Hey there Vicky,
Few things here:
1. As others have stated, let your website settle with the algorithm. Google pushed these out and then they go back retroactively and fix inconsistencies that their AI may have missed the mark on.
2. Please remember that Yoast is just a tool. In many cases it can be a great starting point to build off of but do not rely fully on any plug-in to do your Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for you. I am not suggesting you are but some of the “requirements” Yoast has in their green-list are questionable.
3. Create a theory. Why do you believe your website may have de-ranked? Put yourself in the shoes of Google and be honest with yourself regarding your property. Is there an about page with pictures of real people? Is your content actually better than the properties above you? So on and so forth. Reason these things out and then begin to make a list on where you can improve once rank has settled in.
All in all good luck! I’m sure everything will be alright and if not, we’re always here to keep helping and supporting you. _{👍🏽💟7}

Just relax and pray 😉 unless of course you're just making obvious rookie mistakes, which doesn't seem to be the case from things you say. But if things don't improve you can connect with me. Will see what I can do for you. Fingers crossed for you 🙂

Wait a 2-4 weeks. During that time analyse the websites that are the top of the SERPs for your keywords and try to figure out what they are doing that you are not. Make a list. If there's no changes to your SERPs within that time frame, start implementing the changes you have listed. In the meantime consider other traffic sources such as paid ads or social.
Oh and don't panic buy and pay someone to "fix" your website – it's still too early. _👍🏽1

So the issue is that you may have not been truly at those levels. There is whats called a natural Google SEO boost with new content and then it drops back to natural level. You might need to explore other tools like onpageoptimizer or seosurfer. Yoast may not be as good of a tool if you are not cluster keywords and looking at competition pages. Next step is really to analyze top 3-4 pages for keywords and build out similar key word volume, header, clustered key words etc. _👍🏽1

Yoast is a computer and a guideline. It helps to think much more broadly than that. How GOOD is your content in terms of quality and competitiveness? Have you compared to your top ten competitors? How did the algo hit them? I take Yoast with a grain of salt. It's useful but not a bible that should be followed to a T. I find that using 3rd party software, I have both SimilarContent and SEMRush to be so much more useful. I use the SEMRush writing assistant and have found that, with a follow up backlink campaign extremely powerful. But after 20 years, the quality of the content has helped with SEO stability along with regular, fresh content.

Guys, Just follow the Google guidelines without contact to any Agency.They are doing link building and your website may be penalized after this kind of core update.

Simply follow the search engine guidelines… Genuine quality content and backlinks as well … No update will harm you…the main focus of Google is to provide the best results and user experience … So also focus on the user experience and interface of your blog or site as well _👍🏽1

Overall given the climate of the world and business closing down, it sucks that Google would implement this now and further curtail small business' exposure through search. I realize its up to us to keep up with the times, but doesn't seem like they care even tho it looks like they do through their tv ads. _👍🏽1

Seeing so many people just posting to sell their services is so annoying.
Someone needs help there have been some great replies, but the parasites are clouding that content _👍🏽1

Check your website Core Vitals, i read some of the post that Google November update is for Core Vitals, check your content, make sure you don't do keyword stuffing and Plagiarized that can detect that your content came from other website.

Yoast SEO is just a plugin that can't improve SEO within its rules. It helps you to set up some "SEO things", but that's it. If you provide right SEO, updates can help you to achieve your goals.
1) Don't panic. What about traffic? Do you see significant drop in organic traffic?
2) Give it 1-2 weeks. Your website will recover. If you don't notice any recovery, you need SEO audit. From my experience website owners often overlook some SEO aspects.
I recommend you to hire SEO specialist, who can help you. It doesn't expensive and it can be a good investment in a business. How to find SEO specialist? First, this person don't use any "Search Engine Optimization | SEO tool" because Google Search Console and some web tracking tool are enough. Second, this person focus on your audience, marketing strategy, and your content. Third, this person should exclude tech issues. WordPress is SEO-friendly, but sometimes using plugins or some settings can affect SEO.
Good Luck!
