If you were setting up a new WordPress site right now, which SEO plugin would you install?
Posted by on August 30, 2025 at 1:53 pmMy question is exactly what I wrote in the title. I've explored countless plugins, even paying for some. But I just can't make up my mind! I'm a hobbyist blogger who has used WordPress for years. I'm no SEO expert, but perhaps you serious SEO experts have an answer. If you were creating a WordPress site at 10:50 p.m. with nothing on it and installing plugins for SEO, which ones would you install? Would you install any plugins at all? There are many plugins out there that use a freemium model to lure you into paid subscriptions. Is it worth paying for? Unfortunately, since my blog doesn't run ads or sell products, I can't afford to hire an expert.

SEO Framework or SEO Press
Definitely not the heavily astroturfed rank math

I use yoast and aieseo.
-
The SEO Framework. All day.
-
I do it myself. To install a plug-in is to depend on someone else’s knowledge.
-
Yoast, have been using premium and it’s working to the need fully
-
SEO Framework. However, most clients come to me with Yoast already set up so I just use that.

Rankmath is one of the best SEO plugins it give you many advanced options.
yoast is my second priority. -
