About this video:
In this video, we’ll start by discussing where you can find Yoast SEO in the WordPress backend. The first spot where you can find the Yoast SEO plugin is on the WordPress dashboard. On the dashboard, you’ll see a meta box called ‘Yoast SEO Posts Overview’. This meta box shows you three things:
1. the SEO score of your posts;
2. the Indexability check by Ryte: Ryte analyzes your website in detail and shows you which pages of your site search engines can put into their search results;
3. the latest blog posts on yoast.com.
You can also find the Yoast SEO plugin in the overview of both the posts and pages.
When you’re editing a page or post, Yoast SEO is also there to help you. You can find Yoast SEO features:
1. in the Yoast SEO meta box below the editor
2. in the internal linking meta box
3. in the Yoast SEO meta box in the sidebar
Another spot where you can find Yoast SEO features is in the admin bar at the top of the WordPress backend. If you hover over the Yoast logo in the top bar, a menu drops down. Through this menu, you can quickly access the configuration wizard, go to tools that help you with your keyword research, or go to the settings of Yoast SEO.
You can also find the settings of the Yoast SEO plugin on the plugin page in the back end. If you click on Yoast SEO in the menu on the left, you’ll see the various aspects in the plugin that you can configure to optimize your SEO, like your General dashboard, Search Appearance, Search Console, Social, Tools, and Redirects.
Finally, in the User panel of the back end, a site admin can determine who gets access to the various settings and features of Yoast SEO. Installing the plugin introduces two new roles to WordPress: SEO editor and SEO Manager.
