Why yet another WordPress SEO Plugin?

WordPress SEO plugins such as Yoast SEO or All in One SEO Pack provide some important features and settings for search engine optimization, such as SEO optimization suggestions, adding SEO keywords, creating meta tags, or various permalink settings. For a successful SEO strategy, however, a comprehensive SEO analysis is of utmost importance, because this is the only way to find out how well Google rankings are developing, which other opportunities exist and what you can do to achieve better rankings.

In order to be able to do detailed keyword, ranking or onpage analyses, for example, it is necessary to work with different external tools, since the other WordPress SEO plugins do not offer these capabilities. For the process of SEO analysis and subsequent optimization, it is therefore common to work in different browser windows alternately, or even to enter the results of the analysis in a table and then convert them into WordPress, which does not allow a functional workflow and can cost a lot of time over the day.

Beside many important SEO settings and functions such as optimization suggestions, SEO keywords, meta tags, permalinks, redirects, or internal links, BAVOKO SEO Tools offers comprehensive keyword, ranking, onpage, backlink and page speed analyses in a single plugin! With the help of the onpage crawler and the integration of Google Search Console, Google Analytics (PRO) and BAVOKO API (PRO), we can not only provide you with extensive data in the WordPress backend, but also combine this data with the optimization process in a unique workflow.
