Replacing Yoast sitemaps with Flowpane

Flowpane doesn't replace Yoast entirely — only the sitemap function. Keep Yoast for SEO features (meta tags, schema, readability).

Why replace Yoast sitemaps?

• Yoast generates sitemaps per-site with no cross-site visibility
• Flowpane provides validation, comparison, and cross-site governance
• Flowpane detects issues Yoast can't: orphan pages, broken links, canonical mismatches

Steps

1. In WordPress admin, go to Yoast SEO → Settings → Site features
2. Toggle off XML sitemaps
3. Run a Flowpane crawl on the site
4. Review the comparison results
5. Export the corrected sitemap
6. Upload to your site root
7. Submit to Google Search Console

Cost comparison

Yoast Premium costs approximately £9.99/month per site. Flowpane's per-site cost decreases as you add more sites, reaching significant savings at 10+ sites.
