If you’re working with a WordPress site, you have to get on the Yoast SEO plugin train. This FREE plugin provides you with everything you need to properly optimize your posts and pages for the search engines.
Take a look at the Yoast SEO panel. Choose a key word or phrase that sums up what the post is about, and then let the SEO checker tell you if you’re optimized.
You can easily updated your page title, URL, main content, and meta description to include the key word or phrase more (in a natural sounding way) to ensure the post is optimized.
We especially love the super easy color system they use to indicate if you’re doing a good job. Like a stoplight, red is no good and green is great!
