What it does

Checking SEO metadata one post at a time is slow work. You open the editor, scroll to the Yoast SEO box, make a change, save, and repeat. This add-on moves that information into the post and page list screens instead. You can see SEO titles, meta descriptions, focus keywords and Yoast SEO scores in columns next to your other content details, so gaps and weak entries are easy to spot across many items at once.

The integration works on top of Admin Columns Pro and Yoast SEO, so both need to be in place. Once they are, you can add the SEO fields as columns, sort and filter by them, and edit values inline from the list table. Bulk editing lets you update metadata across several posts or pages together. There are also columns for the Facebook and Twitter fields Yoast SEO stores (image, title and description), which helps when you are tidying up how content appears when shared.

Works with both plugins

Reads and writes the same data Yoast SEO uses, so changes made in the columns match what you would see inside the post editor.
