Here are a few that we thought would be particularly worth mentioning.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;72px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"qodef-h5\">1. Easy to Follow Setup Wizard<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]One of Rank Math\u2019s great advantages is that <strong>its setup process is extremely simple and takes very little time to complete<\/strong>, thanks to the step-by-step auto-configuration setup wizard. Not only does the wizard let you import settings from other plugins, but it can also import settings that you previously backed up (in case you used Rank Math on another website), so you won\u2019t have to set them all over again.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221;]<div class=\"qodef-single-image-holder   qodef-has-border \">\n    <div class=\"qodef-si-inner\" >\n                                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"710\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Rank-Math-Plugin.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Rank Math Plugin\" srcset=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Rank-Math-Plugin.jpg 710w, https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Rank-Math-Plugin-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Rank-Math-Plugin-620x332.jpg 620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 710px) 100vw, 710px\" \/>                        <\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;82px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"qodef-h5\">2. Integration of Rich Snippets<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]If you install Rank Math, you will also get full Google Schema Markup (also known as Rich Snippets) support \u2013 in fact, <strong>you get it for 14 different types of snippets<\/strong>, which will allow you to optimize your posts in no time.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;72px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"qodef-h5\">3. Module-Based System<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Rank Math comes with an extremely useful set of modules that you can enable or disable according to your preferences. These let you create a more personalized experience with the plugin. Some of these modules include <strong>404 monitor<\/strong> (which controls all 404 error logs on your site), <strong>Link Counter<\/strong>, <strong>Local SEO &amp; Google Knowledge Graph<\/strong>, <strong>Search Console<\/strong>, <strong>Sitemap<\/strong>, and more.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221;]<div class=\"qodef-single-image-holder   qodef-has-border \">\n    <div class=\"qodef-si-inner\" >\n                                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"710\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Rank-Math-Dashboard.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Rank Math Dashboard\" srcset=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Rank-Math-Dashboard.jpg 710w, https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Rank-Math-Dashboard-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Rank-Math-Dashboard-620x332.jpg 620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 710px) 100vw, 710px\" \/>                        <\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;82px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"qodef-h5\">4. Internal Linking Suggestions<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Another great thing that you get by installing Rank Math is an Internal Linking Suggestions feature which <strong>recommends other posts that you can use for internal linking according to your current posts<\/strong>. This feature gives your posts more chances of ranking higher on search engine result pages.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;72px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"qodef-h5\">5. Google Keyword Ranking<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The Rank Math SEO plugin also comes with the possibility of tracking your Google keyword rankings.
