Improved Yoast SEO Support
We’re excited to announce that Page Builder version 2.11.0 greatly improves Yoast SEO compatibility in the Classic and Block Editor. In the Classic Editor, we’ve extended content analysis to all widgets, previously only a predefined list of core WordPress and SiteOrigin widgets were analyzed. In the Block Editor, we’ve introduced content analysis to the SiteOrigin Layout Block. The SiteOrigin Widget Block was already supplying data for content analysis and therefore didn’t require any additional work.

Thanks for reading. If you have any comments or questions, please, let us know below.
As a beginner, I’m currently using All in one SEO with Site Origin. I would like to continue using SiteOrigin, but if I want to do SEO measures more effectively, do I need to move to Yoast SEO?
Please answer.
Hi Toshiaki, thanks for posting your question.
For interest sake, we’ve also added support for Rank Math content analysis in a recent update.
I don’t think that All in One SEO Pack currently has a content analysis feature. The integration referred to in this post is specifically focussed on content analysis.
Thank you very much. Certainly, content analysis is easy for beginners to understand. Maybe I should use it. As a further question, what do you think about how reliable is the analysis?
The analysis helps to measure the page according to predefined metrics chosen by the plugin. I can’t say much more than that without perhaps comparing SEO plugins. The analysis works as defined in that it provides feedback on the predefined metrics it sets out to.
Yoast SEO is no saving any changes i do on the site, why is that? i tried with 2 different themes, and in one of them is not working and in the other doesn’t save any changes i do
Hi Laura, thanks for reaching out. Is this something that happens when using Page Builder by SiteOrigin or in general?
I just need to crosscheck with SiteOrigin support if your plugin is compatible with Yoast Premium? I have been having some difficulties using the AI features of Yoast with Site Origin Page Builder. For example, highlights are currently disabled and the AI feature is not compatible. I have spoken to Yoast about this and they say that the Site Origin Plugin is not compatible with Yoast Premium. They suggest a workaround using a staging site with the WordPress visual editor to enable Yoast to be functioning correctly and then transfer that data to my website.
As Site Origin is claiming their plugin is compatible please can you address and explain the issues I have highlighted above and why they are not working with your plugin?
I have the most up to date version of Yoast and Site origin page builder on my WordPress site, however the functionality is not there for SEO.
Yoast say that it is not compatible and I would have to set up a staging site using visual editor to access all the Yoast functions with Site Origin.
My tech team tell me if I did this it could break my site. I look forward to hearing back from you.
Many thanks.
Hi Helen,
Thanks for reaching out. This article is in regards to the Yoast SEO content analysis, and was written before the introduction of the AI features you’re referring to. The Yoast SEO content analysis is supported by our Page Builder, and will function as expected.
I’ve investigated compatibility with the features you mentioned, and the content highlighting is indeed not compatible. This isn’t something we can make compatible due to how Page Builder, and Yoast handle present data – Page Builder has separate interfaces, and Yoast can’t highlight in separate interfaces.
As for the AI features, Yoast AI Optimize is a Block Editor specific feature and is not compatible with the Classic Editor. It only supports a handful of core blocks at this time and it’s not currently compatible with Page Builder. As more blocks are supported, we may be able to add support for that functionality.
As for Yoast AI Generate, that’s compatible with Page Builder.
Doing that could lead to issues, and it’s not something I recommend doing.
Kind regards,
Alex
