JSON-LD for SEO turns a Shopify store's products, reviews, blog and business details into structured data for Google, Merchant Center, Bing and Pinterest, including awkward cases like preorders and used goods. It's sold only as one $399 yearly plan, with no monthly option and no free plan. Refunds are given only if the app can't be installed, and it won't work on headless stores. - **Value for money: D.** $399 a year is about $33.25 a month, exactly where this category's dearest tenth starts, for structured data alone. There's no monthly option. The price does include an audit, monitoring of how products show in Google and a video course. - **Free plan and trial: C.** No free plan. There's a 7-day trial of the annual plan, and the listing doesn't say it needs a card. After that, $399 is charged for the whole year. - **Features: C.** Product, review, Merchant Center, store, blog, page, FAQ, recipe and video markup, with settings for preorders, used goods and subscriptions, plus an audit and monitoring. It does structured data fully, but that's a smaller job than a full SEO app. - **Ease of use: B.** No store rating on record, but there's little to set up: it pulls prices, stock, reviews and policies from Shopify into the markup and keeps it current when products or the theme change. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, inside the Shopify admin, with Google Merchant Center, Shopify Markets and more than 20 review apps such as Judge.me, Stamped and Klaviyo Reviews. No phone or desktop app. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Ilana Davis LLC's own pages and its Shopify App Store listing on 23 October 2026.

What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. 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 $399 a year. - You could make: Schema markup: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: The same prompts asked of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI answers every day, and the answers kept. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Google Merchant Center, Judge.me and Stamped among them.
