Yoast SEO

How SEO usage is detected

Methodology

Company data

Detected companies are joined to UK Companies House records and XBRL accounts data. Revenue and headcount figures come from the most recent filed accounts; where the company has not filed, values are estimated using a model trained on filed history and peer benchmarks and are labelled as estimates.

Detection

Firmbase crawls the public website of actively-trading UK companies and fingerprints the technologies present: tracking scripts, embedded forms, chat widgets, CMS markers and similar signatures. A company is included in this list when one or more of the technology's signatures are found on its site; closely-related variants of the same product are grouped under one name. Detection covers what is visible on the public web — a company using the technology purely internally, with no website footprint, will not appear. Counts are therefore a conservative floor, not a ceiling.

Freshness

Websites are re-crawled on a rolling basis and the underlying company data is refreshed from Companies House continuously; filings appear within days of submission. The list and its statistics are regenerated when the detected cohort moves meaningfully. You can see the last-updated timestamp near the top of the page.

Frequently asked questions

What is the most-used SEO among UK SaaS companies?
Yoast SEO is the most-detected SEO among UK SaaS companies, with 77.8% share (1,366 of 1,756 companies with a detectable system), ahead of RankMath SEO (12.5%) and All in One SEO (7.5%).
How many UK SaaS companies have a detectable SEO?

What is a SEO?
An SEO system manages search metadata, indexation signals and sitemap output for a website, helping UK SaaS companies set how pages appear to search engines. In this scope it usually supports page titles, descriptions, structured markup and XML sitemaps for marketing and product pages.
How is SEO usage detected?
Firmbase crawls the public website of every actively-trading company in this scope and fingerprints the technologies present — scripts, widgets, booking and checkout flows. A company is attributed to a system when that system's signatures are found; systems with no public web footprint are not attributable, which is why every share figure on this page means share of companies with a detectable system.
Which has more UK SaaS companies, Yoast SEO or RankMath SEO?
Yoast SEO: 1,366 detected companies versus 220 for RankMath SEO, of the 1,756 UK SaaS companies with a detectable SEO.
