Bleep review for BOOSTER SEO & IMAGE OPTIMIZER

1 / 5

Oct. 8, 2024

Not impressed at all with this. The app is extremely simplistic in reality. By "fixing alt texts" for example, all it does is duplicate your page title across all images for a product. This duplication would just get you down ranked. It would at least have been useful to add context or some kind of structure to the auto generated alt texts, but control is limited. It also messed up my meta title and descriptions which I had written myself for every one of my 500+ products. Downgrading my plan undid some of the damage, but I still have a lot to fix now. Support is also laughable. Very unimpressed with this simplistic and overpriced app. Not a scam, but not far off.

Hi James, Darrel here from Booster SEO. I want to sincerely apologize for the issues you've encountered and thank you for your feedback. I understand the frustration with the app's AutoPilot feature not automating everything. Just to clarify, what our app does is use your Product title as the Meta title and Product description as the Meta description by default or if you use the "Let the app decide" option on the AutoPilot page. The idea is that you already have the proper keyword in your Product Title and Description, the main keyword will be your Product Title(since your product title should have the best keyword that describes your product) and in the event that keyword is not in your meta description then the app will let you know that it needs to be added on your product description manually so that it'll be updated in the meta description coming from our app. Our app does do a lot automatically through its AutoPilot features, but some SEO involves keyword-optimizing the visible content of your pages (such as your product descriptions), and our app never does that automatically, for two reasons:​ - Google is quite good at detecting (and penalizing) when an app has automatically generated page content, so our app avoids it. - As an expert in your industry, you are the best judge of what keywords are best and how they should be written into your content, so our app gives you guidance on where keywords are missing but leaves the writing up to you. ​ Regarding our app's alt-text feature just using the Product title, just like with the meta title and meta description, by default the app will use the Product title and your Store's name for the alt tags. It is designed this way since the best practice for alt tags is to describe the image in three to five words that include your focus keywords, and that keyword will come from your product title. ​ As you can see, the app relies heavily on your product title for keywords since the product title should be the keyword or contains the keyword that best describes your product. To learn about the most streamlined process for optimizing keywords in our app, and for a more in-depth introduction to keywords, see our guide How to Optimize Keywords for SEO in our Help Site which we sent to you via email. ​ If you don't want to use the app's default setting for alt tags, meta titles, and meta descriptions, it does provide an option to use other templates. The guide was also sent to you via email. ​ We would like to extend our apologies for any inconvenience caused and as mentioned above, we sent you an email to properly address your concerns with our app. ​ We look forward to hearing back from you. Best regards, Darrel
