Extremamente ruim, instalamos para testar e decidimos não comprar, deixou a vitrine da loja sem imagens, extragou todo o e-commerce. Inacreditável!!!! Merecem um processo!
( Free SEO and speed optimization included ) Although it is written in their free service, there is no such feature. I tried it and my site speed dropped from 45 to 38.
You google search result will crash suddenly after install the app. They provide no help at all. Absolutely Useless. What make me leave this review is that I paid $348 annually and they downgraded me to free plan with on reason. what?
We're truly sorry that your plan was unexpectedly downgraded. We've already restored your Pro plan in the app – could you please check and let us know if everything looks correct on your end? This was not something we ever intended, and we deeply apologize for the inconvenience. Our team is currently investigating the cause to make sure this doesn't happen again. We would never want to take your payment without delivering the service you signed up for. As for the issue with your search results, we understand how concerning that must feel. You installed the app in 2023, and we couldn’t find any previous messages from you mentioning this. Even though it's unlikely the app caused the drop, we take your concern seriously and are more than willing to help you investigate. Please reply to our email so we can look into this together.
Support is excellent but the app was not helpful. Initially our Page Speed was as high as 60 for the mobile version our site but later it fell to 27. We contacted them and they made a few changes here and there but could not take it beyond 40. We were told to remove certain apps and removed the non-essential ones but didn't make much of a difference. I am thankful to Emily and her team for all the help and support, but we can't keep continue to pay for an app that doesn't works.
My speed score plummeted over 10 points after I installed this app. When I told this to support they answered that their "speed up features are only available on paid plan". I didn't need speed up features before this.

It seemed to slow down my page speed scores but the bigger problem is now I'm having to take time to manually remove leftover code that wasn't removed by the uninstall function. Now I have to figure out how to remove this line of code: Liquid error (layout/theme line 8): Could not find asset snippets/avada-seo.liquid
Hi, Thank you for your review. Our SEO expert has contacted you and is helping improve the Store speed. Kindly keep in touch so that we can assist you better.

We have sent you a follow-up email. Please kindly check your mailbox to get our update and solution. Thank you so much for your generous support! I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

I initially tried a different Avada app and was disappointed, but decided to give the company another shot. Initially, things seemed promising, but then my website's speed scores plummeted to below 30%. When I reached out for support, they requested access to my store and attributed the issue to changes in Google's speed policies. Despite claiming to work on the issue for over a month, there was no improvement, and they continued to blame Google. Moreover, they never took the initiative to contact me unless I reached out first. Based on my experience, I can't recommend Avada products. The service was lacking, to say the least. ps: I have used this app more than 3 months, but they asked me to remove it before removing the code.
Hi, Thank you for your review. We would like to acknowledge that there have been recent changes in Google Page Speed that have impacted our service.

IT MESSED UP ALL OF MY FIRST IMAGE OF MY PRODUCTS! CUSTOMERS CAN'T SEE ALL THE IMAGES, ALL THE PRODUCTS BECAME UNAVAILABLE TO ALL MARKETPLACES!!! ESPECIALLY GOOGLE!!! I WILL SUE THIS COMPANY IF THEY CAN'T FIX THE ISSUES!! PLEASE HELP ME REPORT THIS COMPANY TO SHOPIFY!!!!!
This app is a waste of money. It doesn't work as described, it duplicated photos of products, and my website is not faster and optimised. I asked for help many many times, no solutions, no answer at all! Be aware!
Using this application for more than a year. Until now everything worked perfect but on the beginning of 2024 the application started doing too many troubles. For the last 4 months I have spent too many times and money because of the application bugs, and it made me tired and feel fucked up. The last update of the application is the worst I ever saw. Nothing works and even while I tried to make customized changes and upgrade to the entrepreneurship plan for almost 100$ monthly - too many functions are not working, and application is not performing at all. Must mention that except for the money i lost for the subscription, except for the time I lost for trying to fix those bugs with the support - the application broken our site at all. The whole theme lost.
Sitemap doesn't work. they don't fix anything. they say they are sending to support to fix and don't do anything. Its been four days. a complete waste of time and insult. Horrible !!!!!!!! Insulting to not even email an update.
Hello We’re sorry to hear you did not have a great experience with our app. Since we haven't had a chance to communicate before, please let us check the issue for you. I have just sent an email to your mailbox. Please help me check our message and solution to remove the app code. Many thanks for your collaboration and we hope to sort it out for you soon Best regards, Avada Support Team
Not at all helpful. Decreased the speed score & even the basic things are under pro plan which is not at all good for starting stores

