Yoast SEO Tools Bulk Editor is the best way how to change titles and descriptions FAST!
This is included in the free version of Yoast. Yay!
Also known as “META TAGS”, every SEO expert in the world knows how to add META tags but most don’t know how to change them in bulk.
Yoast is by far the best way to change META tags in bulk.
SEO audits always discover META errors…
They will also warn you about “missing META tags” or “duplicate META tags”…
Heck, sometimes you just need to refresh your titles and descriptions to something more enticing aka clickbait.
Instead of going into each and every blog post and page to fix the problem… (spending hours) There’s a faster way to make edits.
Why Would I want to update my meta titles and descriptions?
This is a fantastic element to put to the test. For instance, if you find that your blog post isn’t generating many clicks, consider experimenting with a more compelling title and description. You can incorporate persuasive sales copy that resonates with your target audience. Additionally, if your title contains a previous year, it might be time to update it to reflect the current year, giving your content a fresh and current appearance. These tweaks can be effective in improving the performance and relevance of your content.
So How do I quickly change my Meta Titles and Descriptions?
Allow me to introduce you to a free solution. If you have the famous free YOAST SEO plugin, you already have this META tag tool. However, most people have not discovered this feature when using the plug-in. It’s the quickest way to add/update your meta titles and descriptions all listed accordingly.
