How To Set Up Rank Math SEO Plugin Tutorial Switching From Yoast

November 9, 2020 By nickjervis

I have achieved some great improvements in terms of my SEO Health Score by switching from YOAST SEO Plugin to the Rank Math SEO Plugin. In this tutorial I show you how to set up the Rank Math Plugin.

Preliminary – Important – Before You Start

To get the most from the Rank Math plugin, you must connect your Google Search Console account to the plugin.

Therefore, before you download and install Rank Math, first ensure that you have a Google Search Console account and that your URL is verified with Google.

If you do not yet have a Google Search Console account, simply search for “Google Search Console” and follow the instructions.

It is very easy and Google guides you through the entire process.

Once you have done that, it is time to install and activate the Rank Math plugin.

Step 1 – Back Up Your Website

If you do not automatically back up your website, it is good practice to do so, make sure you back it up before you download and activate the Rank Math plugin. That way, should anything corrupt during the process, you can go back to how you were.

Step 2 – Install the Rank Math Plugin

Now that you are all backed up, when logged into WordPress, select Plugins from the left navigation, then “Add New” and search for Rank Math.

It will come up in the first search position and will have a few thousand five star reviews, so you will know that you are in the right place.

First download, then click the activate button, then the tutorial will automatically start to guide you through the set up process.

Step 2 – Connect Your Free Rank Math Account

The first thing you will be asked to do is to connect your Rank Math account which it will automatically create for you.

Click the button below to start the set up:

Once you click that button, you should get a quick check that you are permitting Rank Math to take that action, as in the image below:

Click OK and you will be presented with this box:

Choose the “Advanced” option to ensure you have all of the features available and then you will be presented with this part of the Wizard, asking you to import your YOAST SEO Settings (you want to ensure that you do this so that all of your title tags and description tags are imported).

Click “Start Import”.

Once the import has finished, you will see the 100% as in the image below:

Click continue to be presented with this screen:

The usual setting will be the default of “Personal Blog”. Then upload an image for Google and one for your social media accounts. As long as it has your website name and URL included you should be good to go.

Next, you connect your Google account. This is why I added my advice under the “Preliminary” heading above so hopefully you did that. If you skipped that part, tut tut, you have some more work to do now. Stop the tutorial, deactivate the plugin and complete that step then go back through the steps above.

If you already have Search Console set up, click the blue button “Connect Google Services” in the image below to start the connection:

Connect the correct Google Account, then click “Allow” as in the image below:

Select your Google Analytics account and then the property and the “All Web Site Data” as shown below:

Once you have added your property, click the first blue “Save” button immediately beneath it, then once that has saved, press “Save and Continue” at the bottom.

If you already have Analytics installed on your website, you can ignore the “Install Analytics Code” part.Tit

Next you want to tick the boxes as shown below to ensure that all of your sitemaps are prepared for you:

Select “Save and Continue”.

Select the SEO Tweaks as shown below (default option) then “Save and Continue”:

Now you will be presented with “Advanced Options”, but you can leave those and instead select “Return to dashboard” as shown below:

How To Switch From Yoast SEO Plugin To Rank Math

You will be sent back to this screen:

How To Switch From Yoast SEO Plugin To Rank Math

Toggle on the image SEO where marked, then click Settings next to the toggle to go to this screen:

Ensure that the default settings are shown as above.

Next, select “Titles & Meta” from the let navigation for Rank Math, then toggle across the “Capitalize Titles” button. This will give you leading capitals in your SEO Title Tags and Description tags. I love this button as I know from extensive testing of Google Ads copy since 2008 that leading capitals win you more clicks, but until Rank Math I had to manually add the leading capitals, which slows down my typing speed.

Now, I don’t have to worry thanks to Rank Math – nice work!

That is it; you are now all set up with Rank Math.

When I installed Rank Math from Yoast SEO Plugin my site health inside Ahrefs (my SEO measuring tool) went from a score of only 30 to 53! All from installing Rank Math.

