I've been using flareAI for a few months and I'm happy with the results. Our store's Google visibility has increased by 86%! Their free "More Traffic to More Orders" conversion optimization feedback was incredibly helpful in improving our website.

My experience with Flair began promisingly four months ago. The impact wasn't monumental, yet the functionality was discernible, providing an initially satisfactory user experience. However, the trajectory took a negative turn from there, leading to concerns worth sharing. Flair requested an in-app star rating, to which I readily gave five stars, given the initial efficacy of the product. However, a few days later, a surprise awaited me in my inbox. A Flair representative emailed me, offering a month's free usage in exchange for a 5-star review on the Shopify app store. They even went as far as to provide a review draft which stated, "FlareAI has amplified our store's Google presence from 40 to 551 products, leading to a noticeable increase in organic sales and traffic." Now, to clarify a glaring discrepancy: my store's inventory consists of a mere six products, a far cry from the 551 figure quoted in the drafted review. This discrepancy indicates that other reviews on this page using the same script may be founded on falsehoods, significantly undermining the credibility of their testimonies. But it doesn't stop there. The offer of a "free month" triggered a realization that Flair had been charging me without my explicit awareness. Yes, I had approved a Shopify page, but it was presented as a requirement for the one-time fee they also mentioned. Subsequently, I discovered that they had been subtly billing me between $15 to $29 monthly, a fact I was oblivious to until now. Digging deeper, I discovered a somewhat concealed detail: Flair charges based on "sales attributable to FlairAI." In simpler terms, they levy a 1% fee per order if the customer navigates to the store via Google or other search engines, which happens to be a majority of the time. This model of operation is murky at best and poses serious questions about their business ethics. Regardless of how they respond to this review, the inconsistencies in their communication and dubious charging practices speak volumes. Their responses are often templated and involve grossly inflated figures. I strongly urge potential users to consider these factors before engaging with this application.
This is Jessica from the flareAI team. Appreciate you taking the time and effort to feedback, we are listening to customers’ feedback whether it is good or where we fall short. Here are my point-by-point responses: 1. Store URLs Yes, your store contains 16 products. But where flareAI helps you grow your organic presence is by optimizing for currency-language URLs. As you notice, you are offering your product pages with various currency-language options. flareAI submits your store's products, pages, blogs, and collections, including all currency-language URLs. So in total, it is 705 URLs. Out of these 705 URLs, when you added flareAI, only 40 URLs were found. As on May 10, 2023 flareAI has helped your store to get 569 URLs found on Google. 2. Your initial 5-star review on flareAI Dashboard: flareAI recommendation engine automatically sends a written 5-star review request to those who clicked on a 5-star rating on the flareAI dashboard. As a store owner, you know how important reviews are. It's common for users to give 1-star ratings, obtaining 5-star reviews can be more challenging but immensely valuable to our app's success. Plus! We are thankful to those who spend their valuable time sharing their experience with flareAI. It is similar to you as a Shopify merchant offering coupons and discounts to your customers :-) 3. Billing Approval Page We have mentioned in detail your store's billing components in the App approval page while you added flareAI. It is possible you have missed reading it. We replied to your email regarding the billing query on April 22, 2023. Appreciate your time and feedback, hope this clarifies Jessica

I am new at this, not a good computer person. Was not getting direct hits or search hits at all on search engines. I noticed this App on the Shopify App store. I installed the app and my google and other site hits went up 90%. I recommend this App to everyone. Easy to install and its nothing you have to do. ust sit back and notice your sells increase.

