Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

We’d like to clarify a couple of points, as there seems to be some misunderstanding.

Yoast SEO for Shopify does not rely on Shopify’s native CSV system. The app provides its own CSV template for bulk edits, but bulk editing is optional. In most cases, we recommend a gradual approach, starting with your most important products and collections.

Regarding your point about recommendations, the app does provide actionable guidance directly within each page. However, this depends on setting a focus keyphrase first. Without that, the app doesn’t know what you’re trying to optimize for, so it can’t generate scores or suggestions. Once this is in place, many merchants find the recommendations helpful as they guide improvements step by step.

This isn’t something the tool can reliably decide automatically, as choosing the right keyword depends on your products and how you want customers to find you. In practice, fully automating this would often lead to poor or irrelevant targeting, which can negatively impact SEO results rather than improve them.

Also, due to how Shopify works, this analysis runs in the browser and only after a keyphrase is added and the page is opened in the Yoast interface. That’s why pages may initially appear as “not analyzed.”

Even before that, the app is still applying technical SEO improvements such as structured data, meta output, and indexing controls.

We understand this may not match expectations if you’re looking for a fully automated solution. Yoast SEO is designed as a guided tool that supports you step by step, rather than fully automating decisions for you.

We will also follow up with you directly to provide some additional context and clarification, which may help you decide whether the app is the right fit for your needs.

We appreciate your feedback and are happy to help.
