I think i depends how well the website is built, the knowledge of the developer and editor, the time constraints and the principle of not re-inventing the wheel.
SEO plugins are good for:
– Websites that have not been built with SEO in mind;
– Content editors to learn about best practices when publishing content;
– Interfaces that provide content editors freedom to enhance information that would otherwise be automated.

Thanks! Can your recommend a good (simple) SEO plugin, that does its job without having too many settings?
You could try either of these (interesting links from my recent research into your question):

Hope this helps.

Thanks! Have you tried any of those plugins?
I’ve been testing both of these offline over the last fortnight. I think they both have good light-weight UIs without all the cruft of the more popular SEO plugins. I haven’t made a decision about which to recommend to my clients yet. But, yeah, give them a go and see what you think – they both seem very promising 🙂
Disclaimer: I’m not an SEO expert, just a web developer – so I kinda know what’s required for good SEO, without having enough experience to say how any particular plugin might support the needs of an SEO professional. My angle on this is deploying plugins for clients which are simple for them to use and don’t constantly confuse them.
