6x Why we are switching from Yoast SEO to Rank Math

Meanwhile, we are converting all our clients to Rank Math. Because Rank Math actually outperforms Yoast on all fronts. In this article I'll tell you which fronts those are - and why Rank Math really is many times better than Yoast.

Reason 1: Functionalities.

The most important reason of all are the features that Rank Math has and Yoast lacks. There are numerous lists on the Internet that compare, so I won't do that again here.

I do mention a few features that Rank Math really leads the way with:

• Structured Data
• Instant Indexing
• Automatic alt tags
• Settings within the sitemap
• And more.

If you compare Rank Math to Yoast, Rank Math really has many more useful features Meanwhile, there are even so many that you can't be left behind.

Reason 2: Price

If you purchase Yoast Premium, you will spend €99 euros per year. And if you purchase Rank Math Pro, you'll pay €59 per year.

That still saves you €40 a year. But it doesn't stop there. With Yoast you pay €99 per website and with Rank Math Pro you pay $59 for an unlimited number of personal websites.

So suppose you have 5 websites, you'll easily save €450 euros anyway.

And like us, are you an agency and have a lot of clients? Then take Rank Math for Business. You'll pay $199 per year ... which you'll get out of with just 3 Yoast websites.

Reason 3: Convenience & user-friendliness

Just because Rank Math has more features and options, setting up certain things is also much easier.

Initially because it is at all possible, for example, to customize metas per template, to exclude certain post types in the sitemap, to add structured data or to see data back from Analytics.

You can actually just customize everything to your liking very easily.So easy that even someone without development knowledge will understand the plugin within an hour.

Furthermore, Rank Math also has a handy onboarding that allows you to set many settings. And they also made something for when you switch from Yoast to Rank Math. It doesn't get any easier.

Reason 4: Developments and the speed of developments.

This reason is, of course, related to reason numero uno as it pertains to features. But Rank Math has consistently added more and better features than Yoast in recent years. Therefore, Rank Math is not only better at the moment, but I expect them to come out significantly ahead in the coming years.

The latter, of course, is very important to us. So, because we want to understand Rank Math better and get the most out of it for our customers, we are switching over right now.

Reason 5: Use on multiple websites

At the price, I mentioned that you can use Rank Math on multiple websites. That has to do with cost. But in addition, Rank Math also allows us to see all of our clients' websites from one dashboard.

Handy, because this way we can very easily add or remove a website.

In addition, we normally never purchase plugins for our customers. They have to do that themselves. So it also saves a lot of time and seen with invoices, licenses, etc. since we only pay Rank Math once a year for all our customers.

Just fine!

Reason 6: Performance

It has been researched several times and there is plenty on the Internet about this as well: If you start looking at a website's performance with Yoast and with Rank Math (all other factors being equal), Rank Math wins every time.

Okay, again of course it's not going to make a difference of day-and-night and if your website is already incredibly slow. The impact then is minimal.

Still, every little bit helps. And that is yet another reason to choose Rank Math.
