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 When I uninstalled the app, payments were no longer being withdrawn from my account.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. We take all feedback seriously and see it as an opportunity to both improve and clarify things. First, we want to address a fundamental misunderstanding: Though our app offers some improvements out of the box and without needing to take manual actions on these, the most important parameters for improving your SEO are by optimizing content on a regular basis and performing careful keyword research. Without perseverance in SEO efforts and proper optimizations, it is not likely to achieve substantial SEO results. Regarding installation and charges, we'd like to make absolutely clear that an app installation through the Shopify app store cannot take place without the merchant's permission or specific code authorization. This is how the Shopify system works: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/apps/installing-apps#install-through-the-shopify-app-store When an app is installed, and as long it remains installed, Shopify's billing system will generate charges for it until the app is uninstalled: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/your-account/manage-billing/your-invoice/apps#subscriptions This applies to all subscription-based apps available in the Shopify App Store, as Shopify determines its billing system at its own discretion. 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 In addition, the reference to other reviews about charges, also have to do with the way the Shopify billing system works and how app charges are generated by the Shopify system, as clarified in the responses we provided in those reviews, and the Shopify resource shared above. In conclusion, there is nothing suspicious about the installation or charges, as our app abides by Shopify's system. If you are concerned about an installation that was not performed by you, please, reach out to Shopify's support for clarifications about your store's activity logs. 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.

Me siguen cobrando una vez que me he dado de baja. Ruego paren. Y encima me da error al eliminar la reseña...
Gracias por compartir tu reseña. Como mencionamos en nuestra respuesta a su correo electrónico sobre este cargo el 28 de octubre, desafortunadamente, esto no está relacionado con nuestra aplicación, sino que depende únicamente del sistema de cobro y los términos de Shopify: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/your-account/manage-billing/your-invoice/apps#subscriptions que se aplican a todas las aplicaciones basadas en suscripción disponibles en Shopify App Store. También puedes encontrar más información sobre los cargos de la aplicación Shopify en este artículo de ayuda de Shopify: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/your-account/manage-billing/your-invoice/apps Como desinstalaste nuestra aplicación poco después del comienzo de un nuevo ciclo de facturación, Shopify incluyó un cargo en su factura, ya que identificó la aplicación como todavía en uso para una suscripción mensual adicional. Entendemos que esto es simplemente una confusión relacionada con las fechas de facturación y es por eso que nuestro equipo se ofreció a ayudarlo en ese momento pero no recibió respuesta suya. Por lo tanto, nuestro equipo pronto se comunicará con usted para aclarar las cosas y ayudarlo con este asunto. Asegúrate de revisar tu bandeja de entrada y responder para resolver este problema lo antes posible. Por último, nos gustaría aclarar que no respondimos antes a tu reseña, ya que sistemáticamente las reseñas de Shopify son visibles dentro de los dos días posteriores a su envío. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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.
Thank you so much for sharing your kind review! Our priority is customer satisfaction and great support, so we are thrilled that we met that mark! We will also forward your feedback to Sid. Should you need any assistance in the future, do not hesitate to contact us. We'd be happy to help! 🙂

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!

This is a very good app for SEO and very helpful; it's clean, provides important features for search ranking, support is very helpful and quick to respond. But it's not quick fix, obviously, and requires a lot of manual labour to be utilized efficiently. If you have a lot of products, be prepared to spend time. A lot of time. However, Shopify is really bad for organic SEO ranking so it's really vital to use an app like Yoast to increase sales. I noticed an overnight jump in increased traffic on our Google Console Account after spending basically an entire day re-writing meta tags in Yoast. My only downvote would be the lack of option to automate product title to alt tags to save time, and the lack of information where to edit errors found in scheme and rich snippets, and so on. I also find the AI feature quite weak and useless in some respects; it should allow automated propagation of the product title to save on time. I also wish they had a different pricing structure as I find the price a little heavy for small stores. Maybe a one time price to fix issues could be an attractive option. I also don't like that the app leaves behind a lot of ghost code once you uninstall it, even after following the cleanup recommendations. But, other from that it's a good app that I would recommend.
Thank you for your feedback! We're thrilled to hear about the traffic boost after optimizing your meta tags with Yoast SEO app. We recognize the manual effort involved and are eager to improve efficiency. Your insights are invaluable, and we thank you for sharing these with us. Rest assured that most of the details and feedback you provided are already under our Product team's radar for improvements. Regardless, our team will contact you via email if you are willing to share any additional details as these will help us develop our app in the best possible manner.

