This page gets a new site from zero to a fully optimized first post in a few minutes. Pick the WordPress or Shopify path below — both end at the same place.

WordPress

  1. 1

    Download the plugin

    Install from wordpress.org/plugins/seofyme-seo, or grab the latest zip from the WordPress plugin page. No account or credit card required.

  2. 2

    Upload and activate

    In wp-admin go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, choose the zip, install it, then click Activate.

  3. 3

    Flush permalinks once

    Go to Settings → Permalinks and click Save Changes. This registers Seofyme's sitemap and redirect rewrite rules — skipping it is the most common cause of a 404 on /sitemap_index.xml.

  4. 4

    Optimize your first post

    Open any post or page, find the Seofyme panel below the editor, set a focus keyphrase, and work through the checklist until it's green. See On-page SEO.

  5. 5

    Optional: connect Seofyme Cloud

    If you want hosted AI drafting or hosted audits, generate API keys in your account and paste them into Seofyme's settings page.

Shopify

  1. 1

    Install from the Shopify App Store

    Search for Seofyme in the Shopify App Store, or go straight to apps.shopify.com/seofyme, and click Install.

  2. 2

    Approve the requested permissions

    Shopify shows the data scopes the app needs (theme, products, pages) before install completes.

  3. 3

    Run through the setup checklist

    The app home walks through generating your sitemap, enabling schema, and reviewing your first few products or pages.

  4. 4

    Optional: pick a Cloud plan

    Free covers on-page SEO, sitemaps, schema, and redirects. Choose Cloud Starter, Pro, or Agency in-app if you want hosted AI drafting — billing runs through Shopify Admin.

Only use official sources

Only install Seofyme from this site, wordpress.org/plugins/seofyme-seo, or the Shopify App Store. Nulled or “premium cracked” SEO plugins from third-party sites are a common malware vector.
