Step-by-Step Tutorial: Turning All Yoast Stoplights Green

Yoast SEO uses a stoplight system (red, orange, green) to show how well your content is optimized. Here’s how to get all lights green, quickly and efficiently.

The MAIN THING is – make sure that whatever you name your blog post – ALL OF THE FOLLOWING MUST BE IDENTICAL:

Keyphrase

Page Title

URL (called a slug in Yoast)

First words of your meta description

Alt Image Tags

H1 tag (on page)

H2 tag ( on page)

First words of the first paragraph

ALL OF THESE MUST MATCH – WITH ZERO VARIATION

SUMMARY – HOW TO TURN YOAST STOPLIGHTS GREEN

1. Choose a Focus Keyphrase

  • Decide on a specific, relevant keyphrase for your page.
  • Enter it in the Yoast “Focus Keyphrase” field.

2. Optimize Title and Meta Description

  • Include the keyphrase near the start of your SEO title and meta description.
  • Keep the title under 60 characters and the meta description under 155 characters.

3. Use the Keyphrase in the First Paragraph

  • Ensure your keyphrase appears within the first 100 words of your content.

4. Maintain Keyphrase Density

  • Use the keyphrase naturally throughout the text (generally 0.5–2.5% density).
  • Avoid keyword stuffing.

5. Add Internal and External Links

  • Link to at least one other page on your site (internal link).
  • Add at least one relevant external link.

6. Optimize Images

  • Include at least one image with the keyphrase in its alt text.

7. Check Readability

  • Use short sentences and paragraphs.
  • Add subheadings (with keyphrase where natural).
  • Use transition words and active voice.
  • Avoid long, complex words and sentences.

8. Use Keyphrase in Subheadings

  • Place the keyphrase in at least one subheading (H2 or H3), if it fits naturally.

9. Fill Out Slug and URL

  • Ensure the keyphrase is in the page URL (slug).
  • Keep the slug short and descriptive.

10. Fix All Yoast Feedback

  • Review Yoast’s suggestions under SEO and Readability.
  • Address any orange or red feedback until all indicators are green.

Tip: Don’t force the keyphrase if it makes content awkward. Prioritize readability and user experience.

Repeat these steps for every page or post you want fully optimized. With practice, turning all Yoast stoplights green will become second nature.
