Hi @evivz
Thank you for using the plugin and for leaving your feedback.
We are trying to become the most useful SEO plugin, WordPress has ever seen. We always had to code separate plugins in the past for our web properties to keep up with the constant Google changes and needs, and that's why we built Rank Math.
I hope you will like it as much as we love it when improving it every day. 🙏
Finally we have some good competitor to Yoast. They did so many blunders recently.
Will try on few sites and update back here.
@evivz Thank you for trying the plugin and we look forward to hearing back from you. I'm hopeful you will like the plugin a lot, like we do when using it on our websites.
Hi Ajay (@parttimesnob ),
Thanks for your interest in Rank Math - I really urge you to check it out. It firstly isn’t unheard of for other top SEO plugins to have some serious performance issues but there are a ton of things on top of that.
One of the main ones being the types of markup that Rank Math supports but Yoast simply doesn’t. Yoast’s only implementation of proper schema markup has been for a ‘how-to’ block which is often referred to as an ‘FAQ’ element. On the other hand, Rank Math has everything from reviews, recipes, articles, books, courses, events, music and more. Also, the on-page tests we do actually make sense compared to what other plugins run. I could go on for quite a while but that would make this answer longer than it already is 😅
The reason this matter is because the overall theme with SEO last & this year, specific to Google, was probably around how much emphasis Google has put towards structured data and schema.
We have a detailed comparison between the two which you can check here:

Please let me know if you have any further questions and I will be more than happy to assist. 🙏
P.S. I love GMass BTW and the way you personally take care of every customer. I remember you replying yourself when I once faced an issue, that was heroic. 😍
Stumbled across this on the WordPress popular plugins section. Wanted to try out something different from Yoast. So far, very impressed and excited to see how it works out on a new project.
@craigdevoy_ Hi Craig, thanks for sharing your experience with Rank Math! I'm so glad to hear you're having a good time with the plugin...
Great Product and more features in the pipeline for 2019 - happy so far.
Pros:- Lightweight compared to Yoast SEO plugin - Free - Easy to setup - Offers a redirection module
Cons:- News Sitemaps - Sitemaps default to just 200 pages (easy to change) - Noindexing Tags and Categories is both or none.
Hi Chris @chrisldyson
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback. Means a lot.
News Sitemap is in our roadmap and will be introduced in the coming months.
We defaulted the number of posts to 200 in each sitemap because of the shared servers; they could run out of memory if a bigger number is entered by default, like 2,000 or more.
Sorry for the confusion between the tags & categories indexing options. They are completely separate and can be accessed by following this URL:
/wp-admin/admin.php?page=rank-math-options-titles

Thank you again for all your help by sharing your invaluable feedback. 🙏
We removed Yoast in favor of Rank Math couple of month back and it working awesome!
@parvezvai Hi Parvez
Thank you so much man for showing your support.
I met your team in Kolkata and everyone was awesome! You have built an amazing team around you and I look forward to connecting with you soon.
BTW, thank you for extending your support by joining here on ProductHunt. Appreciate it. 🙏
Looks good.
I've been looking for an alternative to Yoast for some time but never found one that I was really confident about. The thing I hate about Yoast is that it's sometimes too clunky and individual fine settings aren't available. The wizard is supposed to make things easy but it doesn't give you access to fine settings. While that is OK, as an advanced SEO user, it is frustrating. To top that, they had those recent blunders that make me wary of using such a product. I've tried Ultimate SEO and All in SEO as well, which are good. But over the years, they've undergone ownership changes and that shows in the product.
This looks like a product developed by someone/a team passionate about SEO and glad that you addressed the speed part, head on. Speed is one of the biggest factors affecting WP sites these days and I'm a sucker for anything that can save me another second.
Loved the way features are laid out. I hope it works great. (yet to test).
- Why isn't there an About us page on your site? I was trying to see who's behind this and couldn't find anything (of course, I can see it here, but still). Yoast, had Joost De Valk behind it and he added credibility to the product. (Even though the team broke our hearts with those recent hiccups). I'm super wary of who I'm giving access to my website through plugins, so it'd be helpful if you could add more transparency there. (I searched you on Twitter but couldn't find anything)
- What is the price?
I couldn't find any mention of the price on the website, although it was mentioned "Free" and at some place, hinted that "right now all features are free". Do you intend to put a price later? Is there any cost now? Does the free version have any limitations?
- Can you add the option to add GA code too through this plugin, cos there's already another plugin I have to add to enable it. And since you have GS console integrated, it probably would make sense to shed additional weight from other SEO related plugins and roll it all into one. (not sure if this feature is currently available)
Thanks and looking forward to using it.
