One of the best ways to attracting new potential members to your membership site is by giving some of the information for free and get non-members to enter your site.
You can do that by releasing some of the content for free without having to register to any membership, or you can give them some of the information in the post for free and grant access only by registering to your free membership.
We have collected some of the very useful plugins that will improve your membership site’s SEO.
Free Plugins to Improve Your SEO Rankings
All In One SEO Pack
Allows you to add a title, meta description and meta tags to each of the posts or pages you publish.
The information will be displayed in Google’s search results and it has two main purposes: 1. to increase your post’s chance of ranking higher in the search results and 2. to catch your potential visitors’ eyes and make them click on it
That’s why you need to make sure you include your keyword in the post’s title, description and tags, but you should also think of a good wording to attract as many visitors as possible.
SEO Smart Links
Allows you to automatically add links to keywords and phrases in your posts and comments and increase the internal links of your membership site.
Sharebar
Allows you to add a bar to every post and page with social buttons to different social sites: Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin etc. and increase the chances of getting more external links to your site and more exposure.
WP Smush.it
Allow you to reduce your membership sites’ images sizes and improve your site’s performance. Sometimes, when uploading images we may accidentally ignore the files’ sizes, and it can have a major effect on the time it takes to upload.
Not only does Google dislikes sites that takes to much time to upload and can hurt your ranking, but you are also losing visitors who already enter your site because it is very slow. You can analyze your site’s performance using this site: http://gtmetrix.com
P3 plugin performance profiler
This plugin allows you to find out which plugins are slowing down your site and delete the ones you are not using. Google takes in consideration the time it takes for a website to upload, so you should check your site’s time duration every few weeks/ months, depending on how frequent you are uploading new plugins.
404 Simple Redirect
Allows you to redirect visitors who came across a 404 HTTP error (when trying to access a broken or dead link) to a page you determine.
Dagon Design Sitemap Generator
Allows you to add a sitemap to your site, and the great thing about it is that it’s very customizable. You can divide the sitemap to pages, posts and categories. You can also present the comments in posts or pages, exclude certain categories and more.
Adding a sitemap to your site is highly important for increasing your your search engine rankings. You can see an example in this site’s sitemap here: https://wishlistmemberplugins.net/sitemap
