As an SEO expert, I have been wary in the past about having my clients keep ZenCart - but with Magneticone's plugins (specifically the SEO URLs, Advanced Sitemap, XML Sitemap + M1Export Tools) ZenCart is now comparable to top optimized cart solutions. The support I received when submitting a ticket was fast, direct and the fix was implemented with excellent followup. All this for an issue that wasn't even a problem with the tool, but more a customization i needed for a specific client, who is now top 10 for many high volume terms.
I tried a couple of other SEO modules on my site and neither one really gave me what I wanted. The first one modifed the htaccess file in such a way that if I tried to do a redirect from one page to another, through the server (CPanel), it 'broke' the site completely. That one was a disaster. The second one worked much better, but used the Category and Product ID's on all url's, and this couldn't be changed. While the url's were better than without this SEO module, it still didn't look 'clean', especially if I wanted to refer someone to a specific page on the site. I wanted 'clean', simple url's, like I would have if I had a simple html website. This is a must if you use a url in any kind of advertising. You don't want to have to point someone to a landing page that has a long, complicated url.
PowerSEO was the answer! It's absolutely great. After installing it, I can now go into the administration section and set up whatever I want for a url. For example, one page is simply www.rayfield.net/lighting. It's simple and it works great. The developers at MagneticOne clearly know a LOT more about Zen-Cart and PHP programming as compared to some of the other so-called 'professional programmers' out there.
I don't view PowerSEO as just an SEO module. It's allowed me to set up my website so that it's 'friendlier' for humans to navigate, by allowing me to customize the individual page url's to what I want them to look like. This is an absolute must if you're going to 'advertise' a specific landing page to your prospective customers.
I couldn't be happier.