@manikarthik Hi Mani, thanks for the kind words. We've worked very hard to get Rank Math to where it is now and aren't stopping anytime soon! I can't wait for you to try it out and start using it on all of your websites 😎
For the About Us page, the new website was laid out quite recently and we will soon be putting up an About Us page in the coming weeks. Thank you for reminding that.
I'm not active on Twitter or any social media website for that matter. I do have the accounts but I don't use them. Sorry if that is an inconvenience.
Though, I can always be reached directly via my email address, bhanu.a@rankmath.com
We do not have any premium plan for the plugin. All the features inside the plugin are completely free and we will not be charging for them ever.
We might introduce a premium version of the plugin down the line but that will not limit or strip any feature we are offering for free in the plugin.
Will definitely see how we can incorporate the Google Analytics in the plugin. We are adding only those features in the plugin which we battle-tested and working really fast. Do not want to end up doing everything but achieving perfection in nothing. I hope you understand.
I personally prefer Analytify for anything related to Google Analytics.
Please let me know if you have any further questions. I'll be more than happy to assist.
@manikarthik Updated my comment above. Sorry for not replying to everything in my previous reply.
Glad this product got here on ProductHunt.
I have been using this plugin on several of my websites and it’s literally Yoast Killer.
The team has been dedicated in improving it even further. And this definitely will be one of the best plugins for WordPress in terms a complete all in one seo suite in a single plugin.
P.S. I ditched Yoast SEO Premium, It’s local seo and video seo and woocommerce plugin. And adopted to this!
@aby hey bro! Thank you so much for leaving your valuable feedback. It means a lot to us 🙏
@bhanuahluwalia Your plugin looks amazing. However as I am not an authority on website development and SEO I am a little nervous about making the change to you from Yoast.
I see you have the option to import across settings from Yoast, but I wondered if it was possible to use both plugins at the same time specifically to be able to use Schema and social preview urls?
The reason I ask is that I attend an ongoing blogging workshop for things like site optimisation and I think it is highly unlikely that the person that leads that programme will move from Y to RM in the short term - I will be telling them about you however.
Thanks.
@krishnade Hi Krishna, we'd really appreciate it if you do share Rank Math with them. Unfortunately it would be difficult for us to recommend to use two plugins for the same purpose at the same time as it could produce unexpected results. I hope you decide to make the jump to Rank Math soon! :)
@krishnade Krishna Also, TBH, those social previews are just the cosmetic touches and helps understand how a post would look on the social media sites.
The real difference lies within. I would request you to please run through this page:
https://rankmath.com/yoast-alter...
It will give you a better idea and clarity on why one should be choosing the Rank Math plugin.
@bhanuahluwalia Thanks - I have mentioned it to them and they tell me it is on their list of things to test and "Still a little too new to recommend. Letting them work the rest of the bugs out right now."
So it does not look like they will be recommending it in their classes or in their articles or to their clients any time soon.
And yes I have looked at the comparison before I commented here - but I am sure you can appreciate that for some of us who are not technical in terms of coding and correcting things that we need the SEO experts in our networks to be able to embrace what many will see as a big change sothat we can follow their lead in the workshops that they teach!
Let's hope some of the big influencers in search and key SEO industry websites pick up your launch and put your plugin to the test which then will help influence other SEO experts!
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
@krishnade Definitely. I can understand your concern.
I sincerely appreciate that you even considered us. Please remember that whenever you guys want to make a move, we're just an email away and would be more than happy to assist in making the move and helping you guys.
Have a great weekend and happy Women's day ♡
Not a big fan of Yoast. I was looking for alternatives. This one looks perfect. When will be it available on WP store?
@gijo_varghese It is available on the WordPress plugin repository here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/se...
One of the best plugin for SEO I am using ever since
Pros:Great UI, Excellent extensive features and simple go through guide for newbies
Cons:No Google News Sitemap Yet
Hi @devildeity
Thank you for using the plugin. Sincerely appreciate it.
Yes, we have plans to introduce News Sitemap feature down the line. Currently, we are trying to make sure that there are no issues left in the plugin before we start adding new features to it.
I hope you agree with that. Thank you again for showing the trust in using our plugin. 🙏
@jalu_kaba_x Definitely. That's the way to help the entire community. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
@tomblackshire Awesome, Tom! 🥳 Thanks for sharing your experience with Rank Math - this is what motivates us to keep improving, innovating and striving to make Rank Math better every single day...
Hey fellow Product Hunters! 👋
Firstly, thanks @kensavage for hunting our plugin.
