Smart SEO review

Smart SEO from Sherpas Design has been on the Shopify App Store since August 2015, and its plan ladder is the easiest to justify on this list. The free plan covers meta tag and alt tag optimization, a sitemap, noindex tags, a broken link check on 100 pages, 50 image optimizations, 20 AI generations and an automatic audit of 20 pages. Pro at $14.99 a month, or $149.90 a year, adds JSON-LD, IndexNow and page speed tools, bulk meta and alt tag optimization, bulk image optimization, 404 hit detection and llms.txt and Agents.md files for AI assistants. Business at $24.99 adds AI bulk work on filenames, meta tags and alt tags, backlinks and multi language support, and Premium at $49.99 removes the audit cap. The trade-off is that the AI bulk features most stores want sit one tier above Pro. Merchants rate it 5.0 from 960 reviews.
