## Ways to pay less

- **Save 17% with yearly billing** (Annual discount): The listing offers Pro at $348 a year and Enterprise at $990 a year, which it says saves 17%; the help center puts these at $29 and $82.50 a month. Source: https://apps.shopify.com/avada-seo-suite

## Key features

- **AI SEO audit and checklist:** Scans pages for problems from meta tags to slow images and applies fixes in one click; 20 pages on the free plan, unlimited on Pro.
- **Image optimization:** Compresses and resizes images and writes alt text, with AI alt text at 1 credit per image. The free plan compresses 100 images.
- **Speed up:** Lazy loading, minification and JS deferral, in basic, turbo and rocket speed modes by plan; critical CSS extraction is on Enterprise only.
- **Meta tags and structured data:** Basic meta tags for free and rule-based meta tags on Pro, with Google structured data that grows from common to advanced types by plan.
- **Technical SEO:** Broken-link scans on every plan and automatic fixes on Pro, plus 301 and 302 redirects, XML sitemaps, a robots.txt editor and instant indexing.
- **Keyword research and MCP:** Pro adds keyword research, and the help center explains connecting the app over MCP to ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and other AI clients.

## Good for

- Shopify stores that want an SEO checklist with fixes applied for them
- Speeding up a slow Shopify theme
- Catalogs with many images to compress and describe

## Worth knowing

- Works only on Shopify stores; it is installed from the Shopify App Store.
- Keyword research, the script manager and automatic broken-link fixes need Pro; critical CSS and the AI audit agent need Enterprise.
- The trial charges automatically when it ends; cancelling or downgrading mid-cycle still bills the full period.
- Extra AI credits are one-time packs from $5.99 for 500; a $49-a-month bundle adds Avada's blog and product copy apps.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.2 out of 4**, graded Oct 23, 2026. Avada audits a Shopify store's pages and applies fixes, compresses images, writes alt text and speeds up the theme, with meta rules, schema, sitemaps and redirects. The free plan stops at 100 images and 20 audits, Pro is $34.95 a month, and the trial charges you automatically when it ends.

- **Value for money: D.** Pro is $34.95 a month, inside this category's dearest tenth (from $33.25), or $348 a year, about $29 a month. Critical CSS and the AI audit agent need Enterprise at $99 a month.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** A free plan with 100 images, basic speed and meta tags, 20 on-page audits, 100 AI credits and an HTML sitemap. Enough to try it; a real catalog uses it up.
- **Features: B.** Audits with one-click fixes, image compression and alt text, lazy loading and minification, meta rules, structured data, redirects, XML sitemaps, keyword research and MCP. It covers the whole job, with the deeper parts on Enterprise.
- **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. It installs from the Shopify App Store, but there are meta rules, speed modes and AI credits to manage.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, inside Shopify. It connects to Search Console and Shopify Flow, works with Judge.me, Loox, GemPages and EComposer, and links to AI clients over MCP.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Avada SEO Suite you would be making search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 46 of the 78 other SEO plugins and apps grade higher. It costs $419.40 a year.

- You could make: Schema markup: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: Search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date.
- You could not: A crawler that checks every page of a site.
- You could not: Speed tests run from real browsers on a schedule.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Google Search Console, Shopify Flow and Judge.me among them.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
