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.