My name is Bhanu Ahluwalia - I'm one of the founders of the Rank Math SEO 📈 plugin for WordPress. We've been building Rank Math for almost 4 years now and it originally launched as a private beta just a few months ago. We've gotten tons of feedback, and over 20,000 installs since, and think we're finally ready to introduce Rank Math to the world.
At its core, Rank Math is an SEO plugin for WordPress but it's actually much more than that. It does everything you'd expect from a fully-fledged search engine optimization plugin and more. We created Rank Math with the intention of designing it to be a fully-functional SEO suite that lives right inside your WordPress dashboard.
THE PROBLEM ❓
Existing search engine optimization plugins for WordPress are either bloated, lack essential features or cost a lot of money. After dealing with this problem ourselves for years, we decided it was time for someone to step in and pick up from where the others dropped the ball.
THE SOLUTION ✅
We built Rank Math. A WordPress Search Engine Optimization plugin that has everything you need to optimize your website - with new features released on a fast development timeline and support that you can actually rely on.
Rank Math already goes above and beyond other top rated SEO plugins - most of which cost money, are loaded with annoying upsells and bloated code.
THE ROADMAP 🎯
We have been and continue to work day and night to perfect and improve Rank Math so you'll be pleased to hear we have some exciting new features lined up that will be rolling out in the months and weeks to come.
WE NEED YOU 🙏
I can't wait to hear what you have to say about Rank Math. Learn more on our website and install the plugin (which we actually use on our own website) on all of your websites today.
Let us know if you have any feedback or questions in the comments - we'll be joining the conversation! ❤️
@kensavage @bhanuahluwalia I absolutely love Rank Math! Thank you for creating Rank Math, I can't wait for everything that's planned 💪🏼
@alexjpanagis Thank you so much for appreciating the hard work we have put in the plugin. Definitely, we are working on making our Roadmap public in the coming weeks so everyone's informed of the upcoming features and the plans.
@kensavage @bhanuahluwalia Rank math is a great plugin not only rich in SEO but many other features that a website wants.
@bhanuahluwalia - congrats. this plugin looks great and i will give it a go. just wondering how you plan on making money on this plugin.
@kensavage @bhanuahluwalia RankMath is a complete package. Love every bit of it. Appreciate the awesome support team as well.
RankMath changed the way I do SEO Math
Pros:Great UI Responsive support Great Community FREE :P
Cons:Nothing
Hey Arnab @arnab_mohapatra That's a nice way to put it. I really liked it!
and than you for sharing your feedback by leaving a review with everyone else. 🙏
I used Yoast, Yoast Premium since years and the moment I experienced Rank Math SEO on a test site, I am blown away. It has everything Yoast + Yoast Premium has plus more. And it auto imported everything from Yoast so the setup was a breeze. I also love the sleek UI of the product. Love it.
Pros:Awesome UI. It has everything you expect it to have
Cons:It is good as it is for now.
Thank you so much for your kind words @bhaveshr Bhavesh sir. It means a lot to us 🙏
@bhanuahluwalia glad to see rankmath SEO on here, it took you to long before u could list it on here, am glad it here anyway so that others will benefit from it as well as i have been doing since the version 0.1
@hibuddie Hey - thanks for the kind words. I'm so glad to hear that you're enjoying Rank Math 🤗
One of the best SEO plugin with useful features! Loving your marketing strategy, giving Yoast great competition.
More features for free, without the distractions and annoyances of some of the other choices. Mostly though, the features are great, the UI is great, and it's just a refreshing change from others I've used in the past.
Pros:Clear and understandable onboarding and setup process
Cons:I think Rank Math is the better alternative
Hi @donnacavalier
Glad you liked the plugin and the interface. We have tried our best to keep the plugin as clean as possible and your appreciation means a lot to us. 🙏
I have been using it for 9-10 months now and tbh, I feel this falls somewhere between Yoast & Yoast Premium. Great work indeed
This looks fantastic and just in time as I've been personally fed up with Yoast. Thank you!
@nick_eubanks I use Yoast too. Just curious -- what are you fed up with? Wondering if I should be fed up too!
@nick_eubanks Thank you so much for leaving a comment, it means a lot to me.
I would love to hear your valuable feedback on what you like and dislike about the Rank Math plugin. We can definitely improve upon that. 🙏
Pagedone
One of the best plugin to compete with Yoast.
Pros:- Easy to Use UI/UX - Webmaster integration - Rich Snippet - Schema Support Inbuilt - Free
Cons:Nothing much for Now will update post long use.
