As many people have said, this is a great tutorial. Thank you. But as others have also said, i.e. Ro Cu , 2 weeks ago, Canva looks very diffrent, after a recent upopdate and at the moment I struggle to find templates, photos, etc so, really, almost holding my breath, while waiting for an update to the tutorial, that I can actually use

[@rankingacademy]

Hi Calin. I will work on it

[@calincristea2935]

Wow another fantastic video from absolutely the best channel on KZbin. This is another instant classic video . If you want to make a Post for gmb what is the Size of it and could you use a Facebook template to fit this area? Do you know the area size of the photo that is the first one that is on the free web sitesite your your gmb. I'm new to all of this and it's very helpful. Thank you and keep up the great videos coming

[@rankingacademy]

Many thanks. To create google posts I suggest you use custom dimensions using these as a guidelines Default Size - 720 x 540 pixels Maximum Size - 2120 x 1192 pixels Minimum Size - 480 x 270 pixels Aspect Ratio - 4:3 You will need to check the outcome as Google tends to chop some of the photos depending on whether it's being viewed on a desktop or mobile. After a bit of trial and error I am sure you'll get there

[@Nordicsingerabroad]

@@rankingacademy Noted! Then maybe the flaw was from my side, thanks for checking

[@momsmushroomsjodyfoster5786]

Would you say canva is better for creating online content? Or better for creating things that need to be printed? Like business cards or products labels? While I admit I have very little ability in this area, I cannot seem to find the proper size requirements for my label. I need a label that is 4 1/2 in Long and 2 inches high. As I'm designing this for a 2oz glass bottle. The only label templates I have been able to locate are either the 3 by 2 or the 4 by 6 inch. Possibly I'm looking in the wrong place. Help me please I'm getting so frustrated and discouraged

[@rankingacademy]

I use canva for digital purposes as opposed to printing so it would be very difficult or me to give you any sound advice, sorry

Also is there a way I can keep all my work in the same place or on the same page? It seems every time I do something new it opened a whole new page or window whatever you call it until I end up with ten or fifteen different pages

[@rankingacademy]

Every time you start a new design it opens a different window which makes sense. It's like starting a new drawing. You'll need a new blank page each time. All your designs are automatically saved. Just go to the canva home page, you'll find them listed there.

[@momsmushroomsjodyfoster5786]

Dear Luc, over past 6 days, I am seeing that my clients' reviews are not getting live. I saw your video about that. Some of my client consult with me online, or telephonically since my hospital also offers tele-medicine and counselling services. How can I get their reviews and make them live? Any ideas?

[@2008devu]

Dear Luc, I did read this article. In fact, I remember that you had published a video on this topic in recent past. What about businesses, who do a lot of consultations online, and have never met their clients personally? For eg, I stay about four thousand miles from you, yet my review was posted on your GMB

Even when you install software on your computer you'll still have to pay a subscription these days.

[@tamarascoloringcoven718]

So how can you use it if nothing on there is free you have to pay to remove water marks, you have to pay for the damn platform, you have to pay to use even YOUR own pics as I tried & was told it would cost me $$ so NO this is NOT free in anyway shape or form!

[@rankingacademy]

Sounds like you must be doing something wrong. Using your own pictures is free, there is a library of free images, there are tones of free elements etc...

you talk much too fast to follow.
