The app tidies the store.Someone still has to fill it
Booster and Avada fix meta tags, broken links and images on a Shopify store, both have a free plan and both start in the tens of dollars. We do a different job on the same store: we write and publish articles, post to your Google Business Profile, and check once a month where the store stands in Google, Google Maps and AI answers.

Booster SEO is a good product, and for some businesses it is the right one. This page is not here to argue otherwise. It is here to show what each of us is strong at, so you can tell which one fits you.
When a Shopify app is the right buy
In these cases take theirs, not ours
They are cheaper, they install in a minute, and on the maintenance work of a large catalogue they are simply better than us.
When the problem is catalogue hygiene
If your product pages have no meta descriptions, you have broken links and your images are heavy, an app on a free plan or at $39 is the right purchase and it is fair to say so. Booster fixes tags and links in the background without asking, and Avada handles images and speed across thousands of products. We do not do the image and speed work at all.
When you want to start without committing
Both have a permanent free plan, not only a trial. Installing takes about a minute, billing runs through the Shopify account you already have, and there is no new card and no new account to open. We give seven days with no card, and after that it is a paid product.
When you want a product with many merchants behind it
On 2026-11-11 Booster's listing showed 4.8 out of 5,485 reviews and Avada 4.9 out of 4,692. Those are merchants who installed, stayed and wrote. We do not have that volume of reviews on the Shopify App Store, and that is a legitimate thing to weigh.
The comparison
What each one does, taken from the apps' own Shopify App Store listings
| What we compare | Go Top SEO | Booster SEO |
|---|---|---|
| Price | From $79 a month plus tax. In Israel, from 249 ILS a month including VAT. | Booster: a free plan, Pro $39 a month, Premium $69 a month. Avada: a free plan, Pro $34.95 a month, Enterprise $99 a month. |
| Free plan and trial | A 7-day trial, no credit card, cancel anytime. There is no permanent free plan. | Both have a permanent free plan. On the paid plans: a 14-day trial on Booster, 7 days on Avada. Billing runs through the existing Shopify account, with no new card. |
| Fixes on the store itself | Some fixes are applied through our plugin, with your approval and no code to read. | Booster describes automatic meta-tag and broken-link fixes on Pro, with continuous monitoring. Avada describes a checklist of fixes applied across the pages and the theme. |
| Images and speed | We do not compress images and we do not work on store speed. It is not part of the product. | This is their strength. Booster: image compression with 5GB of storage a month and automatic filenames on Premium. Avada: image optimisation and a speed booster on every plan. |
| Who writes the articles | The system. Topics, text, images and internal links, after you approve. | No blog or article writing appears among the features and plans in Booster's listing. Avada's listing names "blog posts" under onpage SEO without describing the scope. |
| Publishing to the store and the site | Automatic publishing to Shopify and to WordPress, from the same content plan. | Both apps work on a Shopify store. |
| Google rank tracking | A monthly check of your organic positions in Google. | Booster's Premium plan surfaces Google Search Console metrics with 365-day history — that is Google's own data. Their listings describe no rank tracking in Google, in Maps or in AI answers. |
| Google Maps and Business Profile | Automatic posts to the profile with your consent, drafted replies to reviews, and a monthly check of your position in Google Maps. | Google Business Profile, reviews and Maps are not mentioned in either listing. |
| AI answers | An automatic monthly check in ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI. | Booster prepares the store for AI search: LLMs.txt, Schema.org markup and AI-oriented meta tags. That is preparation. Measuring what the engines actually answer is not described in the listing. |
| Reports | One monthly report covering the work done and the positions measured. | Booster: a reports dashboard, a weekly email summary and fix history; PDF reports on Premium. Avada: onpage audits, unlimited on Pro. |

When we fit better
When someone has to fill the store and check whether it worked
The apps tidy what is already there. We add new content, the local side, and measurement.
Content written and published
A monthly topic plan you approve, and then articles with images and internal links publish to the store by themselves.
Your Google Business Profile
Posts to the profile with your consent and drafted replies to reviews, which matters for a store with a physical location or a local service.
Monthly measurement, not only optimisation
A monthly check of your positions in Google, in Google Maps and in the answers from ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI.
WordPress too, in ten languages
If you also run a WordPress site, the same content plan publishes to both. Interface and reports in your language, and in Israel a price in shekels with VAT included.
