WooCommerce SEO

WordPress and WooCommerce make it easy to launch a flexible, user-friendly e-commerce store. But if you want to get shoppers to your store, you need to nail your WooCommerce SEO so that they can find you in Google. It can quickly deploy an online store.

The 3 Best WooCommerce SEO Plugins

Finally, let’s take a look at some of the best SEO plugins to pair with your store.

Most popular WordPress SEO plugins also work well for WooCommerce, so you don’t need to think out-of-the-box here.

However, in some situations, you might need to purchase a premium version to get access to some of the WooCommerce-specific features.

1. Yoast SEO

Yoast SEO is the most popular WordPress SEO plugin. 

While most people use it for regular WordPress sites, it also makes a great option for WooCommerce stores and the developer offers a dedicated Yoast WooCommerce SEO extension plugin.

If you’re on a budget, the free version of Yoast can actually do most of what you need. It lets you:

• Set SEO titles and meta descriptions for both single products and product archive pages.
• Add and customize WooCommerce breadcrumbs.
• Create an XML sitemap for WooCommerce products (though it lacks some optimizations that the premium version has).

However, the WooCommerce extension does have some useful additions:

1. It cleans up the XML sitemap to remove some irrelevant content, such as junk URLs from your store’s filters.
2. You can control social media information for products, including adding rich e-commerce details, such as the price of a product on Pinterest. This is very useful if your products get a lot of shares on social media.

Yoast SEO itself is free, but the WooCommerce extension costs $69.

2. Rank Math

Rank Math is a new’ish WordPress SEO plugin from MyThemeShop that’s quickly grown in popularity thanks to its free price tag and generous feature list.

One of the most attractive features is just that – it’s 100% free, even for the WooCommerce features.

You’ll be able to set SEO titles and descriptions for both single products and archive pages, and you’ll also get access to other features such as:

• Automatic structured data for WooCommerce products
• Customizable breadcrumbs
• Option to strip category URL slug from permalinks for cleaner product category/tag archive URLs

In terms of the features that you get, Rank Math is probably the best 100% free WooCommerce SEO plugin.

It also has built-in compatibility with Elementor, which is great if you’re planning to use Elementor WooCommerce Builder to design your store.

3. All in One SEO Pack

After Yoast SEO, All in One SEO Pack is the second most popular WordPress SEO plugin. The plugin was recently acquired by Awesome Motive, the company behind WP Beginner, OptinMonster, WPForms, and more, so it will be exciting to see how it changes given this newfound development power behind it.

The free version of All in One SEO Pack comes with basic support for WooCommerce, but you’ll need to purchase the Pro version to unlock some essential WooCommerce-related features.

With the free version, you’ll be able to set an SEO meta title and description for individual products

However, you’ll need to upgrade to the premium version if you want to set SEO titles and meta descriptions for product category and tag archives. Again, this is an essential feature for e-commerce stores, so you should be prepared to pay for the Pro version if you want to use All in One SEO Pack with WooCommerce.

The Pro version starts at $79.
