It wont even let me set up an account. It wont even clear the menu. Not helpful if it doesn't work.
Hi there, I've just read your review of our app, Plug in SEO. I can't find any helpdesk ticket/s from you. We're very happy to help on email to all of our users. Please reach out back to us and we will assist you with your concern, set up our app, and run an SEO check - free of charge!

We've had this app for a month, nothing but issues. Shopify recommended this app after our previous SEO app was banned from the app store. The main functions we needed were passing along Structured Data to google, we're a month in and *maybe* have that figured out now. We also noticed that once the app was installed folks started finding old, deleted products on google and bringing them to 404 pages. We NEVER had 404 issues, now we have had thousands in a fw short weeks. The biggest issue was their support email rejects all emails--their listed support email [email protected] rejects any emails. The email [email protected] must be used which is not listed here, but they will respond back from [email protected] and you will not be able to have a conversation/thread with them. The only way I was able to open a thread of communication with them was by asking Shopify Support to start an email chain. But not even Shopify will give me their true contact email. Honestly surprised they are allowed to have an App without a help email. I have no idea how this app has 5 stars. I am also adding here that it's called Plug in SEO in the app store, but when you download the app the title is Plus in SEO "BETA" which would make sense why it's not working perfectly.
Hi Steve, We strive to provide the best experience we can for our customers, thank you for your feedback. The way it works for us is that if someone visits a 404 page, a request is made to our server (because of pluginseo snippets) we only record the links and it is not possible for our app to create new URLs or to change settings that would create/lead to these 404 landing pages. As for our support email address you could reach us at [email protected] and/or [email protected] (both are legitimate email addresses), nevertheless we've run tests and also asked assistance from Shopify Support to check on it. Best, PIU Team

After over two years of use, customer support became increasingly unwilling to help with the problem and eventually uninstalled
Thank you for your feedback, Henry! We’re sorry to hear about your experience and that our staff didn’t meet the level of service we strive for. But sometimes we needed more clarity on the issue and what you're trying to do and what isn't working. Some screenshots would be useful too. With that, we should be able to advise. These situations don’t happen too often, but when they do, it’s frustrating for everyone involved. You may contact our Product Manager at [email protected] so we can discuss your concerns in more detail. We can assure you that our goal is to always provide excellent customer service with every email inquiry. Best, PIU Team

This application is one of the worst, it is very inconvenient to use. and there are no training materials in use. The support is terrible, they weigh it down for a long time and not to the questions that they asked
Hi there, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry that your experience was not an amazing one. Our Forever Free Plan version will allow you to check your site for important SEO, Speed, and Blog issues that could stop you from performing well in search engines, and there's a fortnightly check email that's free too. The free version can still help you correctly optimize your content when adding products and writing blog posts. We've provided the how to fix instructions in the ‘Fix this yourself’ section of our app and also in our FAQ page. You also have the option to upgrade to Plug in SEO Plus or Pro with a monthly fee. It's a set of SEO enhancements out-of-the-box and tools for you to manage your SEO effectively. Best, PIU Team

Péssimo! Paga-se para ter acesso às ferramentas de forma manual e pouco intuitiva! Paguei a subscrição na expectativa que teria acesso a outras ferramentas 1 hora após estava a removê-la! $30 para o lixo!
Hi Geral, We are sorry to hear about your disappointing experience with our app Plug in SEO. Plug in SEO Plus and Pro plan gives you a bunch of automatic SEO improvements to your shop along with tools and enhancements so you can manage your SEO yourself going forward. If you're looking for something more like a done-for-you service, we offer SEO fix packages where the expert will go in, fix the SEO issues, and optimize your shop. Our SEO fix jobs and Plug in SEO Plus monthly options are completely separate and optional but very complementary to each other. A lot of customers start out with Plug in SEO and then purchase one-off fix packages if they need more help in specific areas. Best, PIU Team

