Most SEO plugins help you optimise a post while you are writing it. Stedica SEO starts from the other end: it audits the pages you already published, scores every issue by severity, and gives you one screen to work through them.<\/p>\n\n

It is also built to be installed alongside<\/em> whatever SEO plugin you already use. Stedica reads and writes Yoast, Rank Math, SEOPress and All in One SEO metadata, so you can run an audit today without migrating anything or losing what you have.<\/p>\n\n
