Why teams switch to NexalSEO
Redirects without an add-on
Most alternatives put redirect management behind a separate plugin or a paid tier. NexalSEO includes 200 redirects free.
Internal linking built in, not bolted on
Orphan-page detection and contextual link suggestions ship in the free plugin, not a premium upsell. See how it feeds semantics authority scoring.
Where NexalSEO goes further
Feature-by-feature parity is only part of the story — these are the areas where the gap is widest: semantics authority scoring, a connected schema graph instead of disconnected snippets, a 5-card WooCommerce audit, and a self-checking Local SEO module.
Deactivate your current SEO plugin first to avoid duplicate meta tags, then follow the getting started guide — NexalSEO’s importer carries over existing meta titles and descriptions automatically.
