I didn't know how to implement the advice. I know I need keywords and blog posts but it did nothing to help me write them.

Hi Amanda,

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Note that you are under no obligation to write one before you've had a chance to use the app. 

It sounds like you might be looking for more a 'done for you' solution. We offer one-off fix packages where an expert will go in and fix SEO problems. You will give our expert some guidance but they'll be doing the coding/writing for you: https://www.blimpon.com/pages/compare-seo-fix-packages

A lot of customers start out with Plug in SEO Plus and then purchase one-off fix packages if they need more help in specific areas.

Best,

Easy to install but hard to identify the benefits and if it's working.

Provides plenty of opportunities for enhancements in way of SEO, but asks for review immediately as a means of garnering Google cred. Hmmm.

After working through for a while, these are areas of concern:

--does not identify specifics. Tells you that "this page needs a longer header" or "H2, H3 subheading," but does not identify which page. Or, if it does, it is impossible for me to figure out which page it might potentially be referencing.

--says that the heading needs to be longer, with a format looking something like "men's winter parkas/ Bob's Jacket Store" . This is just wrong. Even the Plug In SEO does not format their page headings in this way. If you look at any site headings, they are all formatted "site name/page title/other specifics" . Not sure what that is all about.

These issues bothered me a bit.

The app store description is deliberately misleading and looks as though you can access all parts of the tool as a small, new store using the free plan. After installing, I immediately found I could not use the broken link checker because it is a premium feature (among several other prominent features). Please make this more clear in your app store descriptions before price-gating your features.

They really didn’t take the time to understand my niche market. They questioned my keywords which where the top rated by google AdWords. Page titles and headings where generic and keywords added to certain pages had nothing to do with the products on that page. Unfortunately was left very disappointed in the work performed

**Update**

Hi Alex,

Our recommendations came from intensive research, looking at what your target customers are searching for (user search intent) That's a very crucial part of SEO. Then we included these keywords in the text on your website, AFTER you've checked and given us the go-ahead signal to implement.

Of course, it's your call which text to use but since you've already removed our access we can't revise to exclude/include things you don't like or like nor can go with your suggestions.

Google Adwords is very different from organic SEO (which is what we do). They have different marketing approaches.

I suggest you get in touch with someone who is an expert with Google Adwords and they will be able to give you better advice.

I will keep you posted once your refund request has been approved and processed.

Since the work is carried out as described on the Basic SEO Package you purchased, the work must be reversed to get the refund but we will let you keep our SEO Experts work and I'm positive you'll be able to see good results and hopefully, this will change your review of our app.

Best,
PIU Team

Hi Alex,

Can you also send through the details and the screenshots of the error you're seeing since we're only basing our SEO report on our app checker?

Thanks!

I used the trial but now I can't end it. The program makes you notice that your page has issues but would be great if can show you the liquid file you need to modify even add the line number.

Do you have any questions at the moment about the app? Just send all your questions to help@pluginuseful.com and the team is ready to assist you.

This is good to get some advice, but even with the $20 plan you'll have to do everything manually (meta tags, headings, etcc...). Basically you'll end up paying $240 / yearly to get some short guide about basic SEO instructions. You can get it for free on thousands of free tutorial on-line.
To have some "fix" on your webiste the dev. of the app asks for extra fees.

So I don't get it... What I should pay $20 / monthly for??

Again, I associate the word "APP" to something that does the human job in an automatic way.
This is not!
Adding the same "meta description" to all the pages of the website is not a big help.
100% disappointed

Hi Hermes, to use the free forever version select 'no thanks' when offered the trial on signup. Aiza & Libby are ready to offer you free SEO help too on email.

The optional Plug in SEO Plus upgrade has both automatic SEO improvements and tools to help you do SEO yourself. Any app that advertises 100% automatic SEO as everything that's needed for optimization is dishonest.

The automatic improvements we give you in the upgrade include optimizing your page titles and meta descriptions through your whole shop and JSON-LD structured data. This SEO comes out-of-the-box.

Then we give you SEO tools to check keywords, monitor and fix broken links, and further optimize your titles and descriptions.

Our support can also help you research keywords, tweak your templates, fix headings and much more for no extra charge for Plus customers.

Whatever you choose, the completely free version or the optional Plus upgrade, you'll benefit from an app and expert support.

I've also reached out to you on email so we can talk about exactly what you're looking to achieve with SEO and how best to get there.

Looking forward to hearing from you and helping you reach your SEO goals!

Waste of time. I followed the step-by-step instructions to fix the problems. When the application checked again, it found again the same problems (the problems I had corrected with the application's instructions). LOL :-)
