Proof-Reading-Service.com review for SEOLab: All in #1 SEO — AI SEO
Very disappointing experience. After installing this app, it overwrote the SEO titles and meta descriptions across our Shopify store without us realising the extent of the changes. These were carefully optimised pages that had been established for years. Following these changes, we experienced a significant decline in our organic search traffic. Restoring the original SEO information across a large website is now a major and time-consuming task. We also noticed other very concerning and unusual activity during the period in which the app was installed. GA4 began reporting visits to strange pages/URLs that do not exist on our website. During the same period, we also received a suspicious call from someone claiming to be from our bank and asking for personal information and access to our bank account. We cannot establish whether this call was connected to the app, so we are not suggesting that it was, but the timing added considerably to our concerns. Importantly, it has now been more than 24 hours since we uninstalled the app, and the non-existent/fake pages that had been appearing in GA4 have stopped showing up. We are continuing to monitor our analytics closely. An SEO optimisation app should not make widespread changes to existing metadata without making the consequences extremely clear and providing a straightforward way to restore the previous values. I strongly recommend that merchants with an established website and existing Google rankings are extremely careful before allowing this app to make bulk or automatic SEO changes. Based on our experience, I would also recommend closely monitoring GA4 and other website activity both during and after installation. One further point concerns us. The app is offered free of charge, and it is not clear to us what the company's business model is or how the service is funded. After posting this review, we received numerous emails from managers and support staff regarding our experience. Given the level of support and follow-up being provided for a free app, we would appreciate greater transparency about how the company generates its revenue and funds the service.
