SheerSEO Review: Disappointed by Limitations, Support, and Usability
My experience with SheerSEO has been underwhelming. Here’s why:
No JavaScript Support on Basic Plan
If your site relies on JavaScript, the basic tier won’t work—you’ll need to upgrade to Pro. My developer confirmed this right away.
Rigid Domain Policy
One of the biggest letdowns: you can’t change your registered domain unless you upgrade. I no longer use my original domain due to a shift in business strategy, yet SheerSEO refuses any flexibility. I never requested a price adjustment or refund. I only asked to change the domain associated with my account, as I no longer use the old one. It’s unreasonable to deny such a simple request—especially when I’ve already paid for the product. If they refuse to allow a domain change, it’s the customer who loses their investment. Unfortunately, they seem indifferent to that.
Poor Support & Price Discrepancy
I paid $75 for the lifetime deal, only to see it later at $49. No price match, no help. Support has been slow and unhelpful throughout.
Weak Documentation & Onboarding
There’s no real tutorial. You’re sent to a vague blog with videos that don’t explain much. First-time users will struggle.
Buggy Interface & Feature Gating
There are minor UI glitches, and many features are locked unless you pay more—even under a “lifetime” plan.
Inconsistent Support
Some users get replies; others (like me) are left hanging.
⚠️ Summary: Not for Everyone
If you need JS crawling, domain flexibility, real support, or proper onboarding—SheerSEO likely isn’t the right choice. Better SEO tools are available. I believe many of the positive reviews may be paid, sponsored, or not entirely genuine.

Jul 17, 2025User for 3 years demands to replace domain with single code. I say this is possible only with 2 codes. He gets angry and leaves a bad review.
I wanted to give a low price plan with one code. It is very usable for users with an online website. For their business maybe. But users who use it for their clients, will require 2 codes or more.
As for the Javascript. Most sites use Javascript for things like menus. This is supported. The only case that isn't supported is when the entire page and content are retrieved by the Javascript. This is rare.
