Migrate SEO between plugins

What it is

AISA's Backup/Restore is plugin-agnostic: it saves SEO by logical field (SEO title, meta description, focus keyphrase, slug...) through the active adapter, and restores by writing those same logical fields with whatever adapter is active at restore time. That means: back up with plugin A active → switch to plugin B → restore = your SEO is migrated from A to B.

This already works well between Yoast and Rank Math, and SEOPress is supported too. The restore writes into the new plugin without deleting the old plugin's data, so the migration is reversible until you uninstall the old plugin.

Coverage by adapter: Yoast (full), Rank Math (full), SEOPress (full), AIOSEO (partial — core title/description/keyphrase migrate via adapter methods, but its custom-table-only fields such as canonical/OG are not yet fully covered). Fields that have no equivalent in the target plugin (plugin-specific robots/schema) are skipped.

Questions people ask

How do I migrate from Yoast to Rank Math? Create a Backup with Yoast active, install/activate Rank Math, then Restore the snapshot — AISA writes the SEO into Rank Math.

Will this delete my old plugin's SEO? No. Restore writes into the new plugin; the old plugin's meta stays until you uninstall it, so you can roll back.

Does it migrate everything? Core fields (title, meta, keyphrase, slug) migrate across all four. Plugin-specific fields with no counterpart in the target are skipped, and AIOSEO's custom-table extras are not fully covered yet.
