Pages and Popups

The Pages and Popups section is a major part of your site.

• Pages allows you to reorder, manage and create new pages in your site. Organize your site's widgets by using multiple pages to improve your visitors' experience and increases the chance that they will find the information they need.
• Popups allows you to add new popups to your site. Popups are a type of small window that appears in a web page. Popups can be set up to appear when clicked as a link or automatically as an action from a personalization rule. Use popups to grab user's attention or provide information without having to change pages.

To access pages and popups, in the left panel, click Pages.

For more information on how to manage pages, see the following video:

SEO

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the visibility of a site or a web page in a search engine's un-paid search results. Sometimes this is called "natural" or "organic" traffic. From the Site's SEO menu, you can edit the page Title, Description, and Keywords. You can also edit the header HTML for that page only. For more information, see Site SEO Settings.

We recommend adding SEO information (title and descriptions) on the page level, so each page can have a unique title and description. This is more beneficial than having one title and description shared across the entire site.

Prevent Search Engines from Indexing a Page

For maximum SEO benefits, all pages of your site are discoverable by search engines. However, if you would like to instruct search engines to drop or not include this page in their index after they crawl the page, you can do that in the page settings.

1. In the left panel, click Pages.
2. Click the settings () icon for the specific page.
3. Click SEO.
4. Click the No Index toggle. This instructs search engines to drop or not include this page in their index after they crawl the page.

This action will only affect a single page. You will need to mark this setting for each page you do not want to be indexed.

Popups

Add Popups

To add popups:

1. In the left panel, click Pages, and then click the Popups tab.
2. Click + New Popup.
3. Select a popup type. The popup type pre-populates the popup with widgets.
4. Type a name for your popup, and click + Add Popup.

Activate Popups

Unlike a page generated in the navigation automatically, a popup can only be triggered by being clicked as a link or by using a site personalization rule.

Link to a Popup

There are several widgets that allow you to link to a popup, such as Photo Gallery image links, text, and buttons.

To link to a popup:

1. Right-click the widget that you want to link to the popup from, then select Edit content. Alternatively, if you are linking from text, highlight the desired text and click the link icon in the text editing menu.

2. Click Popup, then select which popup you want to link to from the dropdown menu.

Use Personalization Rules to Condition a Popup

You can create a popup using site personalization or set personalization rules for an existing popup. Personalization rules can include what triggers the popup to appear, how quickly the popup appears on the screen, and more.

To learn how to create personalization rules, see Personalization Rules.

Edit Popups

A popup is very similar to a page. You can add new rows, columns and insert any widget into a popup. To adjust the size of the popup, drag the bottom right corner.

Popup Settings

To edit the settings for a popup:

1. In the left panel, click Pages, and then click the Popups tab.
2. Click the settings () icon for specific popup. You have the following options:
   • Rename. Rename the popup in the editor.

   • Note

     This does not change the page URL.

   • Duplicate. Creates an exact copy of the popup.
   • Delete. Deletes the popup. This action is irreversible unless you have a backup.
