How to Turn On the Search Icon:

1. Log in to your PhotoBiz account.

2. Click WEBSITE from the left-hand menu.

3. At the top of the page, click the SETTINGS tab.

4. Click SEARCH/CART to open the icon display settings.

Choose How the Search Icon Displays:

Search Display Options:

If you select "With Site Links," choose how it should appear:

Make Blog Posts Searchable

Good news: you don’t need to manually add keywords to blog posts—PhotoBiz automatically includes them in search results.

To help your blog posts appear in relevant searches:

• Use clear, descriptive titles (avoid vague titles like "Post #1" or "Thoughts Today").

• Include relevant keywords and phrases within the blog content.

• Write naturally and focus on topics your audience is likely to search for.(Example: “How to Prepare for Your Maternity Shoot”)

FINAL TIP

By enabling the on-site search tool and adding keywords to your content, you’ll help your visitors find exactly what they’re looking for—making their experience smoother and boosting engagement across your website.
