# Installation & configuration

## Installation

1. Upload the plugin via the Shopware Store or as a ZIP (**Extensions → My extensions → Upload extension**).
2. **Install** and **activate** the plugin.
3. Recompile the storefront theme if needed (only required when the color/footer options are used).

## Basic configuration

The basic settings are located under **Settings → Plugins → SEO Ultimate → Configuration**.

### Character counter

Defines the Google-compliant limits that are shown as a character counter in the bulk generator.

| Setting                         | Default | Description                                      |
| ------------------------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| **Meta title characters**       | 60      | Recommended maximum length for meta titles       |
| **Meta description characters** | 160     | Recommended maximum length for meta descriptions |

> The counter turns red as soon as the configured length is exceeded.

### Footer: Shopware logo

* **Remove Shopware logo in footer** – hides the "powered by Shopware" logo in the footer.

### Fontawesome

* **Fontawesome kit code** – paste the complete script tag of your Fontawesome kit here:

```html
<script src="https://kit.fontawesome.com/{kit-ID}.js" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
```

The kit code is required for the icons in the **social media footer** and the **header banner** (Conversion & usability).

### Generator settings

* **Generator block size** (default: `100`) – block size for the save requests of the bulk generators. Higher values can speed up mass generation but require more server performance. **When in doubt, leave it at 100.**

## Automation (cron job)

For the daily automatic execution of templates, Shopware's **scheduled task system** is used. This requires the scheduler / message consumer to be running on the server (standard on production systems). See [Cron job / automation](/seo-ultimate/english-documentation/cronjob.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.hubyte.de/seo-ultimate/english-documentation/installation.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.
