Let customers speak for us
Set up was cake. No issues at all. Works pretty well right upon installing. Love the settings it gives to customize the way I need to. Very useful!
I have been using another big name plugin that is similar to this that was costing me 199 per year and I have three Wp sites so that is 600 a year. Decided to give this a go since it’s cheap and one time cost aside from the open ai api which isn’t really that much This plugin is even easier to use than the big guys once set up. I liked it enough so downloaded it two more times so add to my other two sites. Here’s to saving money and still getting good results I need!
I have a wordpress site for 3 years now and i have a few ranking pages but really struggle over all.. i suck at seo and when it comes to understaning googles search consolne i am totally lost! This plugin did take me about 25 min to set up because i dont understand APIs and such i had to set up with google and open ai, but i did get it done which the plugin has very nice built in directions... Once i did get it set up, this thing is worth so much more than what they charge for it not kidding at all. I tried something else a few months ago and it was like $399 per year! i love this one is a one time buy and its actually affordable for someone like me who is struggling to get anywhrre with my wp site. This thing has helped me quite a bit already now couple weeks in using it and it has helped me fix and make 19 of my blog posts so much better and now imprssions are starting to increase so i can see its legit.. its not guessing on anything its literally using data google gives that people are looking for and it helps me to impliement these fixes on my site literally by clicking an accept but.. could not of made it any easier. thank you so much again and many many thanks to you
I seen the creator of this post on reddit last night and thought i would give it a try, to be honest im actually very impressed by this! i have used it to already add over 130 internal links to my website that i couldnt believe i had missed myself but i sure enough did. To me this plugin is GOLD!!!
My 8 year old wanted to 3d print a dragon and we looked at a lot of ones online but this is the one he liked the best. Pleased with the download and it printed very nicely
Thank you SO much for making this!! I am a new blogger and don’t have loads of money for those big companies that charge a lot of money yearly. I was skeptical at first but watching your YouTube video on it allowed me to see how it worked and really sold me. It is super easy to use and helped me find over 400 internal link chances on my website!!!! A few of them I did deny as they didn’t need to go but the bulk majority of them made perfect sense!! This is a huge help. Thank you so so so much
i am new to the truck driving world just getting out of HS i need to learn all the questions and the Why for the answers and this is the best thing out there i have found, its worth way more than the $10 i paid for sure! helped me pass! thanks yall!
thank you trucking resource and thnak you quick digital files for having this from them!!! this thing was a life saver, i failed my cdl permit twice and then i got this and studied it good for an hour or 2 daily for about 11 days and then passed my cdl permit the next try with 96% instead of under 70% like the times before!! this thing is priceless now i get to start my new career!!
I got this for myself and my bestie at work! we have been using it for quite a few days now and it def helps our work flow out at our nurse station !
This has helped me save so much time lately!! appreciate it!
Basic simple form, easy to use.
when you download your file from a broker like robinhood like me the files that it gives you make almost 0 sense.... i did use coin tracker but it was running me 300 a year while this app here isnt as advanced... it was only 15 bucks and it heped me easily figure up the info i need for taxes when it comes to my cypto! lfe saver only $15 bucks but worth much more because i never have to pay again!! thx so much!
Been looking for this everywhere! Thank you!!!!
Soon as I seen this one I added it to my cart with my others haha this one is funny. Gonna make a t shirt with it
