WordPress now has <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/\">over 30,000 unique plugins<\/a>, allowing users to execute their greatest imaginations when branding themselves online.<\/p>\n<p>The trouble for most is not having enough familiarity with how plugins operate to sift through such a massive inventory. Luckily, we&#8217;ve created a list of five plugins that have been shown to help users of all industries so you can start getting the most from your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/managed-wordpress-hosting\">WordPress website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>1.

Some of the key features include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Post Titles and Meta Descriptions: Every time you search in Google, you&#8217;ll see the title of a web-page and a description underneath. With the &#8216;Snippet Editor&#8217; you get to edit this section manually to have complete control over the SERPs appearance for your website.<\/li>\n<li>Visual Feedback: Yoast lets you know when your copy is ready to post from an SEO standpoint.<\/li>\n<li>Set Focus Keywords:\u00a0Yoast lets you know if you&#8217;re using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/2014\/04\/22\/take-headache-keyword-research\/\" target=\"_blank\">your focus keywords<\/a> too much, too little, or if you&#8217;ve used them\u00a0before.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>2.
