Merchants describe this as a user‑friendly “game changer” for on‑page, technical, and off‑page SEO. They like the clear tasks, traffic‑light indicators, readability checks, and AI that generates or refines titles, meta descriptions, and longer SEO texts. Many report better rankings, more traffic and sales, and use it daily for large catalogs. Support, onboarding, and included training are frequently praised as fast, thorough, and highly practical.

The app is good, it solved the problem of dealing with structure data. i want to mention their support team. they have been very patient and professional in giving me instant support and help as I am walked through the installation and setting up of the app. very helpful indeed, much more helpful than i could expect from a shopify plugin.

I downloaded the app to my Shopify account…..I knew nothing about how to set it up….luckily they have a service where you can get a guy from Yoast who contacted me and walked me through the whole setup process….he was very good…knowledgeable, patient and very qualified….I feel much more confident and happy about downloading Yoast for Shopify now…..the backup is fantastic….
Thank you for your kind words and review!
Our priority is merchant satisfaction and great support, so we are thrilled to know that we met that mark and helped you with your first SEO efforts.
Should you have any other questions feel free to contact us!
The app definitely teaches you a lot about SEO. You still need to enter everything yourself, it's not going to do it for you- as it shouldn't, but it's very helpful with letting you know when you're doing something right- or wrong.
I had a few questions, and "Sid" of the support team got back to me in great detail, with screenshots etc. I like it when support is that thorough, and not just with a few sentences.
Thank you for your kind review!
We're delighted to know that you are happy with our app and the provided support! We will also make sure to forward your feedback to Sid.
Should you need additional help in the future, please feel free to reach out!
The support from Yoast is first class and the app gives meaningful feedback you can immediately action to improve SEO. I have attended a one-day conference with awesome speakers, some webinars and I find their blogs very readable and informative. As a complete beginner on SEO, the Yoast app has really made a difference and given me confidence. The red, amber and green bullets are brilliant, especially as they come with useful advice and links giving further detail. I tried a couple of other SEO apps available via Shopify first but neither was anywhere near as good as this one. Thank you!
Thank you for your review and kind feedback!
We are really happy to know that our app and support introduced you to the SEO world in an easy, helpful and meaningful way.

Highly impressed by the performance and results of Yoast SEO Premium for WordPress; we were excited to add Yoast for Shopify too. It works, as we expected, like a charm. Have to commend the Yoast support team, specifically Sid, who was ready at hand with superb advice even over weekends both before and during the installation, guiding us with detailed explanations and screenshots. When we needed a theme code inspection and change, the development team delivered a highly impressive lightning-fast solution on top. All in all, we’re extremely satisfied with Yoast on both platforms. It's easy to use, with a lot of SEO benefits. As another review stated, Yoast support will not leave you until you are fully satisfied.
Thank you so much for your detailed review and for supporting our products on both platforms!
Our priority is merchant satisfaction both on app and support level, so we are thrilled to know that we met that mark.
Should you have any other questions feel free to contact us! We'd be happy to help 🙂
Before installing this app, I read the reviews. The common theme amongst the 3-star and lower reviews were issues with theme changes. Our experience wasn't much different.
Let me say the support team has been incredibly responsive to my questions and support requests. If it were simply a matter of the helpfulness of the people at Yoast, we would have kept the app.
Unfortunately though, our custom theme is such that every time we made a change, something kept Yoast from functioning as it should. It became a 'tail wagging the dog' situation that required too much time and effort to manage.
I have Yoast for WordPress and LOVE IT. They definitely know what they're doing with SEO, but unfortunately, it isn't a good fit for my Shopify store.
UPDATE: We'd like to inform you (and anyone reading this review) that as of May 16th, 2023, our app offers the option to be installed without removing conflicting code. As a result, our app does not modify your theme code the same way as before, and though that reduces the benefits of using our app (no Yoast output in the source), it also allows you to use the Yoast SEO analysis options for content optimization regardless if our app is integrated with your theme or not.
Therefore, if you wish you can use our app for content optimization only, without full theme integration.
Thank you for sharing your feedback, we sincerely appreciate it. To your point about the common theme among the 3-star and lower reviews, it’s important to note that almost all eight of those (except for one in April ‘22) were shared in the first 3 months after we launched the app in January '22. This is because after launching the app there were a few issues that our dev team had to address. Since then we have continued working hard to successfully and consistently earn 5-star reviews.
We do understand that there is an issue with our app and the custom theme changes on your store that is taking too much time and effort to manage. We respect your decision that the Yoast SEO for Shopify app is not a good fit for your store, but please keep in mind that we are always developing and improving it. Compatibility with your custom theme changes may be available in the near future. The app's changelog is at: https://developer.yoast.com/changelog/shopify/.
In conclusion, we are really happy to hear that you love using the Yoast SEO app for WordPress! Please reach out to us with any additional questions, we're happy to help.
I've had the app installed for just over two weeks. Since installing the app, my traffic from Search has dropped 50%. The jury is still out, but this does not bode well. I also think the app leaves a tremendous number of things off the table. If I run a free site audit from another service, all kinds of fixable stuff appears that I would have no idea about if I was relying solely on the Yoast app. It seems that all this app really does is act like a kind of Grammarly for SEO, but it asserts itself (from a technical standpoint and a marketing standpoint) as the be-all-end-all SEO solution—and this is problematic because I'm guessing it doesn't exactly play nice with the other SEO apps you might need to actually have a complete SEO game. After committing to this app and spending a lot of hours on it, I'm finding it very dispiriting. And that's really the worst part.
Thank you for sharing your review, though we are sorry to hear about the results you are currently experiencing.
We would like to get to the bottom of this and see how we can help you reach better traffic and ranking results with our app. So we've sent an email to address directly the concerns you stated here and clarify our app's scope and functions.
We're looking forward to hearing from you and helping as best we can.
This App is worth every penny (cent, dollar). I have been using it for some time now after finding other SEO providers fell short. This is an in-depth app from a well-known, trusted and respected provider. I was delighted when I saw there was a Shopify version. I'll be honest, you have to work on your site, but it becomes easier. I now have increased sales, know my site much better than I did, and put in the time to learn the 'new language' wrapped around SEO work. There is plenty of support and help from Yoast in explainers and how-to-type guides. You can also monitor the progress you are making at nearly every keystroke! Recently I came across a problem (and new words and explainers) highlighted by Google, which I wasn't able to figure out. I reached out to Yoast and have had the best service. I wouldn't have believed it. Prompt, professional, and genuinely wanting to help. My hero has been Sid, very helpful and patient. In short, I would highly recommend this app. I am still learning and getting better results and sales as I do. Highly recommended.
Thank you for sharing your review, and we are delighted to hear about your positive experience! You make a good point that the Yoast SEO app and support are tools for you to improve your store's performance, and that some work and input from your end are still needed to create the most value. However, as you also point out, one major benefit of the additional time and effort you invest with Yoast SEO is that you get to know your own site much better. We'll be sure to share your feedback with Sid as well, and please do reach out to us for any additional assistance. Our team is here for you and happy to help.
