John, have you done a video about SEO ?… thanks for the video , very helpful !

[@dominiquerichardson]

you lowkey gave a seo class my man

[@jbivphotography]

Glad to hear it. I hope it was helpful!

[@johnclay7644]

informative 10mins+ on utilising blog / blogposts for website Thanks John.

[@jbivphotography]

Thanks so much! Also, thanks for watching.

[@carringtonvisuals2983]

I just got the email today from PicTime and I was going to set some time out this weekend to take a look and play around with this. But now seeing your video, I'm going to dive right in today to make use of this. This isn't the most glamorous of vids (not a negative, but because I know everyone loves the full wedding BTS vids as do I), but it was super informational and actually fits my workflow 100%. You're appreciated my man!

[@aprilgracecarino4189]

Hi I just want to ask what if you're not yet done with it and want to continue again tomorrow how will you save it? HELP!

[@christinawatkinsyoutube]

holy smokes this is so easy!! I am using pixieset and honestly not 100% happy.. maybe I should switch!

[@christinawatkinsyoutube]

so after watching this video, I switched to PicTime, and decided to build a website on Squarespace! Can't wait to use this in all its glory. Thanks John!

[@jbivphotography]

Awesome!! I hope everything works out for you!

[@08WaVeLiNePeArLtC]

The blogging is so dope and convenient! I need to tweak the colors and style. Haven't messed with that just yet

[@jbivphotography]

Yep. At first I was a little turned off until I realized you can tweak the colors and styles real easy. Then I was all in!

[@jasonmarkharris]

My only concern at the moment is seo, as to google the site will only have one photo embedded it’s the feature image. As all these shots are hosted on Pic-Time. So time will tell if the seo is as good via Pic-Time as it is locally hosted with alt tags etc.

[@jesuscaballero8711]

... and if you stop your subscription with Pic-time, I can imagine all your SEO will end too, right? @jasonmarkharris

[@NatyMidnight]

Oh wow! This is AMAZING!!!! Hopefully this will encourage me to blog more often 😅

[@jbivphotography]

LOL. Same for me. I’m like a year or 2 of weddings behind that I need to blog on my site.

[@williamsonproduction8493]

Thanks John. I love using Pic Time

[@jbivphotography]

You're welcome. I hope this was helpful!

[@williamsonproduction8493]

Extremely. I love using your natural feels presets. I just did an engagement shoot and used that preset and just adjusted it a bit to the clients liking.

[@rizkysawal]

Thanks for sharing, John!

[@jbivphotography]

My pleasure

[@aclora]

Ohh that video feature is clutch. I use Narrative publish right now and normally just go screen record myself going through the blog post but that's always a bit jittery. Thanks for the overview!

[@jbivphotography]

Yeah I didn't even know they had a video feature built in. Really cool stuff. Glad you enjoyed this overview!

[@jabaricain]

Excellent overview! Thank you!

[@jbivphotography]

Glad it was helpful!

[@malonephotography]

Love it ❤️ , thank you John～～

[@jbivphotography]

Glad you like it!

[@KenyattaDavisPhotography]

I just switched from pixieset to pic time and this is awesome.

[@sonicck]

Great video, I would like it if you go a little further with this in explaining the blog side things. Thank you again for this information.

[@jbivphotography]

Sounds good. I'd love to make a video about it!

[@diegosoto4208]

Good evening, sorry for my ignorance but how did you add it to the square space? Meaning what page or collection are you using to create this? I can’t find a place to add the code to? Sorry for my ignorance I’m not that good with creating websites.

[@darrellcassell]

Love this. Hard to make the switch from Pixieset with thier use of contracts and invoicing, but this defintely makes me jealous.

[@jbivphotography]

Totally understand. I’m actually curious to see where a lot of these services go in the future. It looks like a lot of newer services coming out are trying to package everything together in one suite so you get the full business experience.

[@samatardavidbndphotofilm]

What??? I always struggled showing alot more photos on my website. Thank you John!

[@jbivphotography]

This is going to be super helpful to get more content on your website easily. Time for me to catch up on a lot of my past weddings and get them up on the site now!

[@GaryPopejr]

Oh this is super badass! I'm just curious about how it might effect SEO. Such as if it is slow to load on pages, if it includes alt-tags or the names of the files, etc, etc.

