📌 Changelog

Avada SEO suite changelog for merchants who wants a regularly-updated product.

June 2026

AI content: one place to write SEO content for your whole store

AI writing for meta titles, meta descriptions, and FAQs used to be scattered across the app — you had to open each product or collection and generate one at a time, which was slow and easy to leave half-finished. The new AI content hub brings it all together. Each content type is a card you open to generate in bulk across your entire store: pick a language, add your own instructions to steer the tone or keywords, and run it in the background.

Every card shows a coverage report (total pages, pages already optimized, and a percentage) with a Scan button to refresh, plus two modes — generate for all pages or only for pages not yet optimized, so you don't spend credits redoing work. Preview results before applying, and check the History panel to see past runs. Meta titles and descriptions cost 1 credit per page; FAQs cost 1 credit per FAQ. The hub also links straight to two companion apps — SEO On: AI Product Description for product copy and SEO On: AI Blog Post Builder for articles — installing or opening them in one click.

A menu built around what you want to achieve

The main navigation has been reorganized from a flat list of tools into outcome-based groups, so features are easier to find. Related tools now live together under clear headings — SEO Audit, Performance, Search optimization (link manager and search appearance), and Indexing (robots.txt, sitemap, instant indexing, site verifications, and Google Search Console) — with each feature shown as a card explaining what it does. Nothing about how the features work has changed; they're just easier to reach. Previously buried tools like Instant Indexing, Robots.txt, and Sitemap are now surfaced in the Indexing group.

AI credits reset on a rolling 30-day window

Monthly AI credits now refresh on a rolling 30-day cycle from your billing date, instead of resetting on the first of the calendar month. This gives every store a full, consistent credit period no matter when in the month they subscribed.

More accurate SEO scores

Two audit scoring fixes make your scores more trustworthy. A live-page check that failed because Shopify briefly throttled or timed out the crawl no longer drags your score down — the app now keeps your existing result instead of flipping structured-data checks to "missing." And product pages that return 404 are no longer flagged as "missing meta description," since a page that doesn't exist shouldn't count against you.

July 4th "Happy 250th" sale

A limited-time in-app offer ran on the dashboard for the U.S. Independence Day season, with discounts on Pro and Enterprise plans over 3- and 6-month terms. The banner appeared for eligible stores and hid itself automatically after the campaign ended.

Other Improvements

Empty meta tag fields now show clearer, action-guiding placeholder text so you can tell at a glance when a field still needs filling in.
AI credits are now only charged for image alt text that generates successfully.
Sitemaps now default to your custom domain when one is set.
The Home page support section was redesigned for a cleaner, more balanced layout.
Speed score checks now retry automatically when a measurement service returns a transient error.
Fixed feature unlocking so Enterprise stores correctly get all Enterprise features, including Google Structured Data options.

Bug fixes

Fixed the storefront FAQ block breaking on iPhone (iOS 26) with a large gap and an overlapping icon, FAQ answers not saving when a link was the only change, the audit editor scrolling the whole page instead of the text box on Safari, blog and article meta previews showing placeholder text instead of real content, the SEO checklist scan getting stuck or restarting, audit history not recording correctly, AI fix errors, publish-all issues, a collection SEO score that differed between the app and the exported file, Bulk Edit "select all" not applying to every page, related keyword generation failing when store location or language defaults were missing, FAQ language not following the store locale, the homepage 404 catch-all being tracked as a broken link, audit content translation, WhatsApp block display, and a subscription date display error.

May 2026

SEO Audit history and one-click rollback

After you (or an AI fix) changed a page's meta, title, body, or related keywords, there was no way to see what the previous version looked like and no way to undo — one bad AI fix could overwrite your original content for good. Now every change to an audit detail is saved as a snapshot. Open History on any product, collection, blog, or page audit to see a timeline, compare a past version side by side with the current one, and roll back in a single click. Snapshots start from when the feature shipped, so earlier changes won't have history.

