Download the plugin

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
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.

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

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.
