What FavSEO is
FavSEO combines SEO services with a web app for BigCommerce store owners. The app audits and edits product, category, and page titles, meta descriptions, meta keywords, and URLs. A bulk editor handles titles and meta descriptions in one place and displays character counts. The Premium SEO Audit Tool reports actions for targeted keywords across products, categories, pages, brands, and blogs. Fav Rank Tracker connects to Google Search Console to track keyword positions and explore search queries; a sitemap submitter can send the store sitemap. The BigCommerce Standard app plan is free for life, while BigCommerce Premium costs $20 a month and includes a 10-day trial without a credit card. Accounts that do not upgrade move to Standard. FavSEO says its app collects store and product information, but does not access or store customer information. The app is web-based. Its separate SEO services have no contract and can be canceled at any time, but payments are not refunded after acceptance.
