Why do I need the “import from other SEO plugins” feature? 

When you work on your posts and pages to prepare them to rank in search engines, you add metadata to them. For example, you probably have set carefully crafted meta descriptions, SEO titles, and keyphrases for each of your posts. Yoast SEO imports that metadata, so your hard work remains intact.

Keep the metadata of your posts and pages 

You won’t have to rewrite new meta descriptions or keyphrases for all your posts. With a few clicks, you can let Yoast SEO take care of importing the data for you. 

Easily migrate your data from a long list of SEO plugins
