Connect Seofyme Cloud under **Seofyme SEO Account** for hosted AI quotas. 2. On WordPress 7.0+, configure a site-level provider under **Settings AI / Connectors**. Seofyme uses this when Cloud keys are empty. 3. Optionally paste an OpenAI or Anthropic key under **Settings BYO AI** as a last- resort fallback. 4. Without Cloud keys, a WordPress AI provider, or a BYO key, offline heuristics still suggest titles and descriptions. #### Compatibility Seofyme SEO is original code under the `SeofymeSEO` namespace with `_seofyme_*` meta keys — **not a fork** of Yoast, Rank Math, or AIOSEO. Running two full SEO plugins usually duplicates titles, sitemaps, and schema. Prefer one SEO plugin per site. WPML: `wpml-config.xml` registers SEO titles, descriptions, social fields, schema, locations, and homepage settings. With WPML active, Seofyme outputs hreflang tags( unless WPML already does) and language alternates in the XML sitemap. #### Open source GPLv3. Full source on [GitHub](https://github.com/seofyme/wordpress-plugin). Product page and changelog: [seofyme.com/wordpress](https://seofyme.com/wordpress). ### External services This plugin can connect to third-party services. Core SEO (titles, sitemaps, schema, redirects, and on-page analysis) works without any remote call. Remote services are used only when an administrator opts in (Cloud keys, IndexNow toggle, Search Console OAuth, or a BYO AI API key), or when WordPress 7.0+ has a site-level AI provider configured. #### Seofyme Cloud / CacheRocket * **What it is / used for:** Optional hosted AI drafting, plan/usage status, and connected-install heartbeat. Used when you save Seofyme Cloud API keys under ** Seofyme SEO Account**. * **When / what data is sent:** When you save API keys, refresh plan, generate drafts, or uninstall. Typical payloads include your public/secret API keys, site URL and domain, plugin/WordPress/PHP versions (heartbeat), and — when generating drafts — the post title, stripped post content, and focus keyphrase. On uninstall, a disconnect notice is sent so the connected install can be marked disconnected. CacheRocket may also request the public REST ping endpoint on this site (`/wp- json/cacherocket/v1/ping`) to confirm the plugin is still installed. * **Service:** [Cache Rocket](https://cacherocket.com) * **Terms of Service:** https://cacherocket.com/terms-and-conditions * **Privacy Policy:** https://cacherocket.com/privacy-policy #### WordPress AI Client * **What it is / used for:** On WordPress 7.0 or later, AI drafting prefers the core AI Client when Seofyme Cloud keys are empty. The site owner chooses and configures the provider once (Settings AI / Connectors). Credentials are managed by WordPress, not by this plugin. * **When / what data is sent:** When an editor clicks Generate and no Cloud keys are saved. The drafting prompt (post title, excerpt, and focus keyphrase) is sent to whichever provider the site owner has configured. #### OpenAI * **What it is / used for:** Optional fallback for AI title/meta suggestions when Seofyme Cloud keys are empty and the WordPress AI Client has no provider. Used only if an administrator pastes an OpenAI API key under Settings BYO AI and selects OpenAI. * **When / what data is sent:** The API key and a prompt containing the post title, a short content excerpt, and focus keyphrase, when an editor clicks Generate in the AI draft box. * **Service:** OpenAI — https://openai.com/ * **Terms of Service:** https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use * **Privacy Policy:** https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy #### Anthropic * **What it is / used for:** Optional fallback for AI title/meta suggestions when Seofyme Cloud keys are empty and the WordPress AI Client has no provider. Used only if an administrator pastes an Anthropic API key under Settings BYO AI and selects Anthropic. * **When / what data is sent:** The API key and a prompt containing the post title, a short content excerpt, and focus keyphrase, when an editor clicks Generate in the AI draft box. * **Service:** Anthropic — https://www.anthropic.com/ * **Terms of Service:** https://www.anthropic.com/legal/terms * **Privacy Policy:** https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy #### Google Search Console * **What it is / used for:** Optional rank sync. Used only after an administrator saves Google OAuth client credentials and completes the Connect Search Console flow. * **When / what data is sent:** OAuth client ID/secret, refresh token (to `https:// oauth2.googleapis.com/token` and `https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth`), the connected Google account email (`https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v2/userinfo`), and Search Analytics queries for tracked keywords (`https://www.googleapis.com/ webmasters/v3/`). * **Service:** Google — https://search.google.com/search-console * **Terms of Service:** https://policies.google.com/terms * **Privacy Policy:** https://policies.google.com/privacy * **Google APIs Terms:** https://developers.google.com/terms #### IndexNow * **What it is / used for:** Optional instant URL submission to participating search engines. Off by default. Used only after an administrator enables IndexNow under Settings. * **When / what data is sent:** The site host, the IndexNow key, the key file URL, and the published public post URL, to `https://api.indexnow.org/indexnow` when a public post is published. * **Service:** IndexNow — https://www.indexnow.org/ * **Terms:** https://www.indexnow.org/terms * **Privacy Policy:** https://privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement ## Blocks This plugin provides 1 block. * Related links ## Installation 1. Install **Seofyme SEO** from **Plugins Add New**, or upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/seofyme-seo/`. 2. Activate it. Local SEO features are available immediately. No account is required. 3. Open **Settings Permalinks** and click **Save Changes** (no need to change anything). This flushes rewrite rules for sitemaps, schema JSON, `llms.txt`, and IndexNow. 4. Open **Seofyme SEO Settings** and set your homepage title/description and organization name. 5. Connect Seofyme Cloud under **Seofyme SEO Account** only if you want hosted AI quotas. Generate keys on [Account](https://seofyme.com/account) after you register at [seofyme.com/auth/register](https://seofyme.com/auth/register). Requires WordPress 6.0+ and PHP 7.4+. ## FAQ ### Do I need a Seofyme account? No. The local toolkit (titles, sitemaps, schema, redirects, linking, Local/Video/ News, WooCommerce SEO, site audit) is free forever and works without an account. Seofyme Cloud adds hosted AI drafting and usage metering. Details: [seofyme.com/wordpress](https://seofyme.com/wordpress). ### Is this a fork of another SEO plugin? No. Seofyme SEO is original code under the SeofymeSEO namespace with `_seofyme_*` meta keys. ### Will Seofyme conflict with another SEO plugin? Running two full SEO plugins usually duplicates titles, sitemaps, and schema. Prefer one SEO plugin per site. ### Is Seofyme SEO compatible with WPML? Yes. A `wpml-config.xml` registers SEO titles, descriptions, social fields, schema, locations, and homepage settings for translation. With WPML active, Seofyme also outputs hreflang tags (unless WPML already does) and language alternates in the XML sitemap. Install WPML String Translation to translate site-wide options such as the homepage title. ### Why do sitemaps or llms.txt 404? Save **Settings Permalinks** once after install or update. That flushes rewrite rules. ### Do I need an AI API key? No. Core SEO works without it. On WordPress 7.0+, Seofyme prefers the site-level WordPress AI Client. You can also connect Seofyme Cloud or paste an OpenAI/Anthropic key under BYO AI. Otherwise offline heuristics are used. ### Does IndexNow run automatically? No. IndexNow is off by default. An administrator must enable it under Seofyme SEO Settings. Until then, no URLs are submitted. ### Can I use a nulled or cracked copy? No. Nulled plugins are often modified with malware. There is nothing to null — the local plugin is already free. Download only from WordPress.org or [seofyme.com/wordpress](https://seofyme.com/wordpress). ### How are translations handled? The plugin is internationalized with the `seofyme-seo` text domain. Translation files are not bundled. Community translations are managed at [translate.wordpress.org](https://translate.wordpress.org/) and delivered automatically through the WordPress translation update system. ### Where can I get support?
