What happens to my data if I uninstall Seokai?
Last Updated: June 9, 2026The SEO metadata you applied stays on your store, because it lives in Shopify, not in Seokai. When you uninstall, Seokai loses access to your store and follows Shopify's standard app data handling.
Does Seokai support multiple languages?
Last Updated: June 9, 2026Yes. Seokai can generate localized, multi-language SEO metadata so your products and pages are optimized for each market and language your store serves.
Does Seokai generate image alt text?
Last Updated: June 9, 2026Yes. Seokai uses AI vision to look at each image and write descriptive alt text, which helps both accessibility and image SEO. You can do it one image at a time or in bulk.
What is the llms.txt file and do I need one?
Last Updated: June 9, 2026An llms.txt file gives AI tools and assistants a clear summary of your store so they can understand and surface it more easily. It's not required, but Seokai can generate one for you to help with AI-driven discovery.
Will AI-generated SEO content get my store penalized by Google?
Last Updated: June 9, 2026Used as intended, no. Google judges content by whether it's helpful and accurate, not by whether AI helped write it. Seokai aims for useful metadata, and you review everything before it goes live.
How does Seokai generate SEO metadata?
Last Updated: June 9, 2026Seokai reads the content you already have in Shopify, such as a product's title, description, type, and images, and uses AI to draft meta titles, descriptions, keywords, and tags tailored to each item.
Does Seokai add schema markup (structured data) to my store?
Last Updated: June 9, 2026Yes. Seokai can add automatic schema.org structured data (JSON-LD) for Product, Article, Organization, and FAQ, which helps search engines understand your content.
Is the AI-generated content unique to my store?
Last Updated: June 9, 2026Yes. Seokai builds each suggestion from your own product details and store context, so the output fits the specific item rather than reading like generic boilerplate.
Can Seokai create social media posts?
Last Updated: June 9, 2026Yes. Seokai can draft AI social post copy for Instagram, Facebook, X, and LinkedIn based on your store's content, ready for you to tweak and post.
How long until I see ranking improvements with Seokai?
Last Updated: June 9, 2026It varies, and there's no guaranteed timeline. After you apply optimized metadata, search engines need to recrawl and reassess your pages, which usually takes weeks to a few months. Results also depend on your competition and overall site quality.
Can I buy extra credits without upgrading my plan?
Last Updated: June 9, 2026Yes. Seokai sells one-time credit packs, so you can top up your balance for a busy stretch without changing your subscription.
Does Seokai work with all Shopify themes and plans?
Last Updated: June 9, 2026Yes. Seokai works with any Shopify theme and any Shopify plan. It saves SEO metadata into Shopify's standard fields instead of editing your theme, so it doesn't matter which theme you run.
Can I cancel my Seokai subscription anytime?
Last Updated: June 9, 2026Yes, anytime. Billing runs through Shopify, so you cancel from your Shopify admin, and the SEO metadata you've already applied stays on your store.
Will Seokai overwrite my existing meta tags, and can I undo changes?
Last Updated: June 9, 2026Only when you choose to apply changes. Nothing updates automatically, and Seokai offers CSV meta backups plus restore, so you can save your current metadata first and roll back if you ever need to.
Do I need any technical or SEO knowledge to use Seokai?
Last Updated: June 9, 2026No. Seokai is built for store owners with no SEO background. It writes the metadata, scores each item, and tells you what to fix in plain terms, while still leaving room for experts to fine-tune.
Does Seokai slow down my store?
Last Updated: June 9, 2026No. Seokai writes metadata and structured data into Shopify instead of adding heavy storefront scripts, so it's built not to affect your page speed.
Does Seokai change my product content or only the metadata?
Last Updated: June 9, 2026Only the metadata. Seokai works on meta titles, descriptions, keywords, tags, alt text, and structured data, not your visible product descriptions or pricing, and nothing changes until you apply it.
Can Seokai optimize products, collections, pages, and blog articles?
Last Updated: June 9, 2026Yes, all four. Seokai generates SEO metadata for products, collections, pages, and blog articles, and you can do them one at a time or in bulk.
Can Seokai automatically optimize new products?
Last Updated: June 9, 2026Yes. Seokai can automatically generate SEO metadata when you create a new product or collection, so new items get optimized without you having to remember.
How does Seokai's credit system work?
Last Updated: June 9, 2026Seokai runs on credits. AI actions like generating metadata or alt text use credits from your balance. There's a free plan to start, paid tiers with more included, and one-time credit packs if you need extra.
