Import Guide

Move from Yoast, Rank Math or AIOSEO without treating migration like a leap of faith.

SEO-WP imports conservatively: dry-run first, paginate large migrations and never overwrite an SEO-WP field that already has a value.

Yoast SEO High-confidence site settings

Rank Math Metadata + moderate-confidence settings

All in One SEO Object & taxonomy data

Create a current database/site backup before changing the SEO layer.

Do not delete the source plugin before you know what will migrate.

Open SEO-WP → Import and verify the detected source.

Preview counts and mappings without writing.

Check posts, pages, taxonomies, products and multilingual content.

Use the paginated importer and keep the progress log.

Rank Math Schema mappings require spot-checking. Redirects are flagged rather than blindly migrated.

Yoast and Rank Math can remain active in Coexistence Mode while SEO-WP suppresses duplicate output.

Inspect title, description, canonical, robots, Open Graph, JSON-LD and sitemaps.

Then deactivate the previous SEO plugin if full cut-over is the goal.

What SEO-WP deliberately does not guess.

A safe importer should know when not to be clever.
