Smart SEO AI & Image Optimizer review: our take
Smart SEO handles the technical chores of a Shopify store: AI meta and ALT tags in bulk, image compression and renaming, JSON-LD, broken-link and 404 checks, IndexNow, sitemap and noindex control. The free plan checks links on 100 pages, optimizes 50 images and gives 20 AI generations, enough to judge the output.
Pro is $14.99 a month, or $149.90 a year, with 200 AI generations, 1,000 images, Search Console through MCP, and LLMs.txt. Multi-language stores have to move to Business at $24.99, and Premium at $49.99 takes a merchant's own key for unlimited AI generations. TinySEO's Beginner plan costs $14 and compresses 1,500 images a month, the better buy when image volume is the main load.
What Smart SEO AI & Image Optimizer does
Smart SEO generates meta tags, ALT tags and descriptions with AI (individually or in bulk), compresses images and renames image files, and adds JSON-LD structured data. It checks for broken links and 404 hits, manages the sitemap and noindex tags, submits pages through IndexNow and runs automatic SEO audits on a page quota. Paid plans add Search Console integration with MCP and Shopify Sidekick, LLMs.txt and Agents.md catalogues, a backlinks report and multi-language support; quotas (AI generations, link checks, images) are monthly with paid top-ups.