they give you a coupon code and they charge you all the amount later. Also, nothing is running better in my shop with this app! NOT recommend!
Complete scammers. Everything is set up in such a way that after choosing the 14-day trial period, you thought that all the features of the pro version were still unavailable to you. So you switched to the pro version right away. The very first function I tested, which is adding alt tags to images, doesn't work correctly. Despite clear settings indicating not to overwrite the current text, it still overwrites it. The support team is not helpful at all and says it's supposed to be that way. After just 3 minutes of using it, I asked for a refund. We'll see.
Hi, Thank you so much for taking time to leave us a review. As promised, we are willing to refund the app charge which was triggered by an accident. We are genuinely delighted to learn that the situation has been clarified and we hope that our diligent efforts have showcased our empathy and sincerity in resolving this matter. If you need any further help, please feel free to ask Best regards, Avada Support Team
Not happy with recent support for 1-2 weeks. Team trying to buy more time and juggling around. Hope to get resolution.
After deleting the App, i still find tons of files from Avada.. why cant you delete your whole app? It was not satisfiying for me.
Hi, Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback on our app as it helps us improve the app better for you and other users. On behalf of our team, I am sincerely sorry for the inconvenience you experienced when using our app! Before you uninstall the app, you can definitely remove all our app assets from your shop automatically here: https://prnt.sc/1sfRxkFlfpYy You can also manually remove app assets by following our instruction: https://help.avada.app/seo/what-do-i-need-to-do-after-uninstalling-seo-app/ There are cases when most SEO apps are uninstalled, the app can't auto-remove its code snippet because it no longer has access to your theme files. Like other SEO apps, after being uninstalled, the code still remains on your website because of some features like meta tags or structured data which inserts snippets into your theme. Therefore, we need to do an extra step to edit theme (file liquid template) and get them removed. We have sent you a follow-up email. Please kindly check your mailbox to get our update and solution. Thank you so much for your generous support! I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. Best regards, Avada Support Team
Be aware and stay away! We installed this app and tried automatic improvement for page speed as well as some other automatic functions. The next day our SEO ranking dropped with over 2000 positions down, cathatstrophical for us and after contact with Avada they claim that this is not something that has to do with the changes the app did. We did no other changes and our SEO score is still at this bad level even after trying to invert the changes made. I wish we would have stayed far away from this app.
Hi, We are sincerely sorry for the inconvenience you experience when using our service. While accidents do happen, it's our job to own them by responding quickly and doing everything in our power to help you solve the issue. As mentioned in the feedback, the ranking dropped 1000 positions in your keywords after one day of using our app. I would love to ask for more information to investigate the issue wisely. 1/ What target keywords do you see a decrease in the ranking? What pages(s) are you referring to? We appreciate it if you let us know which tool and how you measure the ranking. The more information we have, the faster we can do to find out the root of the issue. 2/ Our app has two main benefits: optimize store speed (instantly) and ranking (long term). That said, rarely, the ranking drops badly after a night due to an application installed. Note that it takes 3-5 days for Google to index any change made on your site. There are still possible causes, and it is great to have your collaboration to find out exactly the culprit! We are seeking your help to do a full audit to diagnose the problem and repair the process to ensure you won't have to go through anything like this again. I'm confident your next experience with our employees will be up to the high standard that you've come to expect from Avada. We have sent you a follow up email. Please check your email box for details Thank you Avada Support Team
This app can not handle the number of images it says it can and the support team has been totally inadequate in assisting with the problem. They say it is because of Shopify API limitations, if Shopify has limitations their app has the same limitations and they should not be making these false claims.
Dear Tony, We're genuinely sorry that you are experiencing this unexpectedness with our app and we would like to apologize for any discomfort this brought you. We want you to know that we're here to assist you. We are investigating your site and working our best to find out the best solution to get the issue resolved and earn back your trust in our service. We did send you a follow-up email about this, please kindly check that in your email inbox. I look forward to hearing from you soonest!
UPDATE: After one year our speed has dropped dramaticaly (halfed), we contacted the support several times, either they did not know or asked for some time. What we granted every time. But they did not come back to us as promised or asked just for more time. We were fed up and uninstalled the app. We had a very good support at the beginning, but lately this was the worst customer support exchange I ever had. Comment from 18.Oct 2022: My SEO score went from 72 to 94 in a few hours, their client service is excellent and very keen to help you out ! I did not expect for that price to have such a good service.
Tried out the app and decided that it is not for me. Uninstalled the app and deleted some code based on the guide provided. However, there are still remaining files and code in the theme.liquid file that I have to restore the old code before the installation to clean them up.
Hi, Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback on our app as it helps us improve the app better for you and other users. On behalf of our team, I am sincerely sorry for the inconvenience you experienced when using our app! There may have some pieces of code left on the site even you use the automatic option. In fact, after uninstalling almost all Shopify SEO apps, the code still remains on your website. That is because of how some features like meta tags or structured data from most SEO apps, which inserts snippets into your theme. Therefore, we need to do an extra step to edit theme (file liquid template) and get them removed. We have sent you a follow-up email. Please kindly check your mailbox to get our update and solution.
