Cost per category calculation for Local SEO

When you use WooCommerce together with the Local SEO plugin, you will see an additional WooCommerce settings tab in the Local SEO settings screen.

Click on the Click here link to access the specific Local Store Pickup settings. These allow people to pickup their ordered products (WooCommerce) at the Locations, setup by the Local SEO plugin.

On this settings page the Locations can be setup, together with the pricing for every pickup location (or locations per category).

Just as with the default WooCommerce shipping pricing input fields, some shortcodes are allowed to calculate the prices. We apply the same calculations as WooCommerce.

For example, this is how some calculations are made, according to the Woo docs:

10 + ( 2 * [qty] ) – A base shipping cost of $10 plus $2 for each item in the cart.20 + [fee percent="10" min_fee="4"] – A base shipping cost of $20 plus 10%

For more information, see the WooCommerce docs.

How to install Local SEO for WordPress

Configuration guide for Local SEO for WordPress

Can we use Yoast plugins on WordPress.com?

The basic WordPress.com plan does not allow plugin installation.

Upgrading to the WordPress.com Business or eCommerce plan allows you to install plugins from the official WordPress repository, like Yoast SEO, or upload custom plugins, like Yoast SEO Premium.

Learn more about the different WordPress platform options here.

Please know that certain code snippets, such the ones needed to implement Yoast SEO Breadcrumbs, may not work.

Add theme support for Yoast SEO breadcrumbs

If your theme declares support for yoast-seo-breadcrumbs, Yoast SEO will render breadcrumbs for you in the location of your choice. Plus, users of your theme will automatically get a Customizer component to customize their breadcrumbs to their liking.

If you want your theme to support Yoast breadcrumbs, follow the steps in our Yoast SEO Breadcrumbs implementation guide. After you』ve made sure breadcrumbs appear on every page and look nice, you can add the following bit of code to your theme』s functions.php file:

add_theme_support( 'yoast-seo-breadcrumbs' );

That』s all. As soon as you add that to your theme, breadcrumbs will be enabled immediately (the 「enable」 checkbox will actually disappear). So as soon as one of your theme』s users installs and activates Yoast SEO, the breadcrumbs will start working.

It is also possible to add breadcrumbs to individual posts and pages with the Yoast SEO breadcrumbs block. All you need to do is add the block and the breadcrumbs will automatically be featured on the post or page. Learn more about how to use the breadcrumbs block in this article.

What has changed in Video SEO?

At Yoast, we want to make optimizing your website and content as easy as possible for you. That not only goes for your written content but also for videos you add to your site. That』s why, in Video SEO 13.6, we decided to make a couple of big changes. Let』s find out what changed and how this helps you with optimizing your video content!

Pages with video embeds now load a lot faster

First of all, we』ve changed the way we load videos on your site. Embedding videos on your site usually slows down your pages, but that』s no longer the case if you use Yoast Video SEO. When you use the Video SEO plugin, your pages now only load a video when someone clicks on it. This ensures your pages with video embeds now load a lot faster!

Sidebar integration and improved user experience

Moreover, we』ve integrated Yoast Video SEO into the block editor (or Gutenberg) sidebar. This makes it a lot easier to use Video SEO while writing and editing your content, as you no longer have to scroll down to find the Video SEO meta box!

If you run Yoast Video SEO, you』ll now see a collapsible item called 『Video』 in the Yoast SEO sidebar. This will show the optimization areas you』re used to, nicely arranged next to your post. You can edit your video thumbnail, title and description, duration, and tags, all from the sidebar. This will give you a convenient overview while working on your content!

In addition to that, we』ve improved the user experience of the Video SEO settings. For example, the video thumbnail setting now shows a preview image, we』ve made it easier to add tags to your videos, and the duration setting now works with an HH:MM:SS formatted timecode instead of a text input field.

How to exclude content from the sitemap

Posts and pages can be assigned to multiple taxonomies and thus may unexpectedly show up in your sitemap when you thought it would be hidden. You can exclude individual posts or pages from the sitemap inside the metabox in both Yoast SEO and Yoast SEO Premium, or exclude certain content types by customizing the sitemap index. Log in to your WordPress website. When you』re logged in, you will be in your 『Dashboard』. Edit the post or page. On the left-hand side, you will see a menu. In that menu, navigate to the post or page (or other custom post type) you』d like to exclude. Expand the 『Advanced』 section and change the 『Allow search engines to show this Post in search results?』 to 『No』 for this post or page. Publish or update the post or page.

Use a filter to bulk exclude posts or pages

You or your developer can also use a filter to bulk exclude posts or pages from the Yoast SEO sitemap. The filter would be placed in your functions.php file. If you』re not sure where that is, please contact your theme developer. As a best practice, we recommend making a backup prior to editing theme files.

Add custom fields to the Video SEO plugin settings

The Video SEO plugin can analyse the videos in your custom fields. To do that, you will need to add the custom fields so the Video SEO plugin settings. In this post, we provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to do that.

To be able to add the custom fields to Yoast SEO, you need to know their names. If you are not sure what the names of the custom fields are, follow the steps in this post – Find the correct custom field name.

Create your own custom field for use with Video or Yoast SEOAdd custom fields to Yoast SEO Premium plugin settings

How to add custom fields to the Video SEO plugin

To add a custom filed to Video SEO, follow these steps: Log in to your WordPress website. When you』re logged in, you will be in your 『Dashboard』. Click on the SEO menu item in the admin menu on the left hand side. The menu expands and shows additional menu items. In the expanded menu, click on Video SEO. The Video SEO screen opens. Add the custom fields to the 『Custom fields』 input box. You can add multiple custom fields in a comma separated list like this: customfield,anotherfield2,onemore3custom Click 『Save Settings』. Scroll down and click on save settings. Do a Force Reindex On some sites you may need to do a force re-index. Click the box to do a force reindex and then click the button to run it. The Video SEO will then scan all your posts/pages etc., to try to find those videos in the custom field

Using Advanced Custom Fields (free or pro)

If you use Advanced Custom Fields you can add a video into the field and the Video SEO plugin will detect it. Make sure you are using a Text Field to add the video and no other field. Then take the Field Name (not the Field Label) and add it to the plugin using the steps we describe above.

Troubleshooting with Video SEO

If the video does not get picked-up use the Force Reindex Option to make Video SEO re-scan all your posts/pages.

When and why to set a primary location

If you have a big company with multiple locations, you might have one main location. Your head office, for example. In this case, you should set that location as the primary location. This allows the Local SEO plugin to output the correct site-wide LocalBusiness schema for companies with multiple locations but one primary location.

If your business only has a single location, that location will automatically be set as the primary location. So, in this case, you won』t need to do anything.

Why does my sitemap have gray links?

The gray links in your XML sitemap identify the URLs that your browser has recently visited. As this is browser-specific, you may or may not see different gray URLs depending on the browser and computer you are using to view your sitemap.

So, you don』t have to do anything. This is not something for concern!

Note: Google does not see the browser formatting as they retrieve the xml source code.

What are shared opening hours?

Shared opening hours apply to multiple locations of the same company. So, with this feature, you can quickly fill out opening hours that are the same for more of your locations. These opening hours will then be shared with all other locations that don』t already have opening hours set. The Local SEO plugin uses the opening hours to output the correct site-wide LocalBusiness schema.

Let』s explore an example to clarify this. For example, a dentist chain may have 10 locations that all have the same opening hours. In the Local SEO plugin, it』s now quick and easy to set these shared opening hours!