How To Get Clients Fast

Why Me?

  • I focus on marketing that brings clients to you when they are ready to buy your services (easy life marketing I like to call it).
  • I ensure that every penny you spend on marketing creates a return on investment for you. Vanity marketing does not pay your bills, so I won’t let you do it.
  • I have been marketing service businesses since 1991.

Best Selling Amazon Author

Two best selling marketing books on Amazon:

“Before we started working with Nick, we had no clear idea of our paid traffic strategy.

We knew there were people looking for what we offer, but we just weren’t getting them landing on our website, and when they did, they weren’t converting in the way we wanted them to.

That’s when we enlisted Nick’s help, and it’s made a profound difference both to the number of leads coming into the business, but the quality too.

He’s helped us bring in several very high-quality leads, which will be worth many hundreds of thousands of pounds, as well as helping our website become better and more conversion-focused too.

I couldn’t recommend Nick more highly – if you’re looking for more leads and more sales, it’s a no-brainer to have a conversation.

Elliott Myatt, Play Area Hygiene Services, Kingsbridge.

“I run an HR business dealing with the nasty bits of HR (disciplinaries, grievances, terminations, etc). I have been working with Nick for 12 months now and it has really changed the quality of leads I am getting. My website is now attracting the right type of clients and brings in a lot more quality, and easy to convert, leads. Nick is clear in what the marketing priorities are to get me the results I want. Very easy to work with and cuts to the heart of the matter – no excuses!”

Carolyne Wahlen, GAP HR Services, Goring

“After working with Nick on our Google My Business strategy we are now ranking in the “Google 3 pack” and generating leads purely from our ranking!Nick also carried out a fee review resulting in a fee increase of 40% and no detrimental effect to volume. Double whammy with increased leads and increased income. Well worth taking the time to talk to Nick and definitely worth working with him going forward, it’s a no brainer!”

David Aggiss, Three Sixty Mortgages, Plymouth.

“Nick’s advice and guidance has been excellent. He cuts through all the noise and brings clarity. His focus is on what is effective and what will achieve the objective. He knows what works and what doesn’t and shows you the best way to approach a strategy.

One particular aspect of marketing was hard to get my head around but Nick made everything so clear and easy to understand. When you speak to him you will see, he knows his stuff!

Thanks Nick.”

Shan Phoenix, Geneva Wealth, Harpenden

Before meeting Nick, I was wasting money with Google, I had a high price per click and a trickle of leads. Now, having worked with Nick for 3 months my Google business page is optimised, my price per click is greatly reduced, customers are finding me and quality leads are flowing! Which means, my Google Ads spend is now profitable with a 3:1 return!

That is why I would strongly recommend working with Nick if you want consistent leads and a greater return on your investment – thanks Nick”.

Richard Linden, The Rent Guarantee Company, Harlow.

“Through Nick’s advice and on going encouragement I have almost doubled my client base and am now looking to take on members of staff to deal with the increase in demand for my services. My success has been in no small way facilitated by my business coaching with Nick. I would, and I do, recommend him to anyone who wants to grow their business.”

Ben Winter, Bristol Wellness Personal Training, Bristol.

“I’m new to google Ads, Nick is managing my ad campaigns and doing a great job, I’m receiving a steady flow of leads with a low cost per click meaning my marketing is paying for itself. Would recommend.”

Wendy Clarke

“Nick’s professional advice, expert knowledge and constant encouragement have proved invaluable this past year. He has helped my business from the outset, offering me support and guidance every step of the way. His services come highly recommended.”

Charlotte Laken – Copywriter

“Nick is an excellent marketing consultant. His knowledge of Google PPC is unparalled. Well worth a chat.Every time I use him my results improve and I make money. Do the sensible thing and pick up the phone to him as you won’t regret it.”

Phil O’Connor, Whitewell Financial Planning, Bolton.
