You can easily share your Blog Post with clients as well as integrate them directly onto your website (learn how to do this here). This article will go over how to add SEO descriptions and the various blog sharing options.

Add SEO
1. To begin, go to the specific Client Gallery and in the Photos tab, click to create a new blog post, or click the pencil icon to open the Blog Editor.
2. Click Share & SEO in the top right corner to open the sharing options.
3. Click Setup SEO.
4. Checkmark to Allow Indexing of this page to permit search engines to scan the page.
5. Then you will be able to edit the Blog name and SEO description.
Please Note: if you embed the blog post in your website, it is recommended to fill the SEO description both in the website and in your Pic-Time blog post.
6. Optional: If you are embedding your blog post, checkmark if you want only the version of the blog post on your website to be indexed. Then add the url where you’re embedding your blog post in the Canonical URL section.
For example: "https://www.yourdomain.com/blogs/kim-and-bill-wedding"
Search engines will point to this page.
7. Finally, add ALT Text to describe the most relevant images that you want to appear in search results (about 5 images). Then rename or click Auto-rename files to change the file name that’s displayed in the ALT Text. The auto-rename will automatically take the description text and use all of it to make a filename. ie description: "oregon coastal elopement" would change to the filename of "oregon-coastal-elopement".
Please Note: this will only change the filenames for the blog post only, not the original images in the gallery.
Then click Apply.
Share Blog Post Link
1. Click Get Link to copy the direct Blog Post link.
2. Checkmark if you want to Show “View Gallery” button in the post. Any visitors can click the link and depending on their permissions, will be able to view the gallery or log in to view.
3. Checkmark to enable the Lightbox for larger image viewing, and checkmark to enable the Pinterest button.
4. Then click Get Link to copy the link.
Promote on social media
1. Click Social Media Promo to create a video or images promoting your new Blog.
2. In the Videos tab, click Download the video to generate a 6 second long .mp4 file scrolling through your Blog Post.
3. Click the Images tab, then click on one of the mobile Blog Blocks to download a low-resolution image for social media only.
Please note that some image layouts will be more suited for social media than others.
