Too many quirks for my taste...

It was all the 5-star reviews that convinced me to make this purchase and I'm not overly impressed. I mean... it's good, but it's not as great as the reviews led me to believe. Here's why I only give the software 3 tacos...

Ever since installing the plug-in, I've had trouble getting the SEO audit to run and update. Support has helped but is unresponsive at times.

I inadvertently added a noindex page to the SEO audit and according to their support person that page was/is the cause of the SEO audit not running properly. Their solution to getting the audit to work properly again was to reindex the page but the reality of blogging is that some pages are just not index-worthy. This error on my part seems unforgiving as the audit tool still will not update as of this writing.

Further, I had to manually enter the target keyword for every post (400+ of them), even though I had already had a focus keyword entered into Yoast for all my (indexed) posts.
Sadly, according to their support response, focus keyword data didn't/wouldn't transfer in from Yoast and so manually adding the data to every post and clicking on run the SLA Live Assistant was my only option. *Ugh... there's a few hours from my life I'll never get back.

Lastly, the software is reporting duplicate page titles and duplicate descriptions on two of my posts. Everything I see about those two posts shows they have distinct titles and descriptions, yet I can not get the audit to properly report this issue. I also can not get support to respond to me any longer. I guess I hit my limit with them (really!).

Anyhow... I get there are quirks to software but the quirks I’ve encountered have taken up so much of my time that it hasn’t proven to be worth the purchase. Perhaps in time, it will be. I’ll keep my fingers crossed.
