Swav Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Dear Squarespace family :) I'm planning to edit images on my website https://www.swav.ie/ .. by editing I mean, either way add it or not into specific categories and tags. Is there a way to do it in one bulk session? manually entering each image takes a lot of time.. is there a panel of which I can see/edit/all images at once? and then click/unclick category/tag ..hmmm.. I will appreciate your reply big time! Cheers from Ireland, Swav. Link to comment

Is there a way to do it in one bulk session? As your site is built on an older Squarespace 7.0 template called Forte (2013) you can tag and categorise images in Gallery Pages but you can only do this manually on an image by image basis. On Squarespace 7.1 sites, tags and categories cannot be added to images. 2 hours ago, Swav said: is there a panel of which I can see/edit/all images at once? The Asset Library panel in the Home menu shows all images and videos you've uploaded to your site, but you cannot manage tags and categories from within the Library. Also, if you edit an image, it makes a copy; it does not change the original image that is being used on your site. I hope this helps. Did this help?

Swav Posted January 20, 2023 Author Share Posted January 20, 2023 WOW.. Thanks for reply Paul. All I can do is leave it as it is for now.. and find out which way to go next.. maybe wordpress? been asked a couple of questions about SEO, a friend of mine is web designer, but honestly I don't like websites full of content, simple gallery to me is fine.. perhaps I won't be able to improve my rankings based on pictures only :) Enjoy your coffee!

paul2009 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) If you can provide a few details about what you are trying to achieve by adding categories - in other words, your overall goal - there may be alternative or better ways to achieve it. I'll be happy to reply with options (if there are some 🙂). Edited January 20, 2023 by paul2009 Swav 1 About me: I've been a SQSP User for 18 yrs.

Swav Posted January 20, 2023 Author Share Posted January 20, 2023 I kept my website as a gallery/portfolio and never updated categories/tags/etc.. pictures were uploaded and automatically set with random number .../972nzblh2zocrys54sxydtgjt9v5yz [ image settings/options/image url: ] my links were also not helpful for google.. so my first approach was to change links into something that makes sense (with human in mind = description) I'm wondering (if) I should spend some time.. and add categories/tags of pictures manually or just leave it as it is.. (if) no positive impact for google.. That's all. Cheers! PS There is a room for improvement within squarespace panel with extra options :) Link to comment
paul2009 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 The site is beautiful and exudes quality. If I wasn't two hours north of you, I'd hire you! However, I worry that visitors won't find your site in a search for the services you offer. I don't think the lack of categories is a major issue but I would strongly recommend adding more written content that describes the services that you offer and includes the keywords that users will be searching for. For example: add more to the About page that describes your services, including a specific "what we/I do" section add more blog posts, one for each type of project you have worked on and the services you provided, like "We/I provided interior design services", "a Professional Painting service" and so on.

Swav Posted January 21, 2023 Author Share Posted January 21, 2023 Yes. I'll add more specific content.. and a couple of blog posts. Google business page is also on my mind, but we are changing house and have to wait until all paper work is done. Cheers! paul2009 1 Link to comment
