  1. YOAST SEO

    The caveat with Yoast is that you need to do your preliminary SEO keyword research to ensure the primary content you have on your website has text relevancy and context connected to the business you’re operating in. Yoast automatically extends WordPress’s standard SEO features and will optimize meta tags and other link elements that search engines read before showing results to users. It will also remind you to enable permalinks if your site isn't optimized well and for $69 a month, you can upgrade from the free to the premium version to get great features like the option to access social preview, multiple focus keywords, and the redirect manager. The free version is also great to see what the platform can do but if your content is used to generate new leads, the premium version is definitely worth trying.

  1. AKISMET ANTI-SPAM

    First off it’s FREE, so that’s winning. Second, if your website is that of a publisher’s or contains content that users can provide comments and feedback on contact forms, Akismet scans and filters all submitted text and allows your site’s integrity from a user-generated content perspective to be held at a high standard. Additionally, it keeps a record of activity between that of the moderator and the Akismet platform so you can see what the plugin filtered out and which was a manual notation. Akismet was actually built by the creators of WordPress and as such, has kept up with the updates to the WP platform, making the integration a seamless and hassle-free one.
