Blog

Worth knowing
Why a dealer blog earns its keep
Your stock pages change every week. Your articles stay, and keep being found.
A good rule: write for the questions your buyers ask. “What to check before buying a used car” is found by people searching for exactly that.
Each post is another way in
A post is a page with its own address, title and description. The more useful pages you have, the more searches can lead to you.
It answers questions before the phone rings
Finance explained, how part-exchange works, what a service includes — written once, read by every buyer who wonders.
It shows a business that is busy
New arrivals, an event you are attending, a seasonal offer: fresh posts tell a visitor there is somebody home.
Writing
Two kinds of post, for two kinds of day
Use the quick one most of the time, and the page builder when a post deserves more.
Simple post
A picture and your words — the quickest way to publish an article.
- A title, a picture, and text with bold, links, headings and lists
- An optional summary for your blog list, or the opening of your text is used
- Save and publish in one click
Rich post
Built in the page builder — the same tool you build your pages with.
- Pictures beside your text, in columns
- A gallery, a video, or a row of your vehicles inside the article
- Shown as visitors will see it, with your blog’s sidebar alongside

Organised for readers, and for you
Categories
Group your posts by subject. Each category with a published post gets a page of its own on your blog.
Tags
Up to ten short labels per post, linking articles that share a subject across your categories. Each tag has a page listing its posts.
Find any post
Search your posts by title or summary, narrow the list by category, tag or status, and sort by any column.
Rename a category or a tag and its page keeps the same address, so any link to it still works.
Publishing
On your website when you want it, and off when you do not
Your blog starts as a draft, so an empty blog is never on show. Publish it when your first post is ready.
Draft, then publish
Save a draft and come back to it. A published post with edits waiting shows as “Live — unpublished changes” until you publish them.
Choose the post date
Leave it blank to use the day the post first goes live, or set an earlier date of your own.
Set an expiry date
For an offer or an event. The post stays on your site to the end of that day, then comes off by itself.
Unpublish any time
Take a post off your website in a click and put it back whenever you like.
One website, one set of tools
Your blog shares your design, your menus and your stock with the rest of your site.