We purchased the "Premium SEO Package" on Feb 19, 2022. Our website has over 100 products. We understood that in this package they will only do 10 products and that's fine. But even so in these 10 products they did not do Product Meta Title, Product SEO descriptions and Alt Image Text. Then they gave us 10 suggestions for Product H2 Subheadings and they had used a few of them for the 10 products they did. Since we have over 100 products, we then asked them to give us a few more suggestions. Today is March 14 and they have not replied us at all until now. So we suggest not to buy any additional package from this company. Maybe you hire an expert to help you is cheaper and we are sure "BETTER"!!
--UPDATE-- Hi Henry, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry that your experience was not an amazing one. We strive to provide the best experience we can for our customers. Please feel free to reach out to our Project Manager with any further comments, concerns, or suggestions you have so that we can make your experience a better one. We would love to make things right if you could give us another chance. Best Wishes, PIU Team ------ Hi Henry! Just wanted to let you know how much your review means to us, thank you for your kind words. We’re grateful that we had the opportunity to serve you. Best, PIU Team

In my opinion it a funnelling, not an app. They want you to install it to put you on plan. I also left with SEO fields inside my theme I cant get rid off after uninstall. thanks
Hi there, Plug in SEO monthly subscription gives you a bunch of automatic SEO improvements to your shop along with tools and enhancements so YOU can manage your SEO yourself going forward. Our SEO fix jobs and Plug in SEO Plus monthly options are completely separate and OPTIONAL but very complementary to each other. A lot of customers start out with Plug in SEO and then purchase one-off fix packages if they need more help in specific areas. After uninstalling a Shopify app there may be code still leftover from it in your theme. That's often not the fault of the developer, it's the way Shopify works. Unfortunately when you delete the app in your Shopify admin the app's access to your theme is immediately removed: there's no opportunity to clean up leftover theme changes. I've sent you a direct message, please get back to us and we will remove our left-over code or you may check the steps here: https://help.pluginuseful.com/article/1988-how-do-i-uninstall-plug-in-seo-plus Best, PIU Team

We installed this app and the next day ou ranking in Google was completely wiped off. Traffic is down 25% and it will reduce further if we don't take action. sent emails after emails and given them access of admin and till now no reply. Very bad customer support service and very disappointing to be in this position. Shopify pls look this is very dangerous for the business.
Hi Aman, Concerned to hear about this since we’re normally known for our prompt replies and exceptional attention to detail. I just wanted to clarify what we offer with Plug in SEO Plus. Our app does not make on-page changes that would impact traffic. You may reach us anytime at [email protected]. Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback with us – we take all reviews seriously and will use them in our continuous improvement efforts! Best, PIU Team

That will ruin your code source and create new code files, insert new line, comment old code, slow your website, you need to unstill the app and do a lot of manual changes; try a manual change to your pages, img by adding titles, meta, keywords, H1,H2,H3,Alt, read more about SEO best practices, txt vs image %,.. Good luck for the team behind, you're doing a good job, but this is not for who need to own his website, lazy people or who don't have time to read SEO may need to try such apps,

Hi Adam, Thank you for sharing an honest review of your experience with us. Our app doesn’t include any client-side code (apart from the broken links checker which only runs on your 404 pages). This means it runs entirely on the Shopify server, taking advantage of the built-in caching that comes with Shopify. After uninstalling a Shopify app there may be code still leftover from it in your theme. That's often not the fault of the developer, it's the way Shopify works. Making any code change to your site unfortunately isn't as simple as copy and pasting a snippet into your HTML, so before starting you should: - have a working knowledge of editing HTML, forming HTML tags correctly, and a little bit of CSS skill - be able to use your web browser to view the source and identify the final page title, meta description, etc. - know a bit about editing templates on your platform. If that's Shopify it's Liquid you'll use - make a backup and be able to reverse any change you make We apologize that our app didn’t satisfy your expectations. Our customers’ happiness is always our highest priority. You may send us an email at [email protected] / [email protected] if you want to learn more about our app. Best, PIU Team

