The ZEISMO direct build checks ZEISMO for approved plugin updates. The WordPress.org build contains no ZEISMO updater and uses WordPress.org updates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nTechnical service disclosure: the current plugin communicates with ZEISMO-operated HTTPS API endpoints on crm.zeismo.com for account connection, licensing and AI requests. This hostname identifies the service infrastructure, not a requirement to use the ZEISMO CRM product.<\/p>\n\n
ZEISMO provides these services. Terms: https:\/\/zeismo.com\/terms\/ Privacy policy: https:\/\/zeismo.com\/privacy\/<\/p>\n\n
IndexNow<\/h4>\n\n
IndexNow is an optional instant-indexing protocol. It is disabled by default in the WordPress.org build. After an administrator enables it, publishing or updating public content, or manually submitting the sitemap, sends the public page or sitemap URL, the site's IndexNow verification key and the public key-file URL to https:\/\/api.indexnow.org\/indexnow. Participating search engines use this information to discover the submitted URL. IndexNow terms and privacy provisions: https:\/\/www.indexnow.org\/terms<\/p>\n\n
Public URL checks<\/h4>\n\n
Broken-link checks and competitor comparisons run only when an administrator starts them. They make ordinary HTTP requests to the public URLs the administrator asks the plugin to check. The destination server receives the requested URL and standard HTTP request information, including a ZEISMO SEO user agent that identifies the requesting site's public URL. Each destination website's own terms and privacy policy apply.<\/p>\n\n
Stripe checkout<\/h4>\n\n
If an administrator chooses a paid ZEISMO plan, the browser is redirected to a Stripe-hosted checkout page. Payment details are entered directly on Stripe and are not collected by this plugin. Stripe terms: https:\/\/stripe.com\/legal\/consumer Privacy policy: https:\/\/stripe.com\/privacy<\/p>\n\n
The optional \"Visitor pulse\" counter contacts only the same WordPress site. It is disabled by default in the WordPress.org build and begins only after an administrator enables it. It stores aggregate counts in five-minute buckets for 24 hours, without cookies, visitor profiles, raw IP addresses or external transmission.<\/p>\n\n

\n- In WordPress, open Plugins > Add New Plugin, search for ZEISMO SEO and select Install Now. Alternatively, upload the plugin ZIP through Upload Plugin.<\/li>\n
- Activate ZEISMO SEO, then open its setup wizard from the Plugins screen or ZEISMO SEO menu.<\/li>\n
- Review your site type, identity and suggested settings. Connect a ZEISMO account only if you want its optional online services.<\/li>\n
- Open a post or page to edit its SEO title, meta description and focus keyword. Save the post to keep your changes.<\/li>\n
- Review search appearance and sitemap settings. Keep development and staging sites non-indexable.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
Before replacing another SEO plugin, take a backup, enter SEO fields manually and inspect sample posts. Keep only one plugin responsible for overlapping SEO output.<\/p>\n\n\n
\nDo I need an account or a paid plan?<\/h3><\/dt>\nLocal features need no account or paid plan. Optional ZEISMO online services require an account and may have usage limits or paid plans. Free includes a limited monthly allowance for hosted title and description drafts. Paid plans provide larger allowances and additional online tools. Reaching a hosted allowance does not disable included local editing, audits or other local functionality.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Does upgrading include the planned features?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. The upcoming online-tools roadmap is a development preview, separate from the available plan comparison. Planned services are unavailable until implemented, tested and released. Buying credits adds usage capacity for eligible services; it does not change feature eligibility.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Do I need my own AI API key?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. Optional AI requests use ZEISMO's server-side service. Review the External services section for data sent and the circumstances in which requests occur.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Will this guarantee higher rankings?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. SEO tools can help you review metadata and technical settings, but rankings, indexing and rich results are decided by search engines. Scores and previews are guidance, not guaranteed outcomes.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Can I import from another SEO plugin?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. Settings uploads, SEO-plugin migration and other imports are disabled. Existing saved settings and metadata are preserved.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Are IndexNow and Visitor pulse enabled automatically?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. Both are disabled by default in the WordPress.org edition and require administrator opt-in. Their behavior is documented below under External services.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Where can I get help or request a feature?<\/h3><\/dt>\nUse the linked WordPress.org support forum and ZEISMO guide. Include versions and reproduction steps, never passwords, licence secrets or private customer data.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
