First time setup seemed easy and so far the content seems to be useful for my site's SEO. I love the easy one click integration.
We don't have much SEO, but lot's of PPC. The app has helped us get our seo started, useful as its something we don't really understand until now.
I used this app to boost my SEO for about a month. It's a great app to have, easy to use for beginners. Overall, I recommend it.
I am sure this would be ok if you have made zero input in to your site's SEO already and want an easy win with marginal effect (SEO is more about doing your keyword homework than actually changing them, this won't do that for you).
Unfortunately it decided to change all of my meta titles and descriptions upon install... some of these were titles and descriptions which were already optimized and working well! So I immediately uninstalled to find a lot of code left behind which I had to manually remove to get my meta data displaying again as it did before installing. Fortunately, have managed to remove it but if you do not know what you are doing and find yourself in the same position as me, you'd probably panic!
Hi there,
First of all thank you for trying our app!
There are two things that I feel I should clarify here:
1. Smart SEO does not change the meta titles and meta descriptions that you have in the Search engine listing preview section in Shopify. But Smart SEO changes your actual page meta title and description based on the SEO templates you have in the app. With the templates you have 100% control over what meta tags are being generated. If you want to use the meta tags from the Search engine listing preview section, the ones that you already had, you just have a template which uses the ${default-meta-title} and ${default-meta-description} token and apply this template to the products that you want. You can also apply it to a collection of products.
Again Smart SEO does not mess with your backend and the data that is already there. What it generates is a matter of configuration and is generated on the fly.
2. Smart SEO has an Add Integration button on the Setup page. Pressing this button will add the Smart SEO code to your theme. But you also have the Remove Integration button. Pressing this one will remove the code from your theme. You do not really have to go and manually amend your theme. It is all there and is automatic.
I hope this information is useful! And if you decided to give the app another try we will be more than happy to set it up for you in a way that meets your requirements.
Thanks!
Why there so much manual work no need for that... You need to be able to automate everything with tokens...
The original review was as follows:
"Crap! Why there so much crap, no need for that bulshit... You need to be able to automate everything with tokens..."
But what Shopify did is to remove the profanity from the review to make it more legit in other words protect and legitimize an otherwise dodgy merchant.
To Shopify I would like to say:
Way to go Shopify! You are the ones that deserve a bad review here and I would have given you one but we are your partners and unlike you we will act as one. Next time please take into account that your partners are as valuable as your merchants, if not more valuable and do support them.
To the merchant I would like to say:
The profanity in your review speaks about a person who is unfit to do business and therefore I believe that people visiting your website should know this. And we as an SEO company will make sure that they do.
