’s get started.