Sharper AI image alt text, now in Romanian too

The AI that writes image alt text moved to a stronger vision model that describes products more accurately and in more detail. Romanian was also added to the supported alt text languages.

Heads-up before you hit Shopify's redirect limit

Shopify caps how many URL redirects a store can have. The app now warns you when your redirect count is approaching that cap, so you can clean up old redirects before new ones silently fail to save.

Richer Google Structured Data

Structured data gained three additions for better search results: loyalty program markup, Judge.me review ratings, and an organization image (logo) field. These help Google display more complete, trustworthy information about your store and products.

Other Improvements

Redirect import now handles semicolon-separated CSVs, files with a byte-order mark, and multi-sheet Excel workbooks, so more of your export files import cleanly on the first try.
FAQ headings and sub-headings can now be set per page and per language.
Bulk Edit now supports sorting, so you can order rows the way you want to work through them.
SEO scores are more reliable and consistent — the score shown in the list now matches the detail view, single-H1 detection was corrected, and ignored assessments are counted correctly.
Bulk FAQ generation improvements, including a higher default number of questions per page.
Animated images are now rejected from optimization, since converting them can break the animation.

Bug fixes

Fixed AI alt text not reverting when the original was empty, the "Optimize now" filename action doing nothing when a file had no alt text, bulk FAQ "select all" sending invalid product references and not recording AI usage, percent-encoded redirect paths not reconciling during 404 sync, a page SEO score mismatch between the list and detail views, missing translation keys showing raw text like "BulkEdit.title" on non-English stores, unsafe rendering in the AI meta generator, a JavaScript defer toggle not applying on save, multilingual keyword handling, and truncated descriptions.

April 2026

Bulk Edit: change SEO fields across many pages at once

A new Bulk Edit page lets you edit SEO fields on dozens or hundreds of products, collections, or articles at once, without opening each one. Switch between a spreadsheet-style Table view (with customizable columns) and a Card view to scan visually. Twelve edit modals cover the fields merchants asked for most: meta title, meta description, social title/description/image, URL handle, canonical, no-index, image alt, structured data flags, and bulk variable apply.

FAQ management joins the bulk workflow too. Turn FAQs on or off across every language in one action, or bulk-delete legacy FAQ entries you no longer need. Both run as background jobs with progress tracking.

Meta tags, redesigned: one view, smart rules, and AI writing

Meta tags used to live in two separate modes (Basic and Rule) that you had to switch between. We've merged them into a single, clearer layout: Default meta tags (the template for all pages) and Custom meta tags (rules for specific pages or conditions) now sit side by side in the same screen, organized by Product, Collection, and Blog post tabs.

Inside the editor, type @ in any title or description field to pick a variable inline, with no more hunting through a separate variable list. A new Generate with AI button creates SEO-ready descriptions in one click, using your store's context and language (Pro plan: 100 credits, Enterprise: 1,000 credits).

Managing rules is now drag-and-drop. Reorder priority by dragging rows, flip rules on or off with a quick toggle in the table, and hover any rule to preview exactly how it will render on Google, all without leaving the list.

Auto-disable schedule for time-limited campaigns (Enterprise)

Running a Black Friday, flash sale, or holiday campaign? Set a rule to auto-disable on a specific date and time, so stale sale meta tags don't linger on Google after the campaign ends. Available on the Enterprise plan.

Smarter Main Content fix with AI

Fixing Main Content issues with AI is now async. The job runs in the background and retries with a smarter model if the first attempt isn't good enough (up to five attempts). You can continue working in the app while it runs and check back when the job completes.

HTML Sitemap shows more

Your HTML sitemap now displays meta description and H1 tag alongside the page title and URL, giving visitors (and search engines) a richer preview of each page.

Faster image optimization

Image optimization has been rebuilt to process each unique image file once, instead of re-processing the same image every time it appears on a different page. Faster, less wasted credits, and more accurate progress reporting.

