Hello,
I’m sorry to hear that you’ve experienced a drop in traffic after migrating from Yoast SEO to Rank Math. Migrating between SEO plugins can sometimes impact your website’s SEO performance. Here are a few things to consider and steps to resolve the issue:
-
SEO Impacts Due to Migration:
- When migrating from one SEO plugin to another, such as from Yoast SEO to Rank Math, there can be challenges that affect your SEO settings. For example, Schema Markup and Redirections might not work the same way in both plugins.
- Schema Markup and Redirections are crucial for SEO. If these were set up in Yoast SEO and not properly configured in Rank Math, it could impact your search engine rankings.
-
Check and Reconfigure Settings:
- Verify if the Schema Markup and Redirections settings have been correctly set up in Rank Math after the migration.
- Manually configure any settings that were present in Yoast SEO but might not have been imported during the migration process.
-
Reassess SEO Strategy:
- Review your SEO strategy and ensure that all essential elements are properly configured in Rank Math to align with your website’s SEO goals.
- Double-check important settings like Sitemaps, Image SEO, and other critical SEO configurations.
-
Seek Further Assistance:
- If you need detailed guidance on how to configure Rank Math for optimal SEO performance or encounter any specific issues during the migration, please feel free to reach out to our support team directly at Rank Math Support.
Migrating between SEO plugins can sometimes require manual adjustments to ensure a smooth transition without negatively impacting your website’s search engine rankings. I hope these suggestions help you resolve the issue. Let me know if you need further assistance or have any other questions. Thank you for reaching out!

Hello,
There are a few things you have to keep in mind when using any SEO plugin, not just Rank Math.
1. An SEO plugin alone cannot bring down or bring up the traffic in a day (or even a few days) unless incorrect Meta Tags are used by setting up the plugin improperly. That’s why we have a detailed tutorial on that:
https://rankmath.com/kb/how-to-setup/
2. All the SEO plugins add Meta tags for the search engines which can be checked by viewing the source of a page. For instance, here:
view-source:https://rankmath.com/
Other popular plugins generate similar tags:

And with the Rank Math plugin, additional tags are added to a page so search engines can understand the content on a website better.
3. Google brings a new algorithmic update several times a month and the chances are great that your website got hit by that.
We have a full guide on that: https://rankmath.com/blog/google-algorithm-update-recovery/
And if you are using Rank Math PRO, you can even see if the drop in traffic correlates to an algorithm update. Here’s how:

FINAL STATEMENT
– If your website is doing good on SERP, Rank Math is your best bet to improve the rankings further.
– If your website is not doing well on search engines, Rank Math is the best option to move into.
Looking forward to helping you.
