UPDATE: ALTHOUGH i STILL HAVE NO IDEA HOW THE APP WAS INSTALLED IN MY STORE A YEAR AFTER I UNINSTALLED IT, AND I UNKNOWINGLY PAID FOR THIS APP FOR 1 YEAR - YOAST CUSTOMER SERVICE DID REFUND ME FOR 1 MONTH OF THAT TIME. I am not sure what happened and how the app was 're-installed.' Their 'goodwill' refund of 1 month I do appreciate.

i installed Yoast when I first started with Shopify. It did not help my shopify store in any way that I could identify - so I uninstalled it. When I uninstalled the app, payments were no longer being withdrawn from my account. Then, about a year later, Yoast was mysteriously installed again into my shopify store. I did NOT install this app. I was unknowingly paying for this app for almost a year ( partly my fault as i was not paying attention to my shopify bills closely) I was paying for nothing. I then uninstalled again and contacted Yoast. Yoast claims that they would not be able to install the app in my store without my permission.

Thank you for sharing your review. We take all feedback seriously and see it as an opportunity to both improve and clarify things.

First, we want to address a fundamental misunderstanding:
Though our app offers some improvements out of the box and without needing to take manual actions on these, the most important parameters for improving your SEO are by optimizing content on a regular basis and performing careful keyword research. Without perseverance in SEO efforts and proper optimizations, it is not likely to achieve substantial SEO results.

Regarding installation and charges, we'd like to make absolutely clear that an app installation through the Shopify app store cannot take place without the merchant's permission or specific code authorization. This is how the Shopify system works:

https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/apps/installing-apps#install-through-the-shopify-app-store

When an app is installed, and as long it remains installed, Shopify's billing system will generate charges for it until the app is uninstalled:

https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/your-account/manage-billing/your-invoice/apps#subscriptions

This applies to all subscription-based apps available in the Shopify App Store, as Shopify determines its billing system at its own discretion. More information about Shopify app charges can also be found in this Shopify help article:

https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/your-account/manage-billing/your-invoice/apps

In addition, the reference to other reviews about charges, also have to do with the way the Shopify billing system works and how app charges are generated by the Shopify system, as clarified in the responses we provided in those reviews, and the Shopify resource shared above.

In conclusion, there is nothing suspicious about the installation or charges, as our app abides by Shopify's system. If you are concerned about an installation that was not performed by you, please, reach out to Shopify's support for clarifications about your store's activity logs.

Lastly, we'd like to clarify that we did not respond earlier to your review, as systemically, Shopify reviews are visible within two days after being submitted.

Yoast SEO is Great at what it's designed to do: help your store or site with Search engine optimization so you can rank higher on search engine pages. It also has AI that can write meta-descriptions, as well as Instagram and X descriptions. I highly recommend it for all of your SEO needs.

Thank you for sharing your review. We take all feedback seriously and see it as an opportunity to both improve and clarify things.

We can definitely imagine how it feels when your efforts do not bring the expected results. However, we want to address a fundamental misunderstanding:
while the Yoast SEO for Shopify app is a tool that can help optimize your store for several SEO factors, it's important to remember that a green SEO score doesn't always guarantee top rankings or increased traffic. Even if everything is perfectly optimized, if that has been done for not the proper focus keywords or too competitive ones, the results can be underwhelming, and that is not related to our app's efficiency.

In addition, there are several ranking factors, both on and off your website, that can impact your store's visibility and performance in search results, especially in a very competitive industry like the one you are in.

A couple of these factors that are not related or affected by our app, is mobile performance and accessibility, where we noticed your store has significant room for improvement. When these factors are not optimized with related tools, then ranking and traffic can be affected, as best SEO results require a holistic approach.

We have an article that dives deeper into this subject, but there are many other resources on SEO you may also refer: https://yoast.com/reasons-optimized-content-doesnt-rank/#utm_source=helpscout&utm_medium=email&utm_term=&utm_content=hs-l1&utm_campaign=support

Regarding the results you are getting on a different platform using a free product, also in those cases there are more factors that play role, for example, the longevity (e.g. experience, expertise, authority and trustworthiness) of that site and accumulated SEO value during its existence: https://yoast.com/what-is-e-e-a-t/

In all cases, our team will reach out to you via email and see how they can offer help and clarifications on your concerns, even on subjects that are not related to our app.

Lastly, we'd like to clarify that we did not respond earlier to your review, as systemically, Shopify reviews are visible within two days after being submitted.

This is a very good app for SEO and very helpful; it's clean, provides important features for search ranking, support is very helpful and quick to respond. But it's not quick fix, obviously, and requires a lot of manual labour to be utilized efficiently. If you have a lot of products, be prepared to spend time. A lot of time.

However, Shopify is really bad for organic SEO ranking so it's really vital to use an app like Yoast to increase sales. I noticed an overnight jump in increased traffic on our Google Console Account after spending basically an entire day re-writing meta tags in Yoast.

My only downvote would be the lack of option to automate product title to alt tags to save time, and the lack of information where to edit errors found in scheme and rich snippets, and so on. I also find the AI feature quite weak and useless in some respects; it should allow automated propagation of the product title to save on time. I also wish they had a different pricing structure as I find the price a little heavy for small stores. Maybe a one time price to fix issues could be an attractive option. I also don't like that the app leaves behind a lot of ghost code once you uninstall it, even after following the cleanup recommendations.

But, other from that it's a good app that I would recommend.

I have been looking for an SEO app to help with website structured data and found Yoast. Their customer support is excellent, and Sid gave a detailed demo on how to use this app and put away my worries about meta description. After the demo, he also sent me a lot of helpful materials. Thank you, Sid and Yoast. I will 100% recommend it.

I'm not a big leave a review person, but I love this plug in, makes everything so much faster and easier. The biggest party I love is the customer service. When they answer your question, they don't just give the answer, they qualify the answer and teach you the "why" of something.
Very awesome plug in and support.
