There is no way to contact this developer. No support. No anything. Support methods listed on the website do not work or the developer (Jeffery) ignores them. If you subscribe, you won’t have any way to unsubscribe.
You cannot log into the website to manage your subscription, licenses on domains, or receive updates. You cannot reset your password, the email never arrives. I managed to contact Jeffery directly once through a clue given in an email header. You may want to explore that, if only to get yourself in. Even if you log in, you cannot unsubscribe yourself from the plugin.
The plugin is not compatible with current versions of PHP (8.x) It still works on early versions of PHP 7, which is now unsupported and a security risk.
Former subscribers are charged annually for a service they can’t unsubscribe from. Some licenses cost $500 USD.
WordPress should remove this plugin from the directory.
It is too bad. This was once among the best SEO plugins. It is now just a scam. Jeffery should at least step up and cancel all subscriptions….

I needed to cancel the subscription for the plugin but my login id and password didn’t work and the same for the reset password link. After a few back and forth, the issue has been resolved and my money refunded. Thank you for your help.

gives error Warning: “continue” targeting switch is equivalent to “break”. Did you mean to use “continue 2”? which causes the website to give 404 error and website will not work.

I hear the paid version is phenomenal, but I would never use the free plugin on a client’s site or any website I cared about. To be fair, the developer warned the plugin would no longer be updated to fit new versions of WordPress–possibly leaving your site open to hacking/vulnerabilities. So this is less of a complaint to Jeff and his team, and more of a confirmed warning to would-be users to 100% avoid installing this.

I used to use this plugin and liked it better than Yoast too, so I built a site depending on features of it that cannot be ported and they stopped the free version and I had the option to buy pro or move to another plugin when stuff started breaking. I considered buying the paid version too, but did not, because it felt like a hostage situation. Pay, or watch the site you created fall to pieces as our plugin gets obsolete.
I don’t want to be in this place once more. If they can ditch free to promote paid, tomorrow if another plugin brings more money, they can ditch paid in favor of that too. What happens to carefully created structure on my site when the plugin becomes obsolete and starts creating problems? There is no changelog or last updated info for their paid. Not that it being published would prevent them from calling any update the last on whim.
No thanks. I would rather maintain the crucial functions I have already used on my own and move the rest of the features to an open source plugin for an open source platform.

I bought SEO ULTIMATE last November and regret it. Still got the advert all over my dashboard and find the help not helpful.

I just deactivated my plugin and will stay un-dependent of any more such plugins
The latest wordpress update brought a video from SEO Ultimate pretending to be a News Flash from TV news, with paid actors pretending that the move to only paid version is some kind of great offer with all these benefits (gets hundreds of dollars from you, and keeps you needing more)..
The video was like one of those clickbank deceptive con artist videos, tying to make the product look as if its owned by some multi billion seo firm, when in truth it belongs to some kid in his bedroom.
This has just caused me to switch off the seo plugin. I think this is going to cause the developer to lose his public exposure by his removing of the free version. Im not staying hooked, i just unhooked myself. This product is owned by a very greedy person who is now trying to get all the free users to upgrade with his deceptive video. Should be banned from wordpress

I’ve been using Ultimate and Yoast alternately on various sites. Both have their pros and cons. Here’s a smattering of a review:
Ultimate is great when you want a tight package to do specific things. Yoast is great if you’re new to SEO and need some training.
Having said that, Ultimate is not so great if you don’t have at least some SEO/SEM training. Yoast is a pig if you have training. I use SEMRush for fine tuning – and trim up my linking and OG with Ultimate. Kinda expensive tools to have laying around (SEMRush) but that’s the nature of the beast (IMHO).
Again – Yoast isn’t bad. It’s just clunky. Really hate those lights. And I’m kinda tired of the constant reminders to upgrade – you don’t get that with Ultimate. One downside for Ultimate is that they’ve stopped supporting the free version of the plugin. They want you to purchase a license to get support. Which is okay – I get it. Free is not a sustainable business model. But free also helps people compare platforms. It’s the years that I’ve spent working with both plugins that have given me great insight into two valuable tools.
Tip: I only have 6 of Ultimate’s modules turned on at any given time – which is optimal for an average hosting service. More than that, tends to slow the site down. That’s where the training comes into play – eventually you learn that “everything, all the time” is not necessarily a good SEO/SEM strategy.

