Yandex SEO

Yandex SEO Plugin for WordPress

See your Yandex Webmaster data inside WordPress, right next to Google and Bing. CrawlWP also sends your new and updated posts to Yandex the moment you publish, through the Yandex API and IndexNow. If some of your readers use Yandex, you will finally see them.

Why Yandex

Why use a Yandex Webmaster integration for WordPress?

Yandex is the main search engine for many readers in Russia, Turkey, Kazakhstan, and nearby countries. Most WordPress SEO plugins only show Google, so that traffic stays hidden.

See visitors you are missing

Find out how many people find you through Yandex, and which posts they click.

Get indexed faster

Yandex learns about new posts the moment you publish, instead of waiting for its crawler to visit.

One screen, not three

Check Yandex, Google and Bing together, without opening three separate websites.

Yandex search data

Clicks, impressions, keywords, and positions from Yandex Webmaster.

Side by side with Google and Bing

Yandex, Google and Bing on one screen — not three separate websites.

Send pages to Yandex

New and updated posts are sent straight to Yandex through its API, the moment you publish.

IndexNow

The same update also reaches Bing, Naver, Seznam.cz, and Yep, at no extra cost.

Easy site verification

Paste Yandex’s verification code once. CrawlWP adds the right tag to your site.

Numbers for each post (Premium)

See how each post performs on Yandex, not just your whole site.

The data

What Yandex data you get

The same numbers Yandex Webmaster shows, in plain words.

What you seeWhat it tells you
ClicksHow many times people clicked your page in Yandex’s results.
ImpressionsHow many times your page appeared in Yandex’s results.
Average positionWhere your page usually appears in Yandex. Lower is better.
Top keywordsThe Yandex searches that bring people to your site.
Pages in Yandex searchHow many of your pages Yandex has in its results, and how that changed over time.
Sample pagesThe pages Yandex has in its results, with the date it last visited each one.
Choose the date range. Every number sits next to the same number from Google and Bing.

How it works

Set it up once, then it runs on its own

Step 1

Verify your site with Yandex

Copy the verification code from Yandex Webmaster and paste it into CrawlWP’s Site Verification screen.

Step 2

Connect your Yandex account

Sign in with Yandex once. That one connection sends your pages to Yandex and brings your Yandex numbers back into WordPress.

Step 3

Compare search engines

See Yandex next to Google and Bing, so you can spot a page that does well on one search engine but not another.
