Comparison
A Yoast alternative? They do two different jobs
Yoast works inside the page while you write it. Trovavio looks at the site from the outside, the way Google and ChatGPT see it, and tells you what to write. Many things we both do, some only Yoast, others only us. You can keep both, and almost everyone does.
What each of the two does
Where Yoast does better we say so. Nobody believes a table that wins on every row, and indeed we do not believe it either when we read one elsewhere.

Yoast does not look at AI. No SEO plugin does
It is not a flaw in Yoast: it was born in 2010, when clients searched. Today some of them ask, and the answer is built by a model reading the sites. It reads structured data, author, declared questions, dates, llms.txt: things no classic SEO plugin measures.
What you see, with Yoast switched on
This is the report of a page that already has Yoast installed and configured: title and description are there, and indeed they do not show up among the problems. What remains is what Yoast does not look at.
A page with Yoast already set up
SEO 78 · GEO 39 · title and description: nothing to report
No professional schema
Yoast declares the basic site schema. The type that describes your trade no. Generate the schema
No identifiable author
To a model, unsigned content could have been written by anyone.
llms.txt file missing
It tells AI which pages matter. Generate and publish it
The city does not appear in the title
Yoast checks the length of the title, not whether it names the place where you work.
What happens if you keep both
No conflict
We do not write into Yoast's fields and we do not generate a second sitemap. Our plugin reads them, so the score takes into account what you already wrote there.
Yoast stays your editor
You keep writing there. We tell you which title to use, and with one click we publish it into the field you are already using.
We look from the outside
The score of the whole site, the comparison with your sector, and the fifteen signals that decide whether an AI cites you.

Several are appearing, and they do something different from us: they produce content, posts, articles, campaigns. We measure the site you already have and tell you what to change, line by line, with the sentence ready.
If you need someone to write for you on five channels, that is not us. If you need to know why your site does not show up when a client searches for your trade in your city, that is exactly us, at 49 euros.
