1. Download the plugin
After purchasing SEO Booster Pro, you will receive an email containing your license key and a link to download the plugin as a ZIP file.
AppSumo users: Go to your Products page on AppSumo, click the “Activate” button next to SEO Booster, and follow the instructions to receive your license key via email.
2. Install the plugin in WordPress
- Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard
- Go to Plugins → Add New
- Click Upload Plugin
- Select the downloaded ZIP file and click Install Now
- Once installed, click Activate Plugin
You will then be prompted to enter your license key to activate the plugin.
3. Authenticate with Google
After license activation, you’ll be asked to authenticate your Google account. This step is required to allow the plugin to access your Google Search Console data.
- Click the authentication button – you’ll be redirected via seoboosterauth.com to Google
- Select or log into the Google account that has access to your Search Console properties
- Grant permission when prompted
- After confirmation, you’ll be returned to your WordPress dashboard
Note: The authentication process is secure. Only temporary access tokens are handled by seoboosterauth.com – no personal data is stored. All data is encrypted both in transit and at rest.
4. Choose your website and start gathering data
Once authenticated, the plugin will fetch your list of verified websites from Google Search Console.
- The plugin will automatically try to match your current website with a GSC property
- Click Get keyword data to start the sync
- If the plugin selects the wrong property, use the dropdown to choose the correct one
SEO Booster Pro will now begin downloading your search performance data. The initial sync may take a few minutes depending on the size and traffic of your site.
Note: On the first sync, the plugin downloads up to 90 days of historical data (14 days for free users). After that, it updates automatically every 24 hours in the background.