Trial AI credit limit

Trial stores now have a clear AI credit limit enforced at the platform level, so trial usage matches what's communicated at signup.

FAQs use H3 headings

Storefront FAQ blocks now render with H3 headings (previously mixed). This aligns with SEO best practice for nested heading hierarchies on product and collection pages.

Other Improvements

Articles can no longer exceed an SEO score of 100 (ignored assessments now correctly factor in).
Skipped audit issues show an "unskip" option and the Fixed/Skipped counts update accurately.
Retry logic added for bulk FAQ and meta operations to recover from transient errors.
Cross-shop artifact isolation, so scan results no longer mix between stores in edge cases.

Bug fixes

Fixed negative credit display when meta count exceeded plan limit, 403 error fetching shop meta on the social networks page, duplicate results in redirect modal search, Crisp chat overlay blocking modals on mobile, FAQ prompt failing when focus keyword was empty, theme's original lazy-load attribute getting lost when the feature was disabled, pro modal incorrectly shown for revert optimize, meta description length validation, broken link migration getting stuck, and various small fixes across audit, redirect, and bulk operation flows.

March 2026

Internal Links with AI anchor text

A new way to build internal linking automatically. The app analyzes your store and suggests internal link opportunities across product, collection, and article pages, with AI-generated anchor text that matches each page's language and context. Review suggestions per page, apply in one click, and track which pages still need attention.

AI Alt Text, smarter and reversible

The image alt text workflow has been rebuilt around three things merchants asked for:

Versioning: every optimization is saved as a version. Don't like the new alt? Revert any image (or all images at once) back to a previous state.
Three optimization modes: choose All to re-optimize everything, Unoptimized to skip what AI already touched, or Missing to fill only empty alt fields. Each mode shows a tooltip explaining what it will do before you run it.
File title cleanup: toggle on to remove hyphens from file titles (e.g., red-cotton-shirt.jpg becomes Red cotton shirt) for cleaner AI input.

The app also now stops gracefully when credits run out, instead of failing mid-batch.

Redirect chain detection

If a redirect points to another redirect (URL A → B → C), the app now spots the chain and suggests the final destination directly in the redirect editor. This prevents slow redirect hops and helps you keep clean 301s.

Better Product structured data

Product Schema.org markup has been overhauled for richer Google results: variant grouping (isVariantOf, variesBy), pre-computed review data, and cleaner ItemList output. The structured data preview now strips HTML/CSS from product descriptions so what you see matches what Google sees.

Bulk FAQ: primary language and Norwegian

Bulk FAQ generation now respects your store's primary locale. Norwegian added to the supported FAQ languages.

HTML Sitemap: your own URLs

You can now add custom URLs to your HTML sitemap, beyond the auto-generated product, collection, and article entries. Useful for landing pages, policies, or external campaign pages.

App Block status on Dashboard

The Home page now shows which Avada app blocks are enabled on your active theme at a glance.

Other Improvements

Slovenian and Norwegian added as supported languages across AI content and audit features.
Broken link table now supports cross-page selection (select 200 rows across pages, deselect specific ones).
Lighthouse audit runs faster and at lower cost thanks to parallel data fetching.
Smarter keyword density target that adjusts the recommended count based on your content length.
"Powered by" link removed from sitemap output.

Bug fixes

Fixed Page Loader showing a white screen on certain themes, Hyper Speed not detecting some custom domains, wrong URL in the redirect edit form, image optimization displaying the wrong file format, meta fields not persisting on save, wrong URL submitted to Instant Indexing, broken links not opening when the store locale was Norwegian, redirect modal timing out on large collections, image alt issues not navigating correctly, related keyword display errors, and various small UI fixes in the audit and broken link flows.

February 2026

Google Structured Data Multilingual Autofill

Merchants selling in multiple languages had to manually enter structured data for each locale. Structured data fields now autofill based on the store's active locales, pulling translated product data automatically and saving significant setup time for multilingual stores.

AI Credit Usage History
