In this SEO tutorial, I show you how to apply Search Engine Optimization to your WordPress Website using RankMath. Using this free plugin you will be found better in the search results of Google and other search engines. With RankMath you can make sure your search results look clean and are straight to the point.
I will show you how to download and install the free version of RankMath. Then we will configure RankMath and create a Google Analytics and Google Search Console account so you can see all the important statistics in the backend of your website. Using the 404 monitors we will make sure that all your broken links are detected and fixed. With RankMath we can create a Sitemap that will enable Google to index our websites faster.
We will optimize the way all our pages look in the search results. How to go from this. To this. And we will make sure that all our upcoming pages, posts, and product pages are optimized by default.
When we have done that I will show you how to optimize your individual blog posts and pages. And using RankMath you can see every step you need to take in order to be found better. We just have to follow all the suggestions from RankMath and I will walk you through them.
There is so much more we will cover. How to read the website statistics. How to analyze and optimize our website even further. Even though we already get so much with the free version of Rank Math: At the end of the tutorial, I will talk about the features of RankMath Pro. In the description of the video, I show you everything we will cover in the tutorial.

@JoshuaEscaravage
THank you so much. I have just come across rank math that they have partnered wit content AI to assist with content and keyword research. Your content has been so helpful as I am not a tech savy person and without a lot of time this has helped immensely.
Chat soon,
Joshua

@AtomixUmbrella
Thanks much Ferdy for all your videos and tutorials. Just a quick comment about the Rank Math setup. For those who can't edit the posts page (using Elementor) after following Ferdy video, they just need to deactivate Rank Math and update the permalink setting (Setting > Permalinks > Save)… that should fix the issue and will be able to edit your posts page again. Hope this can help 🙂

@janitorC
Hello! I wanted to know if Rank Math doesn't allow the alteration of a focus keyword. For example if I did my keywords research and found a keyword with good amount of volume and the keyword turns out to be grammatically wrong, like "egg for baby" and I proceed with this keyword to optimise a blog, so while incorporating the keyword, why would Rank Math not allow me to alter the keyword in any way? Like if I wanted to add "egg for a baby", it wouldn't count and rather want the exact Keyword insertion. Should I still proceed with the grammatically wrong keyword?