[@jbivphotography]

Interesting. I’ll have to look into this further.

[@brambleandvine]

I agree! I have Pic Time and am not sure how Google will crawl my blog to see the SEO. I mean which is better if you want your SEO to rank you high on Google? Stick with posting on with Wordpress or embed A Pic Time Blog? No way to use Yoast on this to check your SEO. Just looks cosmetically pleasing. Would like to see if a Pic Time blog can get to the front page of Google.

[@tatianaverbiesen]

Hi John, it would be great if you can make a video on SEO, thankss!

[@SebastianReichenbach]

This video is so helpful. Can't thank you enough.

[@jbivphotography]

Glad it was helpful!

[@DajuanJones]

That's pretty cool!

[@jbivphotography]

I always love to see new features being dropped by my favorite companies.

[@NanaHoneyB]

Thank you so much for this video!!

[@websiteckron8591]

Hi sounds great! Is this only for US market?

[@TheresAGirlInTheGardens]

Please make the SEO video!! ❤

[@ecphotography937]

seems very convenient and useful, but the big trade off is becoming dependent on pic time if you ever decide to switch services down the road or if for some reason pic time gets ran over by a competitor in the next few years, your blog posts can potentially seize to exist. Better to host them locally imo.

[@fuenz1204]

Wow this is sooo helpful - definitely going to use this feature on our website! & yes to an SEO / blogging video 😅

[@jbivphotography]

Awesome! Sounds great. It’s a pretty cool feature. I always love to see the products I use upgrading.

[@JWolloscheck]

John - Do you use pic time separately from your wedding photography website? Are they one in the same? Or is this just used to email and deliver the photos?

[@ColeyLox]

So helpful! Thank you always!

[@jbivphotography]

Glad to hear it was helpful! Always happy to help.

[@TheLoekp]

Thank you John !!

[@jbivphotography]

You’re welcome! I appreciate that super and hope this information was helpful!!

[@sophiejanemusic.]

Love this video🤩 I’ve put the code into my blog section of my website but I’m unsure what to do from there because it doesn’t show up. How do I check to see if it has worked?

[@SamanthaMelanson]

Thank you for this and all of your other content, John! Is the "Photos" section of your website your blog? Also, do you think it's important for SEO to include text with blog posts in 2023 and do you feel Squarespace is as good as WordPress for blogging? Thanks again! :)

[@jasonmarkharris]

My worry seo wise is that google will only see one feature image on the post. As the photos are hosted elsewhere but time will tell how well this feature works with seo

[@martharetallick204]

Me? I save my blog for other things, like my forthcoming book about water harvesting. But I do put my best wedding photos on the home page of my event photography site, which is a Photoshelter site.

[@martharetallick204]

My blog runs on WordPress, which I have used since 2007.

[@alexispauwels1239]

Hey John, it's a great video ! I tried posting a blog on my website with wordpress but is it possible that Yoast doesn't recognize the texte? But Google will recognize the text I put in code form on my blogpost? I don't have the option, 'show view gallery button, how did you get it? Thank you very much again for your help and this amazing video !

[@therandysmith697]

How can I integrate this with square space? And do you think I should move my website to 7.1? I have a high traffic site on the old version

[@onlyfacts4me]

If someone clicks on a blog post that is on your website, would that give your website better google-scores because they spend time on your website? Or does it link to pic-times website and steer traffic off your page?

[@Thai.H]

Yeah but most of these features are already in Adobe portfolio so what's the benefit of me switching?

[@jbivphotography]

If you don’t feel there’s a reason to switch than there isn’t one. However Pic-Time helps with delivering your images to your couples and also marketing your photos for the easy sale of prints. That’s the MAIN reason to use it.

[@matthydephotography9742]

Any idea why this might not be showing up in my pictime? There's no Blog option available :(

[@jbivphotography]

It’s not out just yet but they should be releasing today.

[@matthydephotography9742]

@@jbivphotography amazing, thanks!!

[@brambleandvine]

You need to have the advanced tier with PICTIME. Not the basic blog account. Basic blog will not let you embed this. Advanced account will.

[@HazyChestNutz]

For some reason, on my squarespace website when editing it properly shows the gallery blog post, but it doesn't show the gallery when out of editor when visiting (when logged out), It only shows the gallery when i refresh the page on the website. Even in other devices, Odd behavior, how to fix?
