I just started, Don't really even know what it is. Once it shows itself and I see what it does then I will give you a review.

Broke our theme upon install. Not sure how to fix it. Don't have time to reach out to the developer and wait for a response w/o tackling the fix ourselves. It injected some gibberish into the announcement bar and our favicon is also gone.

Not a very useful app to use if you are not committed to using their Premium plans. The cost of which is a bit too high for my budget. Sorry :-(

App was not user friendly, followed instructions and didn't help any. Gave me errors for pictures because there was no text underneath them? Didn't like the app at all, ended up deleting.

It was my understanding that this app was free, unless you opt for the paid features. When I tried to install I was immediately asked to confirm that I was happy for them take money from me. Then the spamming came for me to install the pro version. For the time it was installed I tried it out, problems with my H1 headings? Nope they are fine, it's just a cheap trick to get customers to buy their services for something they don't really need. There is no help section to the page you are directed to, no information regarding the "report".

In my opinion it a funnelling, not an app. They want you to install it to put you on plan. I also left with SEO fields inside my theme I cant get rid off after uninstall. thanks

Hi there,

Plug in SEO monthly subscription gives you a bunch of automatic SEO improvements to your shop along with tools and enhancements so YOU can manage your SEO yourself going forward.

Our SEO fix jobs and Plug in SEO Plus monthly options are completely separate and OPTIONAL but very complementary to each other. A lot of customers start out with Plug in SEO and then purchase one-off fix packages if they need more help in specific areas.

After uninstalling a Shopify app there may be code still leftover from it in your theme. That's often not the fault of the developer, it's the way Shopify works. Unfortunately when you delete the app in your Shopify admin the app's access to your theme is immediately removed: there's no opportunity to clean up leftover theme changes.

I've sent you a direct message, please get back to us and we will remove our left-over code or you may check the steps here:

Plug in SEO is a simple and easy to use app that will help you identify any SEO problems on your Shopify store. Most of our customers can testify to it being a user friendly app.

Note that you are under no obligation to write one before you've had a chance to use the app.

Hi there,

Apologies that your experience with us fell short of expectations.

Here's the difference between Free and Plus:

FREE: (which you installed and uninstalled in 9minutes)
- Unlimited SEO, Blog, Speed problems checks
- Fix instructions
- Automatic email alerts
- Email help & support

PLUS:
- Automatic SEO improvements
- Free install
- Instruction videos
- Premium support
- Structured Data (+ full JSON-LD)
- Powerful SEO control

If you want a 'done for you' solution we offer our fix packages which are completely optional.

This is also the reason why we offer the 7-day trial. We want the customers to check out the app first and if the features we are offering are what they are looking for before proceeding with paying $20/month.

I hope that you'll give our app another try.

Best,

This app immediately prompted me to agree to a monthly subscription of $20USD, or it exits you out of the app, despite saying they have a 'free forever' plan AND a 14-day free trial. I do not recommend an app that tries to force you into subscribing to their paid plan before they even allow users to try it out. The plan details are pretty misleading.

This app doesn't do much of anything. A cursory examination of a random few folks below who posted a favorable review reveals that their site SEO on their homepages is abysmal, including completely missing or useless page descriptions and title tags that only have the store name in them, collection pages where the title tag only has the collection name, so on and so forth.

That's not disparaging the site owners, just showing that this app does nothing other than try to entice you into paying for SEO work or mislead you into thinking your SEO is just fine when your pages have crappy or inaccurate title tags and are completely absent of meta descriptions for search engines.