Its fake app In my experience, I did not find the FlareAI app to be useful, and I would not recommend it. I believe that it's better to use Google Merchant to manage your organic traffic. While using the app, I had some concerns about its value, and when I asked the customer support team about it, I didn't receive a satisfactory answer. One person Jessica M answered with vague responses. I also noticed some fake reviews on the app's site, which raised doubts about its credibility. If you're considering using this app, I recommend doing some research and trying it out before investing your money. Personally, I was not satisfied with the results, and I'm currently seeking a refund. Seriously you are fighting on useless service you just want to take people's money by providing no service so unethical thanks for putting my website in generic I might get more links from here as compared to your tool appreciate it. the reason people use you because they are new and all these fake review will not take you so far instead of fighting on review try to improve your service FOG score is useless your own score I have the screen shot for the same. Updates they keep mentioning why you sent 13 email and we responded since they are not able to answer same question even after 13 emails. I am more than happy to put the email for public consumption. they reached out to me and offered to refund the money if I take down this review @shopify support are you listening? Please let me know if I can send you the email. I said I will not do that it's not ethical. I simply asked them to accept mistake and apologies. But it seems really rude people , I am going to complain about this service to FTC every one who lost money should do the same if Shopify does not listen then FTC will investigate the fraud they are doing. they are trying to get money from the free traffic that every smb owners should get PLEASE DONT INSTALL THIS APP Do yourself a favor please don't use this service totally useless waste of time. just search on google you will see a lot of bad practice
Hi Rahul at https://indiashopping.io MP, India 452001. This is Jessica from flareAI team, Austin, TX. It is sad, you installed our SEO app for 8 days, sent 13 service requests, each of which we responded to within 1 business day, and now you rated us 1-star. Here's why we believe the rating is not reasonable: 1. You created an indiashopping.io very recently on 3-Mar-23 2. You added App on 15-Apr-23, today is 23-Apr-23. You emailed us 13 times in 8 days, and each time we responded with clarity, honesty, and politeness. 3. Even so, in 8 days your Found on Google score has increased from 3% to over 80+% in 8 days. 4. You are using another app for GMC, and needed help with fixing an issue with Manufacturer Part Number. As a courtesy, our team did help you with a suggestion to fix the issue at no charge. It is as if you wanted to give us a 1-star anyways. Jessica

Well done developers. It is obvious that they are trying. The app really helps to promote listings on the google search engine, 93% of my URLs can now be found on google. I would recommend that developers completely cancel the monthly subscription and introduce an increased commission on the sale of goods, not 1%, but for example 10-15%. Then the customers will remain and the income will grow smoothly and the company will develop. Or set any individual rates for the number of URLs. The app currently shows order conversions for all newly found URLs. It would be nice to see how much traffic this particular application is attracting. I don't mind sharing profits with the developers if it brings me income.

We are excited for you! - Jessica

WOW, I'm suddenly getting charged $200 usage fees for no reason. No way that 1% of sales you are kidding me here. Are you scamming people here? Good job you successfully scammed me. I'm calling my bank for fraud charges if you don't refund me.
Hi Anni, We have emailed you screenshots of the billing approved by you during the add app, but I want to respond here as well. Your store has a very large number of URLs 121,110. The pricing is due to the cost for us to process a large number of URLs. On 12/1/22 you added the app but requested a discount. Our product manager had extended a 3-month discount and informed you by email. In a few months, flareAI helped get 1672 URLs newly found on Google. In the month of March 2022, the coupon expired and Shopify's billing system charged the full price. Please note, all the charges are directly billed by Shopify (not us), and they will never bill more than the merchant’s pre-approved amount. Hope this clarifies. Jessica

good app I am happy with the thoroughness of customer service and the support I got from the team ...

