What it does
Running Yoast SEO on a large group of WordPress sites usually means logging into each one to adjust settings and fill in meta details. This extension moves that work into the MainWP Dashboard. It requires MainWP and works with the Yoast SEO plugin on your Child sites, so you can check plugin status, apply settings and keep your SEO setup consistent across the network from a single interface.
The extension places Yoast SEO meta boxes inside the Add New Post and Add New Page screens in your dashboard. You fill in the SEO details for a post or page, then publish it with those settings to the Child sites you choose. You can also import your preferred Yoast SEO configuration and apply it to new or existing sites, which helps when bringing new client sites into your network. It works alongside other MainWP extensions, including the Boilerplate Extension for template posts and pages.
Best for
- Agencies managing SEO for many client WordPress sites
- Developers who run a MainWP Dashboard network
- Site owners using Yoast SEO across several sites

Questions about MainWP WordPress SEO
Do I need Yoast SEO on my sites for this to work?
Yes. The extension is built around the Yoast SEO plugin. It lets you manage Yoast SEO settings, check its status and publish Yoast SEO meta details to your Child sites from the MainWP Dashboard, so your Child sites need Yoast SEO in place.
Does it require MainWP?
Yes. It is an extension for the MainWP Dashboard and depends on MainWP. All of its features, from the meta boxes to bulk settings import, run inside that dashboard and apply to the Child sites connected to it.
Can I set different SEO details for each post?
Yes. When you create a post or page in the MainWP Dashboard, Yoast SEO meta boxes appear on the Add New Post and Add New Page screens. You can fill in custom SEO details for that item, then publish it to your chosen Child sites.
