The Complete Review of Yoast SEO: Installation, Main Features, Pros & Cons (2021)

Yoast SEO has been my go-to SEO plugin for years. I use it on pretty much all of my own and my client sites and I have recommended it to anyone asking me for a good SEO plugin for as long as I remember. So, why would I decide to write a review of Yoast SEO now?

This is both to get myself up to date and also provide an overview and advice to those trying to decide on which SEO plugin to use.
