I used Booster SEO over the last few months, before ultimately deciding to stop using it over the last few weeks as I transitioned to doing technical SEO work more manually.

The app is easy to install and automatically works on technical SEO work for you, which is nice. However, the main issue with this app is that it is quite vindictive if you ever stop using it and try to uninstall it. Using Ahrefs Site Audit as a reference, before installing Booster SEO and working on technical SEO my site audit score was an 89. Partly with Booster's help, as well as with manual technical SEO work (fixing broken links, adding manual 301 redirects, removing unnecessary webpages, etc.) that I did with my internal team we got this score up to a 99. However, after removing Booster SEO the score dropped to a 66 since Booster SEO removed my title tags on the way out, as well as undid the fixes that they made. They are transparent on undoing changes they made if you uninstall, but it looks like they will go even further than that and change things that they did not fix in the first place. So I would think long and hard about starting to use this app, and would recommend taking the time and effort to work on technical SEO manually which I think will pay off in the long run.

The other issue with Booster is that the 301 redirects for broken links that Booster sets up are not very smart. All 301 redirects that Booster sets up automatically go to the homepage, which is not a great experience both from a user experience as well as apparently (according to my SEO agency) in Google's eyes. It would be a lot more valuable if Booster tried to guess what the most relevant page was to redirect to, and then the user could approve/disapprove these proposed 301 redirects.

Hi Kevin,

Pat here from Booster Apps Support.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused during the uninstallation process. When uninstalling Booster SEO, only the app's meta tags are removed, while the default meta tags from your theme remain intact. It is common for SEO apps to leave the theme's page title and meta description commented out for technical reasons.

Additionally, our app creates a backup copy of your theme.liquid folder, allowing you to revert your theme back to its original state.

Regarding the redirection of broken links, our Autopilot feature enables bulk editing of redirect destinations. This gives you the ability to specify the desired destination URL for each broken link, directing visitors to the most relevant pages on your website instead of the homepage.

However, we'd be happy to look further into this for you. I have followed up with an email to you personally, in which we would be happy to hear from you and get to turn around your all-over experience using our app.

Again, we sincerely apologize for this inconvenience.

Regards,
Pat

Mediocre and expensive. I am glad I rid of it. Moreover, even uninstalled for more than a month it CHAREGED me $69!!!!
Use TinyIMG instead - it is MUCH MORE efficient and cost a fraction of that one.

Super expensive and doesn’t do what it says.

Look at your ‘Alt text’ after running the optimization prompt – nothing. The report will tell you that it did a great bulk edit and completed it successfully, but very wrong! It did rename all the photos properly – actually very well (5 stars there, but that’s the end of the 5 stars for me).

Look at Meta Data/Descriptions after it says it “optimized” it for you – Nothing! No changes!

My images were already optimized (somewhat) at under 400k for size, but out of 2400 photos it only dropped the amount by 76mb.

I encourage users to ‘actually’ look to see if this app is making substantial changes to your site in a positive way. The funny part is, I did all the recommended optimization through their app AND then I went into the ‘SEO Audits section – Select a Product’ then looked – no alt text was ever added, matter of fact, they are telling you to add it manually to improve your product SEO. So! I didn’t stop there, I tried again and nothing, again – so I installed Hextom: Bulk Image Edit & SEO (simultaneously with this app), then I ran their Alt Text on a few of my listings.

Guess what “this” Booster SEO app said on those listings when I refreshed the page? ….. Great Job! You added Alt Text and my score went up. WTF! I signed up for the $69.99/mo plan!!! That is a ridiculous amount of money – ESPECIALLY when it’s not doing what it says it’s going to do and I had to install another app to help show me all this! Btw, that app is so far amazing! Everything you tell it to do, you can go look and it actually does it – for a fraction of the price! Guess where my business went?

Another thing the Meta Data & Descriptions – no change, whatsoever….
So, I contacted customer support and they said our app can’t and doesn’t change text. Which I can sort of understand (you don’t want apps messing with your own words) Well, it doesn’t even add or do anything to optimize. ALL THIS DOES is give you a nice report (when clicking into every listing you have) how to try and optimize it yourself. So, for some maybe that knowledge is enough to pay that kind of money, but you can find that on google for free, just look up how to optimize your website for SEO, or better yet YouTube is packed with info!

Sorry for the rant, but I don’t care how many 5 stars this has, look for yourself…. It’s not doing what it portrays to do when you read about it when purchasing and the reason for this big review is I am a HARD worker, along with others, I’m sure. It’s not fair that they are wasting their money every month (an extreme amount!) for something that is not doing what they think it is. Again, just run the test folks, look for yourself! For all you small business owners trying to succeed, I wish you the best! You can do this!

free version...nothing is free. Even if you manage to do some changes manually, they go away once you uninstall.

Hi TheHolyArt,

I've read your recent feedback about our app and apologize for the confusion.

Our app's Free version is limited to one feature only: optimizing image alt tags or alt-text(bits of image-related code) so that your product images are ranked higher on Google Images.

Also, I want to clarify that uninstalling the app doesn't remove the alt-text/tags added by our app's free version, those will be permanent since our app has access to your image alt tags/text on your Shopify admin.

To further explain this, we have gone ahead and sent you an email.

Sincerely,
Darrel

I cannot recommend this app for no business, stay away from it as they claim things they cannot back up. It looks like the feedback you get is manufactured. It is a waste of money believe me. The reason they have a one-day free trial is obvious to me after I have tried it, no one should pay for this type of application after you find out how bad they are, and that is not possible to find out in one day.

Hi Grand Goldman and Co,

James here with the Booster SEO team. Yikes. I am so sorry to hear this happened. That should _never_ happen. I've got our Tier 2 team looking into this right now. In fact it's not possible for the app to do this, so I'm thinking this could be a clue to something else. In any case we'll look into it now and reach out over email shortly.

I also reached out over email to help make things right. If you have any questions please touch base with our support manager, darrel@boosterseo.com.

Cheers,
James

Upgraded from free to Pro, setup with care and detail for best results, left it running for 4 months and it has gradually reduced my sales and almost entirely destroyed our organic search results. Clear drop in sales compared to previous year and previous months,... now based on my research by uninstalling it I face ever worse results as the app does significant damage when removed, wiping out previous SEO improvements on it's way out.
