| description | Yoast SEO platform help — the most widely used WordPress SEO plugin (13M+ installs) with a Shopify app. Covers content analysis, readability scoring, focus keyphrase optimization, schema/structured data output, redirect manager, internal linking suggestions, AI-generated meta descriptions, llms.txt for AI search, REST API for headless WordPress, and WooCommerce product SEO. Use when Yoast readability or SEO score won't turn green, schema markup isn't showing in Google Search Console, your site slowed down after installing Yoast, you need to set Yoast fields via REST API for headless publishing, Yoast update caused a critical error, or you want to configure Yoast for Shopify. Do NOT use for general SEO strategy without Yoast context (use /seo-audit or /sales-semrush). |

Yoast SEO Platform Help
Step 1 — Gather context
If references/learnings.md exists, read it first for accumulated platform knowledge.
Ask the user:
-
Which platform are you using Yoast on?
- A) WordPress (free plugin)
- B) WordPress (Premium / AI+)
- C) Shopify
- D) WooCommerce
- E) Not sure / evaluating
-
What do you need help with?
- A) Content optimization — SEO score or readability won't improve
- B) Schema / structured data — not appearing in search results
- C) Technical setup — redirects, sitemaps, canonical URLs, robots
- D) API / headless — setting Yoast fields via REST API
- E) Performance — site slowed down after installing Yoast
- F) Update issue — Yoast update broke something
- G) Shopify-specific — setup, uninstall, schema, llms.txt
- H) Pricing / plan comparison — which tier do I need
- I) Something else — describe it
Skip-ahead rule: if the user's prompt already contains enough context, skip to Step 2.
Step 2 — Route or answer directly
| Problem domain | Route to |
|---|
| General SEO strategy (not Yoast-specific) | /sales-seo [your SEO question] |
| AI search visibility / LLM citations | /sales-ai-visibility [your question] |
| Schema markup strategy (cross-platform) | /schema-markup [your question] |
| Email deliverability for marketing | /sales-deliverability [your question] |
| WordPress site performance | Answer directly using platform guide |
When routing to another skill, provide the exact command: "This is a general SEO question — run: /sales-semrush [user's original question]"
If the question is Yoast-specific, continue to Step 3.
Step 3 — Yoast platform reference
Read references/platform-guide.md for the full platform reference — modules, pricing, integrations, data model, APIs.
Answer the user's question using only the relevant section. Don't dump the full reference.
Step 4 — Actionable guidance
