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.

    I just translated this video into Chinese, dude it's a really long, essential and useful video, thanks a lot!
  • @BryanGranseDevs
    Thanks for this video, makes my understanding in Rank Math more in-depth, this was 2 years ago but still gold for me..
  • @Oliviaparker_
    Thank you so much Ferdy for explaining everything so well. It was very clear and it will really help me on my blog in the future. You deserve the best. Have a nice day.
  • @MatthewFurman
    Thank you for this thorough and easy to understand video. You are the best πŸ‘
  • Hi Ferdy, I apply your tutorial in several websites, rank math just add a new thing called News sitemap so we can link it to google news, We hope we can see you in another rank math tutorial 2023. This tutorial still the best until now!
  • Once again Ferdy - you simply make it so easy. Tremendous number of hours you must have spent on researching and making this video allowing us to consume it in 2 hours. Honestly, I hope that you monetize these amazing videos through a learning platform. I for one would easily pay 10 bucks per month to watch your content.
  • @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 πŸ™‚
  • @matrixtech29
    I have been looking forward to this one! In fact, I have waited to dive into RankMath in anticipation of this video, so it's kind of like buying your new toy, but leaving sealed in the box until Ferdy gives you the confidence to open it and play with it. Go FERDY! (and thank you!)
  • @riezan

  • i can design a website without using any templates because of you. Thank you!!