I'm not a big leave a review person, but I love this plug in, makes everything so much faster and easier. The biggest party I love is the customer service. When they answer your question, they don't just give the answer, they qualify the answer and teach you the "why" of something. Very awesome plug in and support.

Really useful tool to use daily to optimise our collections and products. Simple to find related keywords in the app and not over complicate it. Good for all team members to use as part of daily tasks, even those not as experienced in SEO as the explanations as to why you are changing something are really helpful. Links to more detailed articles are also very informative. When an issue came up with our theme clashing, it was quickly resolved and so very happy with the support side too.

The features are really basic, they are clearly still focused on Wordpress. Even the paid version offers no automated improvements or even bulk edits for Alt tags!? There are definitely better apps out there, this is very average, actually below average
Thank you for sharing your review. We sincerely appreciate your feedback, though we are sorry to hear that our app does not meet all your expectations. While we understand you would like to have more options available in our app, we'd also like to address the points you raised specifically: 1. When it comes to the features available in our Shopify app and those in our WordPress plugins, we want to clarify that is it not a matter of platform focus. As WordPress is an open platform and Shopify is a closed one, there are certain restrictions/limitations when developing features, as we can work with what is offered by Shopify's API. We do understand editing alt text in bulk (besides the bulk edit options we currently offer) would be a useful option, which is why we have a feature request for this to be developed as a feature or an integration. 2. In regards to what our app offers to merchants as well as automated improvements, we understand our app may not match all merchant profiles and needs, so we want to clarify some of the main features our app offers. - Our app lets you optimize your content for your desired keywords (Focus keyphrase field). - The app will output product-specific structured data in the source code of your product pages. This helps your products get rich results in search engines, improving your clickthrough rate (stitched automated schema output). - The app automatically takes care of the technical SEO details (according to best holistic and content SEO practices and search engine guidelines in order to be less vulnerable to core search engine updates). - You can control and optimize how your search results look by letting you set your titles and meta descriptions and influence the search engine results. - You can also control how your products will look on social media when they are shared (Social appearance control). - Access to Yoast Academy premium online courses for you or your staff. Rest assured our team is doing everything possible in order to provide more features (including certain A.I. automations) and value in the near future, so you can get the most out of your existing subscription. Thank you again for sharing your feedback. We appreciate it greatly, as it will help us improve our app and better serve all our app users.

Best support experience! Sid quickly responded when I contacted Yoast for help with my theme integration. He helped me in minutes. I'm excited to have this app working on my website again!

This app made my SEO worse, halved my traffic during the trial period, I deleted it before the trial period ended and still got charged, worst app I've ever come across
Update June 6: we are adding this update in an attempt to notify you of our follow-ups, through the Shopify review system and for visibility purposes, as we have not received an email reply from you. If you do see this update, please respond to any of our emails so we can help you the soonest possible with your store. May 30 reply: Thank you for sharing your feedback with us, though we're sorry to read about the experience you had. It seems that you left your review before you reached out to our team for support, so we sent an additional email to address your concerns and clarify the points you mentioned here. In addition, for anyone reading along, we'd like to clarify that the charging matter specifically, was caused due to a technicality of Shopify's billing system https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/your-account/manage-billing/your-invoice/apps (billing cycles in Shopify initiate even if one minute has passed after the exact end time of the trial period) and it has been resolved by our team after communication with the merchant. Lastly, we'd like to clarify that we have not responded earlier to your review, as systemically, Shopify reviews are visible within two days after being submitted.

I've been using the Yoast SEO app for 4 years on my Shopify store and seen significant results. Traffic increased and conversions are up too! It breaks down SEO (on-page, technical, off-page) simply and effectively. The courses are fantastic for learning and implementing SEO. Yoast's customer service is another huge plus. They're always helpful and responsive, solving my issues quickly. Their app was so valuable, I added it to my second site. I definitely recommend Yoast for anyone serious about SEO.
Thank you for your kind review and motivating feedback! We are very happy to know that you are satisfied with our app, academy resources, the quality of our support services, and, of course, the results! Should you have any questions, feel free to contact us 🙌
