Yoast SEO plugin take care of most of your SEO problems such as Google sitemap, Meta Tags, Title, Checking content and keywords etc.



About Themes well I don't think it matters a lot because everyone customize their sites to look different. So Google see 2 different sites and 2 duplicate sites. You don't have to worry about it. Just make sure to remove all unwanted stuff from home page and keep it unique.

focus on meta descriptions. the meta description can be used by search engines to show in the snippet, it’s the black piece of text shown beneath the url. the meta description is usually only used when it contains the keyword the searcher was searching for.
some plugins, most specifically the all in one seo plugin, use so called “automated descriptions”. they use the first sentence of a post to fill the meta description by default. that’s not very smart. that first sentence might be an introductory sentence which has hardly anything to do with the subject.

Meta Description is mainly used by Google to display short description about the site in their search result. They no longer give much weight of meta tags like they used to. Now it's mostly about content. But title tag is still important.

yeahh the title tag is very important. its must contain keywords relevant to the content of the web page we describe

Article SEO has changed a lot in recent days. Keywords being replaced by synoynms is one big notable change that will affect you directly.

I use ''All in one SEO pack'' plugin for wordpress site. I chose ''All in  One  Seo pack plugin''  because , as it name suggests, it has all the basic necessities for basic search engine optimizations. it helped my site to rank at google search. I also recommend you to use ''All in one SEO pack'' plugin,  because it has a very user friendly user interface .  you can do a simple google search when you don't know what to fill in the the boxes that ask you to fill in. I had a pretty much nice experience with ''All in One SEO pack'' plugin.I hope you will use it. Bye!!!!
