Hello I am Ramy, restaurant owner I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude, for the explanations you've provided in this video and all your other videos. Even though I didn't have any experience I was able to create my own WordPress website by following the guidance, from your previous videos. Now I'm really eager to learn how I can incorporate keywords onto my website especially when it comes to mentioning dish names. Thank you much in advance!

Thanks for the great video, very helpful. I did notice you never changed the 'focus keyphrase' on the pages tab. Should we be adding something in that section? When I go back to my dashboard each page has a red light saying focus keyphrase not set.

[@darrelwilson]

Anytime! If you need help feel free to drop your questions in the comments.

[@ionamic]

Darrel, this is excellent and very detailed. It appears that created this one month ago. Is it possible that YoastSEO has been updated. I do not see some of the Categories that you mention, like Shipping and Product. As for the Bing thing... I did the manual web address but could never find the code. Not sure where it goes.

[@dergham_lion]

Great video thank you so much for the valuable content. I thought there was a trick to hide the dates of posts because it does not attract people to search for old blogs. Have you installed a plunging to hide those posts' dates on Google search results?

[@HoraceFlynn]

It's beyond praise.

[@preuliyana]

Hello, I’m setting up the plugin step by step according to your instructions and I’ve reached the point where I’m setting up the Home page and the plugin editor is not displayed on the right side, so I can`t set it up and see how it’s displayed in Google. WordPress version Current version: 6.3.2 Why do you think it is not displayed? or does the editor Yoast appear only in the premium version of the plugin? 🤔, and also in mobile version (when viewing) the photo that I set in the plugin settings is not pulled up, but another picture from the site is displayed, and how to make sure that the correct publication date is displayed. Thank you, I will be grateful for your answer.

[@luisalbertoguizar]

Thanks man! Does it worth to have Yoast Seo Premium for a tour business?

[@user-lz5ix5ec7f]

Thank you Darrel I have so much to do. A question only. My site at the moment is in a local environment. In other words it' s under construction. I've activated the Yoast plugin but I wanted to know if I can make all these things you are describing, before upload the site to its server. As you can understand also, I don't have a domain name and a hosting package yet. So can I proceed; Thank you!

[@anshb28]

It's better if you purchase domain and hosting service before you activate and configure Yoast

[@triplejcleaningofomaha1163]

first of all your video is very god explained thanks

[@darrelwilson]

thanks ! feel free to drop your question in the comments :)

[@mldonsro]

Thank you Mr. Darrel for this step by step guide. And welcome back. I have two questions: 1) WooCommerce websites that only have a shop page. Can this free version help, or do I have to go for paid Yoast WooCommerce SEO? 2) What is the difference between Yoast SEO and Schema Pro?

[@FarheenJatu-MarketingExpert]

The free version of Yoast SEO can be useful for WooCommerce shops with just a shop page. The paid version offers more tailored features but isn't strictly necessary for basic SEO. Yoast SEO is for general SEO optimization, while Schema Pro is for adding structured data to enhance how your content appears in search results. They serve different purposes, but you can use both for a well-rounded SEO strategy.

[@SoftKadraj]

Thanks.

[@darrelwilson]

anytime :) if you need help feel free to ask .

[@EnglishWithMubeen]

Can a website rank without adding keywords in SEO tags?

[@ramandeepsingh-hv8lj]

ji Darrel i want to confire one thing you add site with www before the domain. but in todays world nobody add www to the domain name. so does is works both way www and without www

[@realtalk4478]

Question, mine only says the sample page is the same as the home page. I can't find the home page under the pages

[@livevisitor]

Thankyou sir

[@darrelwilson]

anytime :) if you need help feel free to ask .

[@Moh-NafEnigma]

hi. thanks for your tutorial. i have question about site connection option. i have connected with search console from longtime before, now this tab how input verification code? or its put empty. pls reply

[@darrelwilson]

Hey ! If you've already connected your site to Google Search Console, you don't need to input the verification code again in Yoast SEO. Just leave the field empty or check the option to use the existing connection.

[@Moh-NafEnigma]

@@darrelwilson Thanks a lot

[@elkhdirahmedosman]

Thanks, quite helpful tutorial, would like to ask if I did verified my website previously on both Google console and Bing, should I do that again when setup Yoast?

[@darrelwilson]

No, if you've already verified your website on Google Search Console and Bing, you don't need to do it again when setting up Yoast. Just ensure that your verification codes are still present in your site's settings.

[@leonvanelst9222]

After adjusting the seo titles and metadata per page, do you than just wait for it to show in Google? Or do you have to go to Google search console at do something to let Google know you adjusted stuff?

[@Unknown883]

I don’t think he talked about it here, but from another tutorial I watched on ahrefs’ KZbin channel, you can go to the search consoles and bump google to index your page.

[@HearThat]

great tutorial. a lot of this information this plugin is asking for was stuff I already did within the Wordpress dashboard. will all that work be overwritten automatically?

[@darrelwilson]

No worries! Yoast SEO typically complements the work you've already done in the WordPress dashboard rather than overwriting it. It helps enhance your site's SEO efforts without starting from scratch. Keep up the great work! 🚀🔍
