Solid plugin
Truly a solid SEO plugin. It does what it needs to do, almost bug free. Wish it had a little more features at times like LLMS.txt but overall very good

Great Plugin_from SEO.Appdome
Great Plugin, checks and helps your score progressions, as you currently update your content.

SEO plugin deletes keywords
Sorry ! This is the third time that updating your plugin has deleted keywords from my product pages, descriptions and titles. Fortunately I have less than 30 products, otherwise it's a disaster. For several years my WP site has been running with the Spa & Salon theme. I deactivate and switch to another plugin.

A good SEO WP plugin
As the name suggests, Smartcrawl does its job. After I activated the plugin ,my website was able to rank more than a plugin I had used. Smartcrawl doesn't slow a website, instead, it makes it more performance.

So far so good
It's been working great without any issues. I'm loving it. Though an interface revamp would be great.

Great plugin
SmartCrawl is very user-friendly and has loads of features. I had tried a competitor's plugin to my disappointment. SC is definitely a superior product.