Why you guys charged 20 monthly just to let me know what it needs to get fixed in my store's SEO. Then, you want to charge me 8 to 18 times more for to assist to fix problems with my store SEO?. I'm really disappointed with you guys and your App.
Hi there, Thank you for your feedback. We use this feedback to make sure that our services are nothing less than the best for all our clients and we ensure that our Plug in SEO app is of top standards.

i installed this app and you guys are charging 20$ when you have a 14 day free trail and free (forever) plan why?
Hi there, We're sorry to hear about your bad experience. We’re normally known for our exceptional attention to detail and transparency. We've sent you a direct message regarding the steps on how to be on our Forever Free Plan and you could also check the steps on our FAQ page: https://help.pluginuseful.com/article/1953-how-do-i-install-the-free-edition-of-plug-in-seo Please feel free to reach out if you have more questions.

This app immediately prompted me to agree to a monthly subscription of $20USD, or it exits you out of the app, despite saying they have a 'free forever' plan AND a 14-day free trial. I do not recommend an app that tries to force you into subscribing to their paid plan before they even allow users to try it out. The plan details are pretty misleading.
Hi there, I hope you are well and thank you for reaching out. thanks for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry your experience didn’t match your expectations. Our installation process changed a little bit ~ I apologize for the confusion... We've sent you a direct email for the steps. With any further comments, concerns, or suggestions you wish to share.

Reached out to customer service about the error "Cannot Connect to Search Console An unexpected error occured, refresh to try again." on Wed, Jun 30 2021 and while they did contact us back it's now Jul 22 and the problem has not been fixed. We are on the Paid plan but if this continues much longer it may be time to switch to another SEO plugin.
Hi Derrick, I’m so sorry we let you down. We should have caught this the first time, but we didn’t. We’ve taken your feedback and the feedback of other reviewers to heart. We’re in the process of making some major changes. We have our Senior Devs looking into your Search Console. We will also get in touch with you via email. Best, PIU Team

Hopefully it works. I will see results in a few days only can wait and see. A bit hard to set up. Still getting errors

Broke our theme upon install. Not sure how to fix it. Don't have time to reach out to the developer and wait for a response w/o tackling the fix ourselves. It injected some gibberish into the announcement bar and our favicon is also gone.

Hi there! Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us. We want you to feel comfortable sharing good or bad news. From the day you upgraded, you have a free 14-day trial. If you don't uninstall the app you will be charged after the 14-day free trial. The app is billed through Shopify and on your Shopify invoice, so we don't directly charge your card. Shopify charges you on the first day of your subscription to an application, so even if you cancel 2 days or even just 1 day after your 14-day free trial expired, the charge will still appear on your invoice. Upon checking you installed June 7 and uninstalled June 23 - 2 days after your free trial expired We have sent you a private email. Please reply and we will sort this out for you. Best, PIU Team

You have charged me a fee of 20 dollars when you start the trial period you offer, it does not seem honest to charge without offering all the accurate information, I am not enjoying your service but the charge is done. It's not a good practice to attract customers, I think. I will certainly not use this app again.
May 21, 2021
just got it. provide some detail about what you did or did not enjoy about using this app. Your comments can help other merchants decide whether to use this app. how
Hi Kristina, We thank you for your review. We see that you've just recently installed our app. Do you have any concerns at the moment? Hope to hear from you soon. Cheers, PIU Team

This app did not prove to be super helpful for us. Every SEO issue that the app flagged led us to a dead end - with an invitation to PAY their "expert" to help fix it for us. This app doesn't seem to provide a clear and intuitive way to resolve SEO issues on your own. I want an SEO app that delivers spot-on search results, without digging into my wallet for extended add-on services. There are better SEO apps out there IMHO. We're switching our store over to the Sherpas Smart SEO app which makes it simple for end-users to tweak SEO on their own. --- But do your own research to confirm... Read the Shopify reviews for any SEO app you see in the app store; then visit the store that posted the review, copy a line of their data, and do a Google search. It's pretty easy to establish whether an SEO app delivers on its promises. Not saying Plugin SEO is bad, I just feel there are better options and more user-friendly tools out there.
