After 4 month 22 out of 450 images was indexed!! Really make sure your images are index when using this app. A total ripoff. Regarding the suppliers try to find excuses to why the app didn’t work. “ This customer installed my app across several international sites that were all submitting identical duplicate image content to Google.” This is totally wrong! We have to languages and and a modern app should be able to handle. The images look the same but all file names has been changed the correct way according to Googles guidelines. So if they find a bug or not is not important. 22 out of 450 images was index during 4 months!! Also, We use Shopify and an Shopify approved theme. If the app can’t handle Shopify approved themes I guess they need to bring it up with them!

This customer installed my app across several international sites that were all submitting identical duplicate image content to Google. I spent a great deal of time communicating and researching what their potential issues might be and suggesting solutions. For example, not using javascript redirects by default on their most trafficked international domain, proper use of html lang tags, etc. It is unfortunate that I also found an issue where Google's API will not return accurate data for url's using the special ö character. The customer was notified and proactively offered a refund. The customer then re-installed the app on the same domain with the special characters some five months later with the same expectations. The customer was proactively offered a refund on BOTH occasions. Sorry it didn't work out, but the final message was the same — regardless of my app's inability to pull accurate data for the edge case of using a URL with a special character, the customer was doing things that could be harmful to their SEO, and that they should consult with an SEO expert to try to work through the issues and validate their progress manually. SEO is a marathon, not a sprint. Regardless of the issue with the special character (which is ultimately my fault for not catching the issue sooner), my app is not a panacea for greater structural SEO issues. https://medium.com/hackernoon/why-isnt-google-indexing-my-images-77da7c52383 https://medium.com/hackernoon/lessons-from-submitting-500k-images-from-shopify-stores-to-google-for-indexing-1b45e6a3d9ed
