We\'re almost at the end of the month! Here\'s a look at everything we\'ve done through the end of September until now. 

The Pagecloud team is always working to improve your website building experience including adding new features, feature enhancements, and fixing bugs that pop up along the way. 

Semrush Integration 

We’ve teamed up with Semrush to give our users the opportunity to increase their websites traffic through keyword research. Your website is your greatest marketing asset, and both organic and paid keywords are great ways to get more site visits and new customers.

Designing a website and optimizing your website for search engines go hand-in-hand. That’s why we’ve integrated Semrush’s powerful SEM tools into your Pagecloud website builder, so you can optimize your website as you continue to expand. Get started in the SEO tab in your editor. 

Search and favorite keywords to include on your website! You can sort your keywords in a few ways which include: 

  • Volume: Shows the amount of times a keyword has been searched per month 
  • Number of results: Shows the number of results that appear in Google when you search that term
  • Keyword Difficulty (KD): Shows how difficult it would be to target that keyword based on current competition 
  • Cost per Click (CPC): Shows how much it would cost to pay for each click on your ad

Ecommerce

  • Fixed a bug where the cart button widget was showing improperly when the “Show on empty cart” toggle was deselected.

UI/UX Improvements

Pasting a link updates:

Try this out by copying a link to your clipboard and the selecting an object in your Pagecloud editor and Pasting using the keyboard hotkeys (ctrl+v on Windows, or cmd+v on macOS)
