Brizy Cloud Permalink Patterns

Creating clear, readable, and easy to remember URLs enhances SEO and makes your site look professional and trustworthy. Brizy Cloud allows you to set a permlink pattern for your blog posts and custom assets. You also have the option to override the generic permalink pattern and assign a custom permalink. Using custom permalinks, you can also organize your pages under virtual folders and generate location specific slug for your pages to improve local SEO.   

Permalink Pattern for blog posts

To maintain consistent permalinks across all your blog posts, you must set a permalink pattern. To get started, click on the "gear" icon next to "All Posts" in the CMS menu.

In the "Asset slug" field, kindly add an appropriate slug for all your blog posts. If you would like your blog posts to have a permalink structure like www.domain.com/blog/blog-post-name, set Asset Slug as blog.

The next step is to set a "Permalink Pattern" for blog posts. To have URLs like /blog/blog-post-name for your blog posts, choose the following permalink pattern. 

/{collectionType.slug}/{slug}

{collectionType.slug} in the pattern refers to the Asset Slug, which is blog in our exampe. {slug} in the pattern refers to the blog post slug, which can be somthing like introducing-brizy-ai-for-wordpress. If your Asset Slug is "blog" and blog post' slug is "introducing-brizy-ai-for-wordpress", your blog post permalink will be /blog/introducing-brizy-ai-for-wordpress. See the screenshot below.

Permalink Pattern for custom assets

Permalink patterns for custom assets can be set following a similar process. Let's say you have a custom asset called "Recipes". Click on the "gear" icon next to "All Recipes" in the CMS menu.

Set an appropriate slug for your custom asset. If you like your recipes to have the permalink structure like www.domain.com/recipes/recipe-name, set your Asset Slug as recipes.

Then set a Permalink Pattern for your recipes. To set a URL structure like /recipes/recipe-name, kindly choose the "Permalink Pattern"

/{collectionType.slug}/{slug} 

{collectionType.slug} in the above pattern refers to the Asset Slug, which is recipes in our example. {slug} in the pattern refers to the recipe slug, which can be something like baked-sausage-breakfast-hash. If your Asset Slug is "recipes" and recipe slug is "baked-sausage-breakfast-hash" your recipe permalink will be /recipes/baked-sausage-breakfast-hash. See the screenshot below.

Custom Permalinks

Once you set a Permalink Pattern for your blog posts and custom assets, every time you add a new blog post/ custom asset, appropriate permalink will be automatically generated. However you can override the auto generated permalink for your blog post/custom asset, by manually typing a custom permalink. For example let's say the auto generated permalink for a recipe is

recipes/baked-sausage-breakfast-hash

You can set a custom permalink like /recipes/breakfast-brunch/baked-sausage-breakfast-hash by typing the new permalink in the Permalink field and clicking on the "Update" button.

Similarly you can set a custom permalink for blog posts as well. For example, let's say the auto generated permalink for a blog post is 

blog/introducing-brizy-ai-for-wordpress

You can set a custom permalink, like /blog/updates/introducing-brizy-ai-for-wordpress by typing the new permalink in the "Permalink" field

Custom Permalinks for Pages

Pages do not support Permalink Patterns, however you can add custom permalinks to pages. Custom permalinks for pages are useful for organizing your pages under different virtual folders and for generating Local SEO landing pages. Let us look at both use cases.

Let's say you offer multiple services and for each service, you have a dedicated service page. Using Custom Permalinks, you can organize all service pages under the slug /services/ as shown below.

To add custom permalinks for a page, click on the name of the page and type the required permalink in the "Permalink" field. 

Custom permalinks can also be used to create location-specific landing pages, web pages dedicated to a single city or neighborhood. They assist you in improving local SEO, especially when you do not have a physical address in that area. You can design SEO-friendly permalinks for different cities and neighborhoods based on a hierarchical structure that search engines and users can easily understand; something like 

https://example.com/[category]/[state-or-country]/[city]/[neighborhood]

and have different pages for different cities/neighborhoods and add custom permalinks to each page. For example, if you are offering web design services in and around washington, you could have pages with these custom permalinks

To add location-specific custom permalinks for a page, click on the name of the page and type the required permalink in the "Permalink" field.
