Writing Blog Posts

Writing Blog Posts

Blog posts help drive traffic to your store through search engines and give customers a reason to return. Nuvi's blog editor makes it easy to create, organize, and publish content.

Creating a Blog Post

1. Navigate to Press (or Blog) in the admin sidebar.
2. Click "New Post".
3. Enter a Title — make it descriptive and keyword-rich.
4. Write your content using the rich text editor.
5. Add an Excerpt — a 1-2 sentence summary shown in listings.

Organizing with Categories and Tags

Use categories and tags to organize your blog:

• Categories — Broad topics (e.g., "Tutorials", "News", "Product Updates"). Each post should have at least one category.
• Tags — Specific keywords (e.g., "shipping", "returns", "summer-sale"). Use tags for cross-cutting topics.

To assign a category, select it from the category dropdown when editing a post. For tags, type the tag name and press Enter.

Featured Image

Every blog post should have a featured image. This image appears:

• At the top of the blog post page
• In blog listing pages as a thumbnail
• When the post is shared on social media

Recommended size: 1200x630px for optimal display across all contexts.

SEO Optimization

At the bottom of the editor, fill in:

• Meta Title — If different from the post title (keep under 60 characters).
• Meta Description — A search-friendly summary (keep under 160 characters).
• URL Slug — Keep it short and include your main keyword.

Publishing and Scheduling

Posts can be saved as Draft, Published, or Archived:

• Draft — Work in progress, not visible on storefront.
• Published — Live and visible to visitors.
• Archived — Hidden from listings but URL still accessible.
