Want to Migrate into Yoast SEO?

Migration from existing to Yoast SEO

Hello friends, we all know that Yoast is the best plugin in the SEO category. It guides you to create readable content for your audience and is also great for SEO. In this article, we will show you how to migrate your existing SEO plugin to Yoast SEO.

If you are unsure which SEO plugin to choose, go with Yoast SEO. It has amazing features that make your website more powerful for SEO. Today, however, we will focus on migration, not plugin features.

If you are still using the All-in-One SEO plugin or other SEO plugins and want to switch to Yoast, this guide will help you do so.

Worried about losing your SEO data during migration? Don’t be. Your data will remain safe. You can easily migrate it to the new Yoast plugin by following the steps provided by the plugin.

So let’s start. The steps are straightforward:

  • Take a website backup from ManageWP before going to step 2
  • Install the Yoast SEO plugin and activate it.
  • Disable the All in One SEO Pack plugin or an existing one
  • Go to SEO >> Tools >> Import & Export >> Import from other SEO plugins, you’ll see this, ImageSource: Yoast SEO

  • Select the relevant checkbox. If you are migrating from All in One SEO, then select “Import from All-in-One SEO” and click “Import”.
  • That’s it, this imports all your data from All In One SEO Pack or your existing one.

So after you’ve done this, under SEO -> Search Appearance and enable the XML sitemaps, under SEO >> General >> XML Sitemaps. Yoast SEO plugin now has an onboarding wizard, which will guide you through the setup, asking you questions about your site and basing SEO decisions on that.

Why Yoast SEO beats All In One SEO Pack

Features like the snippet preview, SEO, and readability analysis functionality, and included XML sitemaps functionality make the plugin a true all-in-one SEO solution. You can even buy a Yoast SEO Premium subscription for even more awesome functionality, like internal linking suggestions and a fantastic redirect manager. Most importantly, our plugin helps you do better SEO. Good SEO means, in most cases, good content writing. Our plugin aims to support you with that as best as possible.

Are you using Google XML Sitemaps?

If you’re using Google XML sitemaps or another XML sitemaps plugin, you can just disable that and enable the XML sitemaps feature in Yoast SEO[ SEO >> General >> Feature]. The location changes with that. Google XML Sitemaps uses example.com/sitemap.xml, which is a static file; you can safely remove that. The new XML sitemap will be at example.com/sitemap_index.xml.
