Types of Content Blocks

Types of Content Blocks

Each content block has its own purpose, and they all do different things. It's important to know what each block does so that you can make sure you're getting the right type of content.


List of content blocks you can use

Address: Input your company's address or link your Business Profile address to easily show your location or a Google Map.

Items: Add an items list if you want to showcase more than one item or easily create a list of products/listings. (Note: If you are linking to one of the items on the items list somewhere else on your website, and end up deleting that item from the list, that linking will no longer work. Since that item from the list does not technically exist anymore, you will need to change the linking information or recreate the item.)

Resources: Easily show one of the PDFs or resources from your Resource Collection.

Simple List: Much like the Items list, showcase a list of information/listings. Unlike the Items list, where linking to another page requires a bit more work, this list allows you to easily link information within the block itself.

Social: After integrating your accounts in the Settings area, add your social media feeds.

Social Icons: Unlike the social block, you cannot show your social media feeds with this content block. Instead, this block is used to show icons of different social media accounts, so visitors can easily click on the page they'd like to go to and the browser will open it in another window.
