How to enable the Inclusive language analysis in Yoast SEO

Language and society are constantly evolving. How we talk to each other today differs from ten or even five years ago. That’s why Yoast SEO keeps on evolving as well. Our newest addition (in beta) is an inclusive language analysis. It’s an opt-in for people who want to write in an inclusive way. It checks your content for words that may be offensive to some people and gives you pointers on how to edit those words.

Note: The inclusive language analysis is opt-in
The inclusive language analysis is opt-in, so it won’t be activated by default. You can use it if you want to write inclusive content for your audience. You can activate it by going to Yoast SEO > General > Features and toggling the inclusive language analysis switch. The SEO and readability analyses won’t change if you choose not to use this new feature. Would you like to share feedback about the inclusive language analysis? Let us know what you think!
