SEO Plugin for WordPress
TL;DR:
- WordPress doesn't offer native SEO tools, so you need a plugin to optimize your pages.
- Letterdrop is a plugin that integrates with WordPress and automates SEO best practices.
- It helps with search intent analysis, identifying topics to cover, condensing SERP research, automatic technical SEO fixes, link health monitoring, internal link automation, and more.
You want to optimize your WordPress pages to get in front of the right prospects at the right time and get those conversions.
Since WordPress doesn't offer native SEO tooling, you need to outsource a tool that takes care of SEO for you — one that doesn't promote keyword stuffing and helps you optimize for the future of ranking.
Luckily, there's a tool out there that plugs directly into WordPress, lets you automate SEO best practices, and can help you 11x qualified traffic to your WordPress pages.
What Can WordPress Do for SEO?
You're able to customize metadata, edit alt text, optimize images, and optimize URL structure in WordPress itself to make your pages more SEO-friendly.
However, WordPress is built primarily for creating web and content pages, not optimizing them. It leaves major gaps in SEO, which means you're not likely to rank, drive qualified traffic, or generate conversions.
Without a Plugin, You Have To Take Care of SEO Manually for WordPress
If you want your content to rank, you have to take care of SEO for WordPress itself.
- You have to figure out search intent, the most frequently-used format, People Also Ask opportunities and more by scouring all the top pages on the SERP
- You have to figure out what topics to cover and information gaps yourself
- You have to go through your content to make sure you're following EEAT guidelines
- You have to manually check hundreds of technical SEO rules. This includes optimizing your Core Web Vitals, following proper heading structure, avoiding keyword stuffing, and more
- You have to manually add, track, and fix links across your pages as you scale
- You have to track page performance yourself using Google Analytics and Google Search Console, which can take hours
While you can get SEO plugins for WordPress, none of them help you automate fixes, take care of topical optimization, or optimize for search intent.
Manual SEO like this can add up to six hours to your workflow.
You're too busy to lose this kind of time, which is why you need a robust SEO plugin meant for WordPress to take care of SEO for you — the right way.
