A new Yoast SEO Premium service for Search Engine Optimization which includes Local SEO, News SEO and Video SEO for websites that use their services, has been announced. This was announced through special emails to clients of YOAST SEO on 25th June, 2025.
According to YOAST, the new premium service will integrate the current premium service with its Local SEO, News SEO & Video SEO services. This integrated service is expected to provide premium users with the benefits of all its services and ensure users do not have to pay for the separate services.
What is in the New Yoast SEO Premium?
The new improved service will take effect at the end of July, 2025. “We’re reaching out to inform you of an upcoming price update to your Yoast SEO Premium subscription, which will take effect on July 31, 2025,” the email said.
It added that “As part of this update, your plan will transition to the new, enhanced Yoast SEO Premium. It now includes the additional value of Local SEO, News SEO, and Video SEO, products that were previously sold separately.”
This means websites that have access to and use the new YOAST will be able to rank globally and rank locally, among others. News sites will also be able to rank higher, while videos will also rank better.
In addition to the above, users on the premium service will also get “access to one free seat of the new Yoast SEO Google Docs Add-on, launched in June 2025”.
This means users will only have to buy a single plan to have all the benefits above.
This update reflects those changes while also adding significantly more value to your subscription in a single, simplified plan.
