App randomly deletes uploaded images both for products and blog posts.
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
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!
Hi Lori,
Pat here from Booster SEO Tier 2 Technical Support. I've had the chance to read your review on the app store, and I'd like to offer my heartfelt apologies for the less-than-ideal experience you've encountered.

Please accept our sincere apologies once more, and I'm eager to hear from you soon.
Best regards,

well we waisted five minutes so far, can't put an honest star rating on it "0" yet but if it works ill bring the stars- clicked on the free messenger app and shopify.app.store cant connect perhaps i need to fix fb settings.we will return
I was really excited to use the app, but when I opened it, it said that apps.shopify would not connect. Disappointed with technical issues
Worst app ever. Had some good selling going on. Installed it to grow bigger. After installing and following the instructions my web page got 60%less customers. Deleting the app won't work, my webshop is ruined.
We're sorry to hear about your experience! It looks like you had the app installed for less than a day, which doesn't seem like enough time for such a big change....good or bad. There may be something else going on, and a team member is reaching out to see if you'd like an expert to review your store's setup.
This app ruined all of my exisiting Google Meta Descriptions and replaced them all with garbled words. Be careful using it. You can lose money like I did.
Attention, this is the worst app on shopify, dont use it. We installed it for trial. after deleting, the app has deleted completly our whole Meta Data of every product, every page in our onlineshop.
We ranked for 90 keywords on Nr. 1 - from 3 days we have lost over 70% of rankings now. Dont use it trust me.

Cant get the app to work honestly. No idea why it isn't working but yeah not a fan blah blah blah 100 character minimum.
didn't work, there's no tags in my images...
Die App hat meine SEO-Punkte verschlechtert, tytle-tags dupliziert... und dazu wird alles nicht gelöscht, wenn man die App desintalliert... nicht zu empfehlen.
