We're very sorry to hear that issues happened to your store. However, SEO Booster app does not have any functions that can delete images from your website. We've also sent you a request to access your store to find out the true cause of this problem. Please check our follow-up email and grant us the access so we can back you up further.

Hello there,
Quick-start is one-time shown for very new customers. It helps you have the first impression of the easy and friendly use of the app.
Besides, with just a few clicks there, some SEO issues from your site have been truly fixed.
Sure, you can skip the review step right on the Quick start. There're buttons for you to do so. It's also shown once so when you refresh or reopen the app, it will not have a chance to bother you at all.
Thanks

Update: There is too much of a language barrier and understanding how their app even works been frustrated for over a month after the new update to the app things have gotten worse. Amp is very limited and there is no customization for how your pages look except limited color choices. Customer service is fast to answer but that doesn’t help if it can not be resolved. Uninstalling and going to try something else.

Update: I have reinstalled the app because of Hana in customer service. She is working with me to help get things resolved.

Update: I made those changes that you recommended and nothing changed in fact when I updated that section in your app as I was told by a support person it added hundreds more of my product to the warmings for meta descriptions. You should investigate your app before coming to a conclusion that I am wrong.

Update: Boy did I jump the gun. This app is not working correctly and bringing in the full descriptions instead of the SEO Meta Descriptions and their resolve was for me to go in and fix 968 meta tags so they will not have warnings. I cleared cookies updated that section in the app as I was told. They claim they see something different than I do on their side. Apparently we are not on the same page nor do they understand what the problem is. I give up! Uninstalled...

I have to say the customer service is absolutely amazing. There are always kinks or issues when you are using a sophisticated app like this to do the most important thing your store needs "SEO". All the tools you need to improve your ranking and if you have any issues the support staff will be there to resolve the issues. Thank you SearchPie! (Secomapp)

When I needed help the employee was great. But now that I've paid full price the app doesn't work at all. I'll be getting a refund on this. Buyer beware.

Updated review. 5 stars to 1!
So disappointing!
We have weglot installed to translate our website into multiple languages. We explained this to multiple agents at SEO booster & ranking who reassured us that this was okay and SEO Booster & Speed would help us rank in other languages. We are a english business based in Spain. Our website is built in english and I explained the importance of us being found on seo for our multiple languages (primarily spanish). We have now been told that SEO Booster & Speed doesn't support multiple languages. I have been paying ¢79 a month for months and seen absolutely no improvements... not even to the english version of our site. I've updated EVERYTHING that they suggested within the app. I wish I had spent the money on an SEO expert. Also, we changed our url months ago and this hasn't even updated on the app (even though I contacted support and asked if I needed to do anything and was assured it would automatically update from shopify). Do not waste your money. Get a specialist involved!

Dear FOX & WOLF team,

If only we could express how deeply sorry we feel for your inconvenient experience. We reviewed your feedback carefully and we'd like to provide you with a clearer clarification.

1/ About your new domain, we checked and updated them in Today SEO report in the app, please check and let me know then.
2/ Our supporter didn't clarify to you properly of how Search Pie app supports multi-language stores in SEO, we're so sorry about that. As an SEO app, our codes are optimized for the translation app (like Weglot) to help you translate SEO elements in English you set up via our app (like meta tags, Alt tags, etc.) to other languages. In addition, our app has other features to support multi-language stores.
3/ Your Spanish pages are actually indexed successfully on Google already, but they are not in the top rankings and pages now. If you search the keyword only, it will be difficult to find your store immediately on the first pages of Google search. I would recommend you include your domain when searching to see your Spanish pages.

We did also send you a follow-up email about this for further information, please kindly check that in your email inbox. Our team is awaiting to hear from you soonest!

Normally, the result of SEO settings improving your site will not be noticed right away. But it’s proved that it really will.
We have sent you a supporting email to follow up further. Please relax and always write to us when you need any help.

Edited July 30, 2022

The product title or any word of product title is keyword. When I add the product title or any word of product title to Keyword Audit window it shows that Keyword is not in URL Handle. This should not be and this is the worst mistake of your application. Your application needs improvement.

Horrible doesn't work and messes with you store speed and functionality. Go to Google Search Console and submit your site before and after having the app. Speed decreases and SEO doesn't increase. Fraud of an app. See for yourself.

This is a disappointing app. This app didn't help improve SEO. What's more, I had a bad experince by their customer service. When we uninstall the app, title tag and meta description were caused problem. We asked them to fix them, but they deleted title tag and meta description from all pages of our site. They did not notice that even though we emailed a couple of times. We emailed them to fix the code, but they did not response. They did not notice the problem caused by them. I had to fix the code broken by them. It's a bad experience.

Dear Japan Knife Shop team,

I appreciate you letting me know about your unexpected experience. We strive to ensure every customer is satisfied with our business, and I apologize for any way in which we may have inconvenienced you.

We replied all your email but the replies seemed not well-delivered to you. Our app didn't delete your SEO tags, and our dev has cleared all codes fo the app on your theme, which means all your SEO tags are back to Shopify default.

We have sent you a follow-up email on this issue, please check your email inbox and give us another chance to bring you a better experience with our app. Thank you very much!

Very bad app. We have uninstalled this app, yet it is still in our theme code. How to uninstall it properly?

This app installs some of its code in the theme, due to which errors start appearing in all your products. Our website used to rank in Google earlier, but due to this app, all our products started coming in error and Google has removed all our products from its search. And if you install this app and then uninstall it, still its code remains in the theme, it never completely delete. It's really bad app :(

NEVER INSTALL

We are very sorry but the issue was caused by another app. You can see that even when we removed all codes from our app, the issue still existed.
Thank you so much
