We have very exciting news to share with you: we’re combining Yoast SEO Premium with Yoast SEO Academy! If you buy Yoast SEO Premium, you’ll now also get free access to all of our SEO training courses in Yoast SEO Academy. So the price of Yoast SEO Premium hasn’t changed, but what you’re getting has! This combination of our two biggest products will allow you to take your SEO to the next level. In this post, I’ll explain why we are combining these products, why we are so excited, and how you can get started with Yoast SEO Academy.

The Yoast SEO Premium plugin helps you with your SEO and Yoast SEO Academy helps you optimize your efforts by offering different SEO training courses. Courses on local SEO, structured data, SEO copywriting, and so on. Now, we’re combining these products into one, powerful product. And the good news is that you’re getting all of that for the price of our plugin:

Why combine the two?

In order to outrank your competitors in the search engines, you need technical excellence and a kick-ass content SEO strategy. Our plugin takes care of all the technical aspects of SEO. In addition, Yoast SEO helps you to write SEO-friendly text and to set up an awesome internal linking structure.

But you can do more! If you really want to make a difference and attract even more traffic to your website, you should take your SEO to the next level: learn how to use structured data blocks, discover how to do keyword research like an SEO-professional or upgrade your blog posts with storytelling. We’ll teach you all these things in our online training courses. 

Training courses you’ll get access to

With this combination, you’ll get access to Yoast SEO Academy Premium when you buy the Yoast SEO Premium plugin. This means that you’ll have free access to all of our current and future SEO training courses. Let’s look at the 12 training courses we have right now:

• Are you just getting started with SEO? Our All-around SEO and SEO for beginners training courses will teach you all the SEO basics you’ll need to start ranking.
• Learn how to make your content enjoyable, relevant and easy to find with the courses Keyword research, SEO copywriting and Site structure.
• Dive into and master the technical side of SEO with our training courses on Technical SEO and Structured data.
• Be found by people in your area or go international with our courses on Local SEO and International SEO.
• But that’s not all! You’ll also have access to our WordPress for beginners course, the Block editor training, a course on how to set up and use Yoast SEO for WordPress and get the latest SEO news from our experts.

SEO for everyone

If you’re familiar with Yoast SEO Academy, you’ll probably know that our Premium subscription used to cost a bit more than our Premium plugin. So you might be wondering why we’re giving you free access to all of our training courses and Yoast SEO Premium for the price of only our plugin?

The answer to that is easy: we want to make SEO accessible for everyone. We want everyone to have a fair chance at those top rankings. And we want you to get the best out of our plugin and your SEO efforts. That’s why we made the decision to combine these products and make it possible for everyone to step up their SEO game.

Excited about sharing our knowledge

We are very excited about combining Yoast SEO Premium and Yoast SEO Academy. We think it brings together the two things you need in order to set up a successful SEO strategy: technical excellence and SEO knowledge. 

Yoast is well integrated within the SEO community and we closely collaborate with Google, Microsoft and WordPress. We’ve  always been on top of the latest SEO news and use our SEO knowledge in order to finetune our product and to develop new features for the Yoast SEO plugin.

But our expertise is also really useful in educating people. SEO can be hard and translating SEO news into ‘work you need to do on your site’ is even harder. We share our SEO knowledge in training courses. And as it is now far less expensive, it’ll be more accessible and will empower even more people. 

How to get started with Yoast SEO Academy

In the past years, we developed a lot of different training courses. We have an SEO for beginners course, but also offer courses for people that already have some SEO experience. The training courses, which offer a lot of videos and reading materials are also a great way to refresh your SEO knowledge. For SEO newbies, I would generally recommend starting with the All around SEO course. You’ll get the very basics of all SEO topics and can easily decide which topics you want to dive in deeper.

So get started with your SEO by using Yoast SEO Premium and optimizing your SEO efforts with free access to all of our training courses in Yoast SEO Academy. We’ll be there to guide you along the way and help you create content your users and the search engines will love:

Already a premium user?

If you’re already a premium user, you need to renew your license to get access to Yoast SEO Academy. This means you’ll add time to your already existing subscription. We understand that this may be annoying, especially if you’ve only recently renewed. The reason we’re doing it like this is very simple: our e-learning systems can’t handle giving every one of our hundreds of thousands of existing customers access all at once.

How to renew:

Log into your MyYoast account, on your account page, click “Manage” for the subscription you want to extend, and then click “Extend subscription with a year”.
