What do you like best about Yoast?

The free version is great. Gives you great fine-grained control over what the site is telling Google. Of course it's not perfect, but for free, it's amazing. I do NOT recommend their paid add-ons though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yoast?

The paid add-ons, at $100 / year, just don't seem worth it to me. My client had purchased the WooCommerce add-on and I still wasn't able to get the products to give Google the correct information it was looking for. Yes, it allowed me to add Manufacturer as a custom attribute and have Google recognize it, but for Brand, Google still had issues recognizing Brand.

The biggest reason I don't recommend their paid add-ons - if someone else gets the license (i.e., your client) and you're unaware that they didn't renew the license, it could totally crash your site. While Yoast says “we want to assure you that all features and functionality of the plugin will work regardless of the subscription status with the exception of the morphology functionality (word forms). ”, that is simply not true and they won't stand by that statement. See my ticket on Wordpress.org, titled "WP-Admin Login “error was encountered “, Fatal Error from WPSEO_HelpScout". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Yoast solving and how is that benefiting you?

Yoast Free edition - allows amazing control over what is sent to search engines and what is in all the meta data. Gives you control over your sitemaps too. I won't use anything else for a site for SEO controls, and I never have a live site without Yoast SEO. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
