ContractorKeywords vs Yoast SEO

Q: Do I still need Yoast if I use ContractorKeywords?

You don't need it, but you can keep it. They work side by side.

Q: I already have Yoast Premium — is ContractorKeywords worth adding?

Only if you want more content ranking for local keywords without having to write it yourself.

Yoast is a great plugin — for people who write their own content. Most contractors don't have time to write 15 SEO articles a month. ContractorKeywords does it for them.

Yoast optimizes. We create.

Yoast SEO is excellent at what it does: helping you optimize content once you've written it. It checks keyword density, readability, meta tags, and schema. But Yoast doesn't write a single word for you. You still need to sit down and produce 1,200-word articles about "emergency furnace repair in Aurora, CO" or "how much does a roof replacement cost in Baton Rouge."

Most contractors don't have 4 hours a week to write SEO articles. That's exactly what ContractorKeywords exists for.

Use both — they're not competing

If you're on WordPress, you can use both. ContractorKeywords generates and publishes the article, and Yoast handles on-page optimization scoring. Many contractors who use ContractorKeywords already have Yoast installed — they're complementary tools, not competitors.

Who ContractorKeywords is for

ContractorKeywords is built specifically for trades businesses — plumbers, HVAC techs, roofers, electricians, landscapers. Every article is localized to the specific cities and suburbs you serve, mentions local climate factors that affect your trade, and includes real cost ranges for your market.

Yoast is a general-purpose SEO plugin for any WordPress site. It doesn't know you're a plumber in Denver or that freeze-thaw cycles affect pipe installations differently than they do in Houston.

Common questions

Does ContractorKeywords work with WordPress?

Yes. You can connect your WordPress site and auto-publish articles directly. ContractorKeywords and Yoast work side by side.

Do I still need Yoast if I use ContractorKeywords?

You don't need it, but you can keep it. Yoast handles meta tags and schema markup. ContractorKeywords handles content creation. There's no conflict.

I already have Yoast Premium — is ContractorKeywords worth adding?

Only if you want more content ranking for local keywords. If you're already writing 15 articles a month and just need help optimizing them, Yoast Premium is probably enough. If you want to publish more without writing more, ContractorKeywords fills that gap.
