Migration & Import

Migrate SEO data from Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO, or SEOPress in one click.

Overview

RationalSEO can import SEO data from four major SEO plugins in one click. The import system is available under Settings → RationalWP → SEO → Import.

Supported Plugins

  • Yoast SEO
  • Rank Math
  • All in One SEO (AIOSEO)
  • SEOPress

What Gets Imported

The import process migrates the following data from each supported plugin:

  • SEO titles — Custom title tags set on individual posts and pages
  • Meta descriptions — Custom meta descriptions set on individual posts and pages
  • Plugin settings — Global configuration where applicable

How to Import

  1. Navigate to Settings → RationalWP → SEO → Import
  2. The page will show which supported SEO plugins have data in your database
  3. Click the import button for the plugin you want to migrate from
  4. The import runs immediately and shows a summary of what was imported

Important Notes

  • Deactivate other SEO plugins first. Running multiple SEO plugins simultaneously can produce duplicate meta tags and schema markup.
  • Import is non-destructive. The original plugin’s data is not deleted — it remains in the database in case you need to switch back.
  • Import can be run multiple times. Running an import again will overwrite any previously imported data with the latest values from the source plugin.
  • Back up your database before importing, as a precaution.
