Blog
Definition
The blog feature lets a Hibu One Smart Site publish articles (posts). Existing posts from another site can be imported when a compatible RSS feed is available.
Blog — Availability & Ownership
- Every Hibu One Smart Site includes a blog option.
- The blog becomes visible on the live site only after at least one post is published.
- If the client purchases Local Ranking, Hibu enables the blog and may write posts as part of that service.
- Without Local Ranking, the blog is DIY: the client can write and publish their own posts.
- Hibu does not write posts unless Local Ranking is purchased.
Blog — What Visitors See
- No live blog page appears until a post is published.
- Once published, posts appear wherever a blog listing is placed on the site.
Importing Blog Posts
- Hibu can import posts from an old Hibu site or, in some cases, from a third-party website via a valid RSS feed.
- From an old Hibu site: all posts can be imported (no platform limit).
- From third-party sites (subject to platform limits and feed quality):
- WordPress: up to the most recent 110 posts.
- FindLaw: up to the most recent 10 posts.
- Other platforms: import may not be possible if the “blog” is actually static pages.
- Overall RSS import cap: up to 300 posts per import.
- What typically imports: text (H1/H2/H3, paragraphs), post title, meta description, post URL/name, author, and date. Images, videos, and other HTML elements may or may not carry over.
- Imported posts arrive as drafts and must be published by the client after the site is live.
- Styling is not guaranteed to match the old site (fonts, colors, spacing, and formatting may differ).
Examples
- A WordPress blog with 250 posts → the most recent 110 can be imported.
- If the old “blog” is just a set of static pages → import not supported.
SEO Facts
- Each post automatically generates SEO-friendly schema markup when published.
- Posts include editable meta titles, descriptions, tags, and URLs to help with search visibility.
