Uninstall the app
At a glance
- What you get
- Remove the app knowing exactly what stays and what is deleted.
- Time
- 3 minutes
- Plan
- All plans
Before you start
- If you only want to stop paying, you don’t need to uninstall: you can go back to Free and keep the app.
- If you want to keep information you’ve seen in the app (AI visibility results, audits, unapproved drafts), copy it first: it can’t be recovered after uninstalling.
Uninstall
- In Shopify, go to Settings › Apps and sales channels.
- Find IFG GEO Optimizer in the list and open it.
- Press the button to uninstall and confirm.
Warning: uninstalling deletes the data saved in the app and can’t be undone. If you reinstall the app, you start again from the first setup.
What happens straight away
- The subscription ends. Shopify ends your Grow or Unlimited subscription together with the app.
- The theme blocks disappear. Shopify removes the app’s blocks from your theme: GEO Schema and GEO FAQ no longer appear on your pages, so FAQs are no longer visible to customers.
- The app’s data is deleted: catalog audits, FAQ and description drafts, AI visibility questions and their results, support chat conversations, Link Coach analyses, visits counted from AI engines. Settings go back to empty.
What stays in your store
The changes you approved or saved stay, because they are part of your products and store:
- rewritten and approved descriptions, and edits to title, description and SEO texts made from the app;
- collections created by Link Coach (delete them from the Shopify Admin if you don’t need them);
- the llms.txt, llms-full.txt and agents.md files, if you published them to your theme: they stay in the theme until they’re removed. If you want them removed, write to us or ask whoever manages your theme.
What we keep, and for how long
About 48 hours after you uninstall, Shopify sends us the request to delete the store’s data. At that point the app also deletes what was left: the configuration, the monthly counters and the sessions. Until then the use of the free trial also stays on record: if you reinstall before that, trial days already used stay used.
We only keep a minimal record of the welcome email (the store’s .myshopify.com domain and the sending dates and, for anyone who asked not to receive more emails, the date of the request and an encrypted fingerprint of the email address), so that we don’t send it again and we respect your choice. All the details are in the privacy policy.
If something goes wrong
I uninstalled but I’m still being charged. App charges are on your Shopify bills. If you see a charge after uninstalling, write to info@ifgecommerce.com with your store name.
After uninstalling I still see structured data on the page. It may be the browser or theme cache. Reload the page after a few minutes; if it’s still there, it may come from the theme itself.
