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.
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.
