Editing Service Page Content

How to Edit Service Page Content in 3local

Before beginning, ensure:

  • You are logged into your 3local dashboard.
  • Your service pages have been generated (either manually or via AI).
  • You are familiar with the services and locations you’re editing.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Access the Service Pages

  • From the 3local dashboard, you can:
    • Edit services directly via the main dashboard, or
    • Click “My Services” in the left-hand menu.

2. Preview and Choose a Service to Edit

  • Browse the list of services.
  • Use the “Preview” button to view what the AI-generated content looks like.
  • Once you've chosen a page to update, click “Edit” on the corresponding service.

3. Edit Service Page Settings

  • The Edit page opens with basic fields:
    • Service Name
    • Menu Item Text
    • URL Slug
  • If these look good, proceed to Location Page Content by clicking the appropriate tab at the top.

4. Edit Metadata and Main Content

  • In the Location Page Content tab, you’ll see:
    • Meta Title
    • Meta Description
    • Main Page Content

These fields are pre-filled by AI but can be customised.

Use of Shortcodes:

  • Shortcodes are used to dynamically populate:
    • Location names
    • Service names
    • Contact info

To insert shortcodes easily:

  • Click the shortcode menu provided above the editor.
  • Clicking a shortcode will automatically insert it into the content field.

⚠️ Ensure your content retains the correct shortcodes to preserve dynamic location-based customisation.

5. Review Content and Save

  • Scroll through the full content section, including embedded elements like the map at the bottom.
  • If you're happy with the layout and messaging:
  • Click “Save and Back.”

6. Preview the Page

  • Back on the services dashboard, click “Preview” again.
  • Remember: this preview is not yet live. It simply shows the draft.
  • Click any of the active location links to check how content renders per location (including map, links, and calls-to-action).

7. Repeat for Other Services

  • Return to the My Services page.
  • Repeat the above process for each additional service you'd like to customise.
