How to Set Up On-Site Search & Add Keywords to Help Customers Find Blog Posts, Scheduler Services, Products, and Services

Overview

PhotoBiz includes a built-in on-site search feature that helps visitors find searchable content on your website. This can include blog posts, Scheduler services, eCommerce products, and eCommerce services.

This guide walks you through how to enable the search icon on your website and how to add keywords, tags, and searchable terms to your content. Adding clear search terms helps customers find what they need faster, whether they are looking for a product, session type, booking option, or blog post.

On-site search only applies to supported content that includes searchable information, such as titles, descriptions, search keywords, and tags. It does not search all website content automatically.

What On-Site Search Can Find

PhotoBiz on-site search can include the following content types:

Blog Posts
ECommerce Products
ECommerce Services
Scheduler Services

Search results may be based on:

Titles
Descriptions
Search keywords
Product tags
Service tags
Scheduler tags
Blog tags

Important Notes About On-Site Search

On-site search does not search every block or area of your website.

The search tool does not search content inside:

Image Blocks
List Blocks
Client Galleries
Forms
Other non-searchable website builder blocks

For the best results, add clear keywords and tags to your searchable content. Use words your customers are likely to type when looking for that item, service, session, or topic.

STEP ONE

Enable the On-Site Search Feature

This opens your Website Builder, where you can manage pages, design settings, and navigation tools for your website.

Inside the Website Builder, locate SITE LINKS / ICONS in the left panel. You will find this option below your website pages and above your footer settings.

Click SITE LINKS / ICONS to open the settings panel on the right side of the screen. In the right-side settings panel, click the SEARCH/CART tab.

In the Search settings, choose where the search icon should appear on your website. Select No to hide the search icon, With Social Media Icons to display the search icon next to your social media icons, or With Site Links to display the search icon alongside your navigation links.

If you choose With Site Links, you can also choose how the search feature appears. The available display styles are Button, Icon Only, Text and Icon, and Text Only.

Click SAVE CHANGES to apply your search settings.

STEP FIVE

Make Blog Posts Searchable

Blog posts are automatically included in your site’s search results. You can improve how they appear in searches by using blog tags and strong keywords in your posts.

How to Improve Blog Search Results:

Add blog tags related to each post topic (e.g., maternity, wedding, behind the scenes).
Use clear, descriptive titles (avoid vague titles like “Post #1”).
Include relevant keywords and phrases in your blog content.
Write naturally and focus on topics your audience is likely to search for.
