Automated SEO Optimization
We discovered the plugin and service lately, and we're surprised how easy and helpful it is! I can't confirm the negative reviews from the past, but the new owner seems to take it very seriously and improves the plugin + service quite well. We can recommend Image SEO to anyone who doesn't want to optimize their images for SEO manually.

STAY AWAY! Wost plugin, no support
I purchased this plugin in Oct '23 and it did not work as advertised, the results were extremely poor and pretty much unusable.I requested a refund several times since October 2023 without a single reply from them or any offer of assistance or a refund.I would not recommend this company or their products to anyone.

This plug in is a SCAM
I subscribed to the 1000 credits option and purchased an additional 500 credits. I ran your plug-in in, and it was not generating any results but was taking away credits from my account. After writing your support, I received no response, so I canceled my subscription. Upon cancelation, my remaining 1000 credits from the subscription were removed from my account, followed by the removal of the additional 500 credits. This plug-in is a scam does not work, and is not supported.
