Adding a Blog Post

Blog posts help with local SEO and give returning customers a reason to come back. Here's how to add one.

TODO: Content Director — Replace this placeholder with a step-by-step walkthrough including screenshots. Cover both "publish now" and "schedule for later" paths.

What you'll do​

  1. Open the Blog collection in your admin.
  2. Click New Post.
  3. Write a title, slug (URL), summary, and body.
  4. Add a featured image.
  5. Choose Save Draft, Publish, or Schedule.

Fields explained​

Title​

The headline of your post. Aim for 50–60 characters.

Slug​

The end of the URL. Auto-generated from the title — only change it if you want to.

Summary​

A 1–2 sentence pitch that shows up in category pages and search snippets.

Body​

The post itself. Supports rich text, headings, images, lists, and links.

The thumbnail that shows on the blog index and social previews.

Categories / Tags​

TODO: Content Director — Document the categorization model once finalized.

SEO tips​

  • Include your city or neighborhood in the title if it's relevant.
  • Use H2 and H3 headings to break up sections.
  • Add alt text to every image — see Uploading Images.

Publishing vs scheduling​

  • Save Draft — keeps the post private; only you can see it.
  • Publish — goes live immediately.
  • Schedule — pick a future date/time; the post auto-publishes then.