I did not know if the premium would work so I uploaded the free version first. Low and behold my numbers doubled instantly. I am in the process of buying the pro for $49 a year. I cannot afford not to buy it! I have tried Smartcrawl and it produced just as well, but for $49.00 a month and it crashed my site. Cancelled it. Bottom line, at least install this plugin and YES! I definitely recommend this to any business.

Cant say enough about this wonderful seo plugin, as an seo consultant and online webmaster I have used many plugins, Yoast, lots of others, many compare, but none go the extra mile to really deliver all the important features you need to not only to please Google but they deliver the best features that you didnt even think you needed. And it flawlessly integrates into any site theme I have used so far, including Avada and many other popular ones. I like that I dont have to download lots of plugins to accomplish what I can do in Seo Ultimate… bye the way, spend the money and get Seo Ultimate Plus. They have specials sometimes that include a license and a professional consultation. If your serious about your site ranking in Google then this is the plugin for you.

A pretty good SEO plugin but needs a little work and the push for upgrading to premium is a little annoying but expected.
]]>Rating: 1 star
To set something as simple as a non default canonical you have to upgrade to premium. This comes standard in almost any other seo plugin.

Out of the box, this plugin is very lacking. It does not consistently fill in defaults on various meta tags and open graph tags.
Simple things like open graph descriptions aren’t pulled in from post content. You have to manually add them to the SEO Settings metabox. The open graph image doesn’t pull in the featured image as a fallback, which it should.
Open graph tags are especially important for sharing on Facebook. This is very much considered SEO and should be just as important as your meta tags.
Most of the modules it comes with are bloated and should be disabled as soon as you activate the plugin.
It also doesn’t seem to do sitemaps at all. SEO by Yoast has fantastic sitemaps.
And a lot of modules aren’t related to SEO at all. Like widgets, rich snippet creator, whatever “whitepapers” is.
Turn this plugin off, and your site performs much better. This plugin really needs optimized.
If you go through and fully customize this plugin, then it’s not so bad. I’ve actually written my own plugin to fix a few of the problems, but another issue with SEO Ultimate – it’s very plugin un-friendly. You have to go completely out of your way to filter the meta description (by using get_metadata’s filter itself, which is not performant).

I’ve tried 3 of the “top-rated” seo tools listed in the WP repository and they all seemed bloated with featured I didn’t need and that either slowed down my site on a highly optimized HHVM>PHP-FPM w/NGINX server, or if they weren’t slowing admin page load down, they were adding far too many options and red-light seo warnings that were completely unfounded (yeah, that’s you Yoast). This was almost enough to make me say “hell NO to SEO” and just give up on pretty search results and the whole social network sharing mess…
… and then I found SEO ULTIMATE and noticed a few peculiar things happening… 1) adding/editing pages in admin was blazing fast compared to the others, 2) I could enable or disable feature modules that pertained to my requirements, and 3) after the no-brainer decision to buy Pro for HALF the price of the others, I found just a few issues that Jeffrey (the developer, not an outsourced support rep) called me personally to walk me through. One issue we realized was on Twitter’s end, the others were my user error/confusion and Jeffrey agreed to clarify some example texts and update the Twitter section accordingly – but it ALL WORKS and it all works BRILLIANTLY.
I’ve never been so happy with an SEO plugin after being FRUSTRATED with so many other overpriced SEO junk plugins that I will honestly never purchase another license for after all they put me through.

Installed the plugin, set up a few minor things and then it dumped a load of ‘Warning’ lines of code at the top of every post on my site. It is all to do with the meta keywords part of the plugin, which evidently a lot of people have trouble with.
Could be a great plugin – loads of options and functions, but when people see your site and get 10 lines of PHP error warnings it tends to put them off. DO NOT INSTALL THIS PLUGIN, IT IS BUGGY AS HELL AND POORLY DESIGNED.

I’m really happy to see this plugin is back in active development.
It’s the best seo plugin for me as I’m lazy…
The bulk editor, internal linking, link masking and nofollow features are quick and to use and the usual SEO features are all present and work perfectly.
Yes, XML sitemaps need an extra plugin (no big deal…) but that should really be in WP core IMHO.
Great to see you guys are back and I look forward to future updates!
