Yoast SEO Premium extends Yoast SEO for WordPress with tools for editing content, managing site metadata, and handling technical SEO tasks. Its traffic light analyses cover SEO, readability, and inclusive language, while desktop and mobile previews show how page details may appear in search results. SEO analysis works with more than 20 languages, and Premium supports up to five focus keyphrases.

Content checks and previews

Review SEO, readability, and inclusive language suggestions while writing. Search previews are available for desktop and mobile, and the front-end SEO inspector lets you view and edit titles, descriptions, and schema on the page.

AI drafting and post planning

Yoast’s AI tools work inside the editor, and suggestions wait for approval before changes are saved. Yoast AI Generate creates five SEO titles and meta descriptions, with one-click regeneration for more options. Yoast AI Optimize suggests changes to keyphrase placement in the introduction, across the content, and in its density; each suggested edit can be applied or dismissed. Yoast AI Summarize creates a short post summary for placement in the block editor.

The Premium Content Planner suggests five post ideas based on the website’s own content and creates a structured starter draft when you open a new post. In the bulk editor, review titles, meta descriptions, and focus keyphrases across the site using search, status filters, and content-type views. Premium can draft metadata, including social titles and descriptions, for selected items to review.

Site structure and technical tasks

Smart internal linking suggestions help connect related pages. Orphaned content tools help find pages without useful internal links, while SEO workouts support work on orphaned and cornerstone content. The redirect manager includes bulk tools, CSV import and export, and prompts when content is moved or deleted. Social previews for Facebook and X let you review how shared pages may appear.

A task list shows suggested work with priority levels and time estimates. SEO roles let you delegate extension access across a team, and the Google Docs add-on lets writers execute Yoast analysis before content reaches WordPress.

Structured data and crawler controls

Yoast SEO Premium outputs more Schema.org types, including signals related to experience, expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness. Its schema aggregation for NLWeb combines site data into a single deduplicated graph, which can be enabled with a toggle.

LLMs.txt management offers manual control over which pages are included for large language model interaction. The bot blocker controls AI crawlers such as GPTBot, CCBot, and Google-Extended. IndexNow notifies search engines when content is updated.

Integrations and setup

Integrations include Elementor, Semrush, Wincher, Jetpack, Easy Digital Downloads, Mastodon, WooCommerce, and Algolia.

Install Yoast SEO Premium in WordPress and follow the configuration wizard to set up the site and its structured data. When switching from another SEO extension, use the import and export tools to bring over SEO data and options, then review the analyses and automation controls in the editor. Premium includes one seat and 24/7 support from SEO specialists.
