  • Love it

    I recently started using SEOPress - free and pro - I'm really enjoying the custom schema options and how local business data is included (in the pro version). It also feels more lightweight than the other popular SEO tool we all use - the UI may not be quite as "pretty" but it is very functional and a great alternative for me to do more. The Google keyword suggest (free) is also very nice. Lots of great features!

  • Le meilleur plugin SEO, sans hésitation

    J'utilise SEOPress PRO depuis 2019 sur tous mes sites, aussi bien les miens que ceux de mes clients. Après plusieurs années d'utilisation intensive, c'est clairement pour moi le meilleur plugin de SEO sur WordPress : interface claire, fonctionnalités complètes (schema, XML sitemaps, redirections, etc.) et aucune usine à gaz inutile. Petit plus qui fait toute la différence : lors des rares problèmes rencontrés, le support a toujours été rapide et compétent. On sent une vraie équipe derrière le produit. Je recommande sans réserve à quiconque cherche un plugin SEO fiable et bien pensé.

  • Not impressed

    We've been working on improving our website SEO and had this installed but it hasnt been a very helpful tool. The "instant indexing" feature doesnt seem to work "instantly" and overall the entire plugin just has a bad user experience compared to other SEO plugins. Our developer recommended this plugin and added it to our site and maybe it works well if you are a dev but for a small business trying to make SEO work has not been easy with this plugin when doing the front end and actually making pages on the website. Maybe this is a great tool for consultants to run a report and show a client "all the issues" in terms of SEO and get a big contract to do SEO work... but practically trying to actually optimize pages, indexing, site maps etc all seem to be very difficult with this plugin :(

  • The best SEO plugin for WordPress

    We’ve been using SEOPress for over 8 years, and today it’s installed on all of our websites. We switched from another SEO tool because SEOPress already offered a much wider range of features, and over the years it has only gotten better. It’s an extremely complete, reliable, and easy-to-use plugin for our day-to-day work. What we like most is being able to manage almost everything we need for SEO in one place, without having to rely on several different plugins. And the support is simply exceptional. Whenever we’ve needed help, we’ve always received great service, with fast responses and real solutions. After more than 8 years using SEOPress across our projects, I can confidently say it’s the best SEO plugin we’ve ever used. Highly recommended.

  • Un plugin SEO muy completo y sin complicaciones

    Llevo tiempo usando SEOPress Pro en varios proyectos y me parece una de las mejores alternativas para gestionar el SEO en WordPress. Es completo, rápido y bastante limpio, sin llenar el panel de publicidad ni avisos innecesarios. Tiene prácticamente todo lo que necesito: metadatos, sitemaps, redirecciones, datos estructurados, integración con Analytics y muchas opciones avanzadas. Muy recomendable si buscas una solución profesional sin complicarte demasiado.
