How to Use AIOSEO to Optimize Pages and Blog Posts
Now that you’ve set up the All in One SEO plugin, you can start optimizing individual pages and blog posts without hiring an SEO expert.
Select the post you want to optimize and open it with the WordPress block editor.
Scroll down to the AIOSEO Settings. The first thing you’ll see is the General tab. Here, you can customize your post’s title and meta description and add dynamic items, such as its current category, year, and month.
In addition, the snippet preview lets you check how search engines will display the post on desktop and mobile search results.
Scrolling down, you will find a field to enter the post’s Focus Keyphrase and Additional Keyphrases.
At the bottom, the Page Analysis section features a detailed content review – which we’ll discuss in the next section.
In the meantime, let’s take a closer look at the other tabs:
- Social: Enables you to optimize the post appearance when shared on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter.
- Advanced: Adjust the robots meta settings and overwrite the default canonical URL. You can also customize your content’s priority and updated frequency. If you’re just starting out, we recommend using the default settings.
In addition, upgrading to the premium version allows you to access features in the following tabs:
- Schema: Add a schema type, description, and other information you want to feature on rich snippets.
- Link Assistant: Helps you manage internal and external links.
- Redirects: Set up redirects for individual posts and pages that you deleted or changed the URL, as it prevents visitors from encountering an error page.
