User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the plugin's capabilities for enhancing SEO, making content optimization more straightforward, and providing real-time feedback for pages and posts. The free version suffices for many users, and technical SEO features like sitemap generation and meta tag management are valued. However, several users reported issues after updates, such as database update problems, slow performance, bugs with schema and integrations, and frequent upselling notifications. Support is critiqued for pushing issues back to users or being unhelpful. Other complaints include poor performance, difficulties in managing meta descriptions, and misleading consent options for AI features. Users suggested improvements for readability and keyword detection, particularly with passive voice and plural forms.

There is no possibility to set up SEO title and meta desc. for sub-categories, we have to set up one by one, which is non-sense in 2024!

Before the new version that was released I would have given this plugin 5 stars, however after the recent update, I can no longer update title tags or meta descriptions in non-production environments. When I save a title tag or a meta description in the page/post editor on a staging site, it does not update. Something in the new version of the plugin is not updating the database properly. There is a tedious workaround for this issue, but if you have a large amount of sites, it is just not practical to implement that on hundreds of staging sites, or every time you have to create a staging site you have to perform this fix just to get the plugin to work. Plugin support just pushes the issue back on me and wants me to alter things in my hosting environment (Kinsta), or add custom settings to wp-config to disable indexables which is just ridiculous. The plugin worked great until the latest version (23.0). I hope they will eventually fix this with an update, but for now I’m looking for another solution for my client sites.
