Add direct links to your social media pages on your website.
If you have a page on any of the major social media platforms (Facebook, Google, Yelp, etc), they can be a great way to drive traffic to and from your site and keep web-based visitors within your business's online eco-system! This article will teach you how to add social media links to your GoSite website through the GoSite Sites Editor.
Before starting, log in to GoSite on a computer and open the GoSite Sites Builder.
Note: The GoSite Sites Editor is currently accessible through a desktop computer only. You cannot edit your website through the mobile app on Iphone, Android, or Tablets.
Table of Contents:
Note: Social media links can be added to any section of a website except the header or the banner (main photo at the top of your page).
-
Hover your mouse over the section that you would like to add the social media button(s) to and click on the pencil icon.
-
On the left-hand side under “Widgets”, find the “Social” widget and drag it to where you would like to place your social icons.
-
Click on each of the icons to bring up the "Social Icons Settings" on the left-hand side.
Note: The GoSite Sites Editor currently has icons for Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google Plus, Youtube, Yelp, LinkedIn, and Houzz.
-
For each Social Link, enter your business's personal URL link (if you have one) for that platform (i.e. yelp.com/gosite).
-
To edit which Social Links will be shown, find the platform in the dropdown menu and click on the slider to turn it on or off.
-
You can also edit the appearance of your icons based on your liking.
-
Once you have added a link to your button, make sure to press "Save" and then "Publish" to push your changes live!
