The best SEO plugin for Woocommerce

We did several experiments to find which SEO plugin was the best for Woocommerce. The search for a good SEO plugin occurred after we found errors in Google search console because Google didn’t know which woocommerce shop URL to index. The google search console hesitated between /shop/, /shop/?orderby=date, /shop/?orderby=price-desc, /shop/?orderby=price. We discovered there was no canonical tag by default in the woocommerce shop page and the woocommerce product pages.

Woocommerce + All-in-one SEO plugin

The All-in-one SEO plugin adds a canonical tag to the woocommerce shop url but we found that the All-in-one SEO plugin didn’t add any canonical tags to the woocommerce product pages. 

Yoast

We found that Yoast added a canonical tag to both woocommerce shop pages and woocommerce product pages.

SEO framework

SEO framework adds a canonical tag to both woocommerce shop pages and woocommerce product pages. On top of that, when an HTTP and HTTPs version of a web page co-exist, SEO framework chooses one URL as canonical. On the other hand, we found that the Yoast plugin created 2 canonical tags (one http and one https). Check our investigation about http and https unique canonical tag and wordpress seo plugins.

Consequently, SEO framework is the best wordpress SEO plugin for Woocommerce. It has all the features to prevent duplicate content errors in google search console.
