Test Valley Models.com review for SEO Doctor for Search Engines

1 / 5

July 13, 2021

I have been using this APP for a couple of days, and to be honest I'm still trying to figure out how it helps my SEO. In Autopilot mode, it simply grabs your Collection / Product title, and creates a new SEO title from that, it also adds your site address to the SEO title eg:Test Valley Models, Com, this is completely unnecessary because the site URL appears under the SEO title anyway. Then to add more misery, it appears to truncate your SEO description to less than the allowed 320 characters, in fact it truncates it to about 200, in so doing it actually truncates your SEO descriptions, which is BAD for SEO. None of this is reversible automatically, you have to do it manually, as I am doing now, with over 3000 products to check. The only truth that the owner tells you about this APP is that it take 12 weeks for Google to detect the changes, that part is true, which means if you buy the Pro-Version and wait to see the effect it has, you've paid him $45. It also gives you 12 weeks to change everything back so that you don't go plummeting down the rankings! Anyone who installs this APP needs to be made aware that it is useless, and in no way will it improve your SEO. My advice is to go to YouTube and look for the latest Google advice on what to do, use this APP at your peril !!!! This APP is so bad Shopify should remove from the APP store. Graham Walters testvalleymodels.com 29/6/21 Despite numerous emails, screenshots and verbal instructions, it's like talking to a brick wall. If I could reduce the rating to zero stars I would. Shopify should really remove this APP, it's worse than useless. Anyone giving this more than 2 stars must either be friends of the developers, or being paid to do so. Please DO NOT install this APP !! I am not responding to your emails, for various reasons. What your APP did automatically, cannot be undone automatically. I had several SEO people look at my snippets after your APP had done it's work, and they all advised me to "uninstall" the app, and set about correcting the mess it has made of my SEO snippets. I, too, have had all my products removed from Google Merchant because of issues with this APP. As I have said before, install this APP at your own risk, IMO these people do know what they are doing, Shopify should delete this APP. It is useless. It is going to cost me over $400 to sort this mess out. Graham Walters 08-07-2021 RE: Update 2. Now I am being accused of lying, this is really not acceptable. I am unable to post an image of what this APP has done to my snippets, and Snippet SEO titles. Whilst it may be possible to alter what this APP does BEFORE you hit the Autopilot button, there is no way to undo it, only manually, after you have hit the Autopilot button. The App does try to add Test Valley Models.com to every snippet title, but because of Shopify's character limit is 75 character, it often gets truncated, to as little as Te ! Which is BAD for SEO. It also truncates the SEO description, to mid-sentence and mid-word, which again is BAD for SEO. One again, I say to you, use this APP at your peril, I am still trying to work my way through over 2000 products, manually editing the SEO title and snippets.

Thanks for the review, it helps us improve the product. Meanwhile, the problem you are facing can be solved by simply changing auto pilot setting which our support team has already provided via email. I have also sent a separate email about your issue. I would really appreciate if we can continue our conversation and come to a solution. This is an issue which can be easily solved. Please reply to our emails, we are here to help. If you need a refund we are happy to issue that too. Also note that Shopify has limits on SEO characters, we can't go beyond a limit which the platform has imposed. Update: Graham - this is really unfortunate that you have stopped responding to our emails, we are here to help. If you unaware about SEO limitations of Shopify platform we are here to teach you that too. Update2: Some information in this review is completely inaccurate. For example putting the URL in SEO snippet - we don't do that. The customer was confused with the URL present in the SERP preview. I really hope that the customer will figure this out at some point and come back to us :-) Update3: Once again we never put the URL and didn't call you lier. Its a pity that we have to communicate via reviews as you are not responding to our emails. We can help you clear all SEO meta automatically and restore it like before. Email us, we are here to help :-)
