There are guidelines throughout the entire profile creation process to make everything clear and easy. Your profile is created in steps, one step to a page. You will save each page before moving to the next. You can jump to a specific page anytime by clicking on it in the list in the left sidebar. It’s also easy to preview what your published profile will look like at any point while you’re creating it. Create a basic profile if you choose, and return anytime to finish. Start with your Title and Description on this page (each field is 75 characters max). These are the 2 fields that appear with your photo in search results |
|
|
To help search engines find your profile, you can list words and phrases called “metatags” or keywords. They are information inserted into the “head” area of your profile page that is not seen by readers viewing your page in browsers, but is read by the search engines. More detailed suggestions are offered when you get to this point and it’s entirely optional. |
 |
|
This page lets you choose which specific categories you want and also any specialties associated with them. You may choose up to 3 categories if they are relevant.
|
|
|
You can list up to 3 addresses with your profile. A Google map will be generated for each with the ability for your reader to request directions from his or her location. Your email address will not be visible to deter spammers. A contact form will be generated for those wishing to email you and messages will be sent to the email address you list on this page.
|
|
|
You can upload your logo (optional) and up to 4 additional images if desired. Valid format is JPEG (.jpg) only. The image you designate as your “Default” will appear with your Title and Description when your profile is shown in search results. |
 |
|
Now you’ll begin completing the content fields in your profile. Each field has its own page in this process. There are fields available to accommodate all types of businesses and organizations. Use only those that apply to you and leave the rest blank. Only those you complete will appear in your published profile.
You’ll want to spend some time composing your “Introduction” section. This is probably the most important content to truly engage your readers and you should address your mission & philosphy here. Each content box automatically expands to accommodate more text if you need the room.
|
|
|
You’ll proceed page by page to complete any of the remaining 12 content fields. You can choose from:
The “Additional Information” content field (the final page) allows you to include anything not covered in previous fields, such as research, case studies, education about products or services, resource links, special offers or sales, recipes—or even menu items. Remember that you’re educating and inspiring your readers about what living a natural lifestyle is all about. Be creative. |
|
|
It’s really pretty straightforward. You can save and return any time to edit or update. You don’t have to publish your profile until it’s the way you want it. Or—complete basic fields and publish right away to get your profile visible and appearing in searches as soon as possible. It’s all up to you.