I took a chance on this app, thought it might be good. A one time up front fee and 1% seemed fair... Boy was I fooled. I did the up front, one time charge, and now they're milking $50 from me each month. Never informed me of the price change. Can't show evidence of the sales that they claim they generated. Half the time the dashboard doesn't load. Nah fam, $200+ dollar out the door for as many views. Predatory bait and switch that targets small businesses. The 2 stars are cause at least I showed up on google, but I don't need an "ai" to do that.
Happy Holidays! Hope you are doing well! In the email sent today, we have included screenshots of the app listing and approval pages showing the app pricing. Our apologies that it was not clear to you. You added the app on September 11, 2022 and removed the app on December 23, 2022. During this period, your pages Found on Google have grown from 0 to 911 products. Growing sales from Google Search is a long game. But its performance is profitable & permanent. With unique quality product descriptions, nice images, and compelling offers every product newly found on Google potentially adds to the revenue. On average flareAI Shopify clients generate $204 for every product newly found on Google. As mentioned in the App Approval page (screenshot attached in an email to you today) and also in the "Billing Explained" section of your app dashboard, the billing is designed so your Shopify store and flareAI can grow together, by continually adding more powerful features & free sales channels. The 3 billing components: 1. One-time Setup: Covers cost of registering your store with 25+ API 2. 2nd Month Onwards Resource: When you add the app, from day one every product in your store consumes storage, processing, and submission resources. The minimum Resource charge is designed to cover the cost of resources consumed 3. Performance Incentive: flareAI worked to get a product newly found on a free sales channel, say Google Search. The product then received an order from this channel. flareAI earns 1% of the order total. We make it easy for you to monitor performance! Simply use the POP report in your flareAI dashboard As stated in the "Add approval" page before approving the page, we also display the assurance that the total (of 2 & 3 above) will never be more than your agreed maximum monthly. AI (machine learning): As one example of the usage, Google has a daily quota for submission. flareAI uses machine learning algorithm to forecast which product is likely to sell 8 weeks from now, and uses the inference to figure out which products to feed to Google today. We appreciate your understanding. Jessica M Austin, TX, United States

I don't think this actually does any work. They only charge . Only when I was running google ads the visitors shot up and Flare claimed and charged us for it. Now after stopping Google ads hardly any visitors so I really don't think this app is good for me.
Hi Varoon, Greetings from your team at flareAI. flareAI has helped your store increase Found on Google to 666+ URLs. We emailed you on December 16, 2022 with this information. While flareAI works to get your right products found on Google, sometimes the traffic growth is there but customers don't buy it because of pricing, or store design issues or service issues. Thank you for taking the time. - Jessica

They indexed more pages on my site which is great. The pricing and monthly charges are unclear that's not so great
We appreciate you taking the time to feedback. We are listening to our client's feedback, and have since added an easy pricing explainer video. The easy pricing is designed to fit a Shopify store in any stage of growth, from startups that want easy pricing to $1Million+ stores that want more profitable sales. By the way, Congratulations! Over 175 pages are now found on Google. Every new page found on Google on average represents $204 in sales lift.

They say they will charge $9.99 one time charge and 1% of flareAI sales from Free Sales Channels. But it charged me USD15.6 without any sales. I will uninstall this app.
Hope you are doing well! In the email, we have included screenshots of the app listing and approval pages showing the app pricing. Our apologies that it was not clear to you. You added app on November 16, 2022 and removed app on November 26, 2022, after 11 days. In 11 days, your Found on Google has grown to 40 products. Growing sales from Google Search is a long game.

Update: This app has less than 2 weeks to prove it's of some use before I delete it. They said they doubled my found on google score but I'm only getting 1-2 visitors a day, IF THAT! And half of them are from countries I don't even ship to. And no, I haven't received any sales. I would give it more time if I was at least breaking even each month. This app charges you way more than they say! The description says you only pay them 1% of their sales. I haven't received any sales from them but yet I have over $20 being charged to my account. Also be wary of the 5-star reviews you read, as they're giving people a free month in exchange for a good review. Their instant messaging doesn't work, and they don't respond to emails. Hopefully, you heed my warning.
Our apologies, your message of 21-Nov-22 was found in the spam folder. We have since reviewed your request and are emailing you a response today. In 51 days since adding flareAI, your Found-on-Google has grown from 40% to 77%. With unique quality product descriptions, nice images, and compelling offers every product newly found on Google potentially adds to the revenue. We have emailed you screenshots of the app listing and approval pages showing the app pricing. Our apologies that it was not clear to you. I am sorry you believe the 5-star reviews we have received are fake. At flareAI, like others in the Shopify Apps community, we work very hard to ensure our client's success. As a store owner, you will recognize that human nature is to go out of their way to give a 1-star review if a customer is even remotely unhappy. But it is hard for any store or app owner to ask customers to make time to provide a 5-star review. So we thank our happy customers for taking the time. Almost on a daily basis, my team receives unsolicited emails from companies and individuals claiming to own 100s of Shopify stores and offering us “good” reviews. It would be against our company mission and individual conscience to accept this kind of fake review. We appreciate your understanding. Jessica M Austin, TX, United States
