We've been using the Easy Image Sitemap app by William Belk on our Shopify store for an extended period, and we are thrilled with the results. With over 35,000 images, we initially struggled with getting a significant number of them indexed by Google. Before installing the app, only a small percentage of our images were indexed. After cleaning up our code, improving our page speed, and installing Easy Image Sitemap, our indexed images have gone to over 65%. There have been some issues and discrepancies in the use of the app, particular with updates and reports on indexing - but William was quick to respond to our support tickets and resolved the problems. Thank you, William, for your great support and awesome app! Easy 5-star rating from our end.
Wow thanks so much!

Insane usage fee. $200 per month. 18k images indexed first month. I deleted products, indexed images fell to 200, they still charged me $200. I wouldn't be mad about paying if other images were indexed to offset the deleted ones. (I have 360k images in total) but being charged $200 for 200 images, and I emailed customer service on April 18th (now it's the 22nd) with no response, I'm forced to give this app a one star.
We responded to your support request on April 18, the same day it was received. Your catalog had 222,982 images at the time the app was uninstalled. Your indexed images fell from 18k to 2k during the three months Image Sitemap was installed. This can be from all sorts of things, Google ranking changes, site issues like what looks to be duplicate rich snippets data on your product pages or the unconventional (and blocking) js loading libraries you are using, or image file name changes (e.g. we only track current images in your catalog, not old images, so a newly added image or filename change may take time for Google to index). I'm sorry you feel that you had a bad experience, but submitting 200k images to Google Search Console, and getting the indexing efficiency data, is a huge job. Perhaps you missed our response to your support message, but we could have looked at things in more detail to point you in the right direction.

The app is the only one that takes care of such a big matter. William is extremely competent and trustworthy regarding his expertise. The image sitemap is a big matter for SEO and this app is the only option if you want to play seriously with a Shopify store and compete with the bigger website developed with top SEO (Shopify as we know has some limits and the image sitemap is one of them)
Thank you!

I'm managing a t-shirt business (https://www.geeksngears.com). I must say that is very important for me to rank high in Google Image Search. That's why I installed this app. It's doing great. I would not like to do all of this manually. Great and fast support too. Reccommand.
Thanks! I'm very happy you've had a nice experience so far.
