Figure 33.1 The News Manager.

Click Add News to write an article:

  • Article Title and URL Slug for each language. The slug is generated from the title when empty.
  • Article Content in the visual editor. With AI enabled, the AI Writing Assistant drafts the article from the title and your notes.
  • Cover Image, shown on the Blog page and when the article is shared.
  • Active (Published), to publish or hide the article.

Write for the searches your visitors make: "best bakeries in Portland", "how to choose a wedding photographer", "new businesses in town this month". Link to the listings you mention; businesses like being featured and share the article.
