How we chose these: tools we list in Store and CMS SEO apps, or in other categories that cover it too, that work where Yoast SEO works or on any website. Tools that work where Yoast SEO works come first, then tools whose main job is the same, then tools we’ve tested by score, then the rest by name. Commission never changes the order. We leave out tools that are discontinued or closed to new customers, and Yoast SEO’s own add-ons. Updated Oct 24, 2026.
