Good to know
- Scores are the ones Yoast stored the last time a post was analysed in the editor. A post never analysed shows no score, and a change from chat doesn’t recalculate it until someone opens and saves the post there.
- Your assistant can check your sitemap: which plugin provides it, whether it’s on, and its address. Noindexed, draft and private posts stay out of it. It never submits anything to Google.
- Redirects are made with the free Redirection plugin, not Yoast Premium’s redirect manager.
- The WordPress title and the post’s status aren’t touched when you change SEO fields.
- Setting the focus keyphrase uses a small ability AI Puffer adds, because Yoast doesn’t offer one.
