# Quickstart

Up and running in a few minutes: this quickstart takes you from the installed plugin to your first SEO improvements. For details we point to the matching chapter each time.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

## Install & activate

Open **Extensions → My extensions**, install **PremSoft SEO Tools** and click **Activate**. On activation the plugin sets up all fields, tables and background tasks automatically.

→ Details: [Installation](/en/plugins/seo-tools/installation.md)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## (Optional) Unlock Premium

For the advanced tools: **Settings → SEO Tools → Plans → Subscribe to Premium**. Without Premium you can use all Basic features right away.

→ Details: [Basic and Premium](/en/plugins/seo-tools/basic-and-premium.md)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Set the basics

Open the plugin's **Configuration** and check, per sales channel:

* **Activate plugin for this sales channel** is on.
* Under **Rich snippets**: enter the **company name** and **logo URL**.
* Under **Sitemap**: review which content is included.

→ Details: [Configuration](/en/plugins/seo-tools/configuration.md)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Optimise your first product

Open a product and switch to the **SEO** tab:

1. Enter a **meta title** and **meta description** – the **counter** keeps you in the green range, the **SERP preview** shows the Google result live.
2. Check the **canonical URL** and the **robots** value.

→ Details: [Meta data](/en/plugins/seo-tools/management-dashboard/meta-data.md)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Start bulk optimisation (Premium)

Instead of maintaining every product individually:

1. **SEO Tools → Bulk generator**: create a template (e.g. `Buy {product_name} | {manufacturer}`), check the **preview**, then **Execute**.
2. The job runs in the background – the progress bar shows the status.

→ Details: [Meta data → Bulk meta generator](/en/plugins/seo-tools/management-dashboard/meta-data.md#bulk-meta-generator-premium)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Generate the sitemap

**SEO Tools → Sitemap → Generate sitemap now**. The generation runs in the background; after a short while reload the page to see the updated timestamp.

→ Details: [Sitemap & hreflang](/en/plugins/seo-tools/management-dashboard/sitemap-and-hreflang.md)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Keep an overview

Open **SEO Tools → Dashboard** (Premium): the average SEO score, products without meta data, 404 errors and an action list show you what to tackle next.

→ Details: [SEO analysis](/en/plugins/seo-tools/management-dashboard/seo-analysis.md)
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

> **Important:** For bulk actions (bulk generation, sitemap, image scan, link check, schema validation) to be processed, the **message queue worker** must be running. See [Prerequisites](/en/plugins/seo-tools/pre-requisites.md).

From here, the best path is to work through the feature chapters: [URLs & redirects](/en/plugins/seo-tools/management-dashboard/urls-and-redirects.md) · [Rich snippets](/en/plugins/seo-tools/management-dashboard/rich-snippets.md) · [SEO analysis](/en/plugins/seo-tools/management-dashboard/seo-analysis.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.premsoft.de/en/plugins/seo-tools/quickstart.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
