I installed Yoast when I first started with Shopify. It did not help my shopify store in any way that I could identify - so I uninstalled it. When I uninstalled the app, payments were no longer being withdrawn from my account. Then, about a year later, Yoast was mysteriously installed again into my shopify store. I did NOT install this app. I was charged many months for this app ( my fault as i was not paying attention to my shopify bill closely) I was paying for nothing. I then uninstalled again and contacted Yoast. Yoast claim that they would not be able to install the app in my store - they would not refund either even though it was obvious that I did not use their app for the many months i was charged. They claimed it was shopify's issue ? And that there was nothing that they could do. I call bullsh*t. Reading through the other reviews, there is an issue with Yoast charging shopify store owners after they uninstall their app - so I am not alone. No refund, they take no responsibility for an obvious glitch with their app. I DO NOT RECOMMOND THIS APP. Not only did it not work with improving SEO, it charged me hundreds of dollars AFTER i uninstalled. They will now follow up this review (as they did on previous reviews of the same issue ) by blaming me or shopify for their app being 'myteriously' installed without my permission. Poor customer service on top of all of this. Buyer beware. Also, please report issues with this app to Shopify admin to make them aware of potential scam like issues with their app.

Thank you for sharing your review. As mentioned in our response to your email about this charge on October 28, unfortunately, this is not related to our app but solely relies on the Shopify charging system and terms: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/your-account/manage-billing/your-invoice/apps#subscriptions which apply to all subscription-based apps available in the Shopify App Store. More information about Shopify app charges can also be found in this Shopify help article: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/your-account/manage-billing/your-invoice/apps As you uninstalled our app soon after the beginning of a new billing cycle, Shopify included a charge for it in their invoice, as it identified the app as still in use for an additional monthly subscription. We understand this is simply a confusion related to the billing dates, and that is why our team offered to help you at that point but received no reply from you. Therefore our team will soon reach out to you to clarify things and help you with this matter. Please make sure to check your inbox and respond in order to resolve this the soonest possible. Lastly, we'd like to clarify that we did not respond earlier to your review, as systemically, Shopify reviews are visible within two days after being submitted.

I have been looking for an SEO app to help with website structured data and found Yoast. Their customer support is excellent, and Sid gave a detailed demo on how to use this app and put away my worries about meta description. After the demo, he also sent me a lot of helpful materials. Thank you, Sid and Yoast. I will 100% recommend it.

AVOID AT ALL TIMES THIS APP WON’T EVEN PUT OUT SCHEMA.ORG MARKUPS, ABSOLUTE WASTE OF MONEY AND MISLEADING ADVERTISEMENT FROM WHAT SUPPOSED TO BE TRUSTWORTHY AND TRANSPARENT COMPANY! Please note: if you tried to reply with your standard BS, please expect me editing the review. You have no explanation for this at all!
