Yoast SEO ‑ Store optimization
The reviews for this Shopify App, Yoast SEO, are quite mixed. While many users praise its ease of use, effectiveness, and helpful customer service, there are significant concerns raised as well. Some users experienced issues with the app causing problems with their website theme control settings, lack of communication from the support team, and difficulties in uninstalling the app properly. On the positive side, users appreciate the step-by-step guidance for SEO optimization, the AI features, and the support provided by the Yoast team.
Would not touch this app with a bargepole after an automated updated wiped all my theme control settings on my website. Zero communication from Yoast, appalling "we'll get back to you in a couple of hours" response to help and no notification once they'd fixed it after receiving what must have been many thousands of similar complaints from those affected. Completely unacceptable. Deleted the app instantly and will not be reinstalling (not convinced its needed with Shopify's own SEO tools anyway).
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re genuinely sorry for the disruption and frustration caused by the recent Yoast SEO for Shopify update. You’re absolutely right to be disappointed. An update affecting your theme settings and, in turn, your business operations is serious.
