Optimisation of onsite content for better SEO is something that’s always been and most likely always will be important. In essence, all SEO tools are there to help you rank better and SEOPressor is no different to the rest in that regard. So, let’s take a more in-depth look into the WordPress plug-in.
On-Page Management
Like most other tools of this nature SEOPressor looks at the usual variables, including length, keyword placement, keyword density, font decorations, images, links, and overall SEO score. However, in addition to this it also adds fonts and inserts alt text to images automatically. It also suggests modifications and warns of over optimisation also – a very useful feature, albeit a quite common one
Another useful addition is the fact that it supplies you with a full list of LSI keywords, taken directly by the plug-in from the search engine. This allows you to make your text that little bit broader in SEO terms and is something of benefit.
Linking with SEOPressor
Another thing that was impressive about SEOPressor was the fact that it allowed you to specify the specific keyword you want to link to and then do so to an individual URL. The plug-in then automatically does so for similar operations in the future. It also allows you to use snippets from SERPs and fully customise these snippets and what they show. This is ideal for those advertising on their blogs.
Social Media
SEOPressor also utilises social media and provides support for Facebook OpenGraph and Twitter Card too. This allows you to increase a sites visibility and integrate search to bring more views and more traffic to your site – always a nice benefit.
Slow
One of the things that we didn’t notice, but was mentioned regularly was that SEOPressor causes sites to slow down slightly after installation. This perhaps is down to the font decoration of keywords. In addition, we’d also say that due to the fact that the plugin tends to decorate keyword fonts, it could potentially lead to the chance of over optimisation.
Costs
Of course, because of the market and the number of competitors offering similar products price is central here. The licence for one site is $47, while a unlimited licence is $97. So, we’d say that when looking at the competition, it’s expensive for one and good value for an unlimited site licence that’s both unlimited as regards time and also the number of sites you can place it on.
The main competitors are ClickBumpSEO, Easy WP SEO and PushButton SEO all of which vary in their quality and pricing, though provide most of the options of SEOPressor.
SEOPressor comes out well against all three of these, though due to the price of Easy WP SEO it’s possibly not the best option for everyone out there (Easy WP SEO is lower in price and offers analysis of the whole HTML document, not just the content). However, it’s a very useful addition to any WordPress site and makes onsite optimisation a lot easier.
