Skip the Manual Work: How to Use the NLM Plugin with WordPress
Read full transcrip:
00:00:00.480 Welcome to my session that is all about
00:00:03.280 skipping the manual work. So what you’re
00:00:06.000 going to see here is the future of
00:00:08.080 marketing just as I’ve said in the
00:00:11.120 beginning of the event. So you know I’m
00:00:13.519 really happy that you’ve made it here
00:00:14.799 today and that you’ve decided to join us
00:00:16.880 because
00:00:18.560 um you can actually do a lot of things
00:00:20.800 even with the plug-in for WordPress that
00:00:23.039 we’ve developed for next level
00:00:24.480 marketing. So it’s important to note
00:00:26.640 that you don’t need to have WordPress to
00:00:28.640 use Next Level. So that’s very important
00:00:31.599 to know. But if you do use Next Level
00:00:35.360 Marketing and you do use WordPress, then
00:00:38.000 it only makes sense to actually get the
00:00:39.840 plug-in because it will make the
00:00:41.680 automation all the more integrated and
00:00:44.879 all the more powerful.
00:00:46.960 And with a lot of feedback that we had
00:00:48.960 from our users uh and our clients over
00:00:52.079 these last few months, we’ve actually
00:00:54.399 done tons of improvements. There’s
00:00:56.559 another session during the event where
00:00:58.480 you can see that. But it’s really
00:01:00.879 important to know that right now this
00:01:02.559 plug-in is very very different than what
00:01:05.199 we’ve started with. So in general
00:01:07.920 settings,
00:01:10.240 uh you you now have something that’s
00:01:12.400 really cool and it’s called enable auto
00:01:15.520 schedule. So you can turn it off, you
00:01:18.400 can turn it back on, and you can play
00:01:20.400 with it. So it even tells you what it
00:01:23.200 does. The idea is that if you turn this
00:01:26.320 to on,
00:01:28.159 everything that you send from
00:01:32.159 the web app of Next Level, actually
00:01:34.320 every time you decide to approve a piece
00:01:37.520 of content and you say that you will
00:01:39.119 publish it using our plug-in,
00:01:42.240 um, it gets sent here. So that’s the
00:01:45.200 usual behavior. So you go and do that in
00:01:47.119 the web app. You approve it and then it
00:01:50.240 automatically sends it here. Now it is
00:01:53.920 that all of these things have a status
00:01:56.159 and some of them don’t actually get
00:01:58.880 published unless you go and you click on
00:02:02.079 the schedule button.
00:02:08.080 Of course these are already published.
00:02:09.520 That’s why I can find the schedule
00:02:10.800 button. But you go and you have to
00:02:13.680 manually do that. So that’s how the
00:02:16.560 article currently enters here. And then
00:02:19.280 you would have to click schedule and
00:02:20.800 then it will go to the scheduling
00:02:22.319 section.
00:02:24.160 But you don’t want that right now. Okay,
00:02:29.680 we’re going back and we have this list.
00:02:31.760 So some people actually want to make
00:02:34.080 sure that everything is perfect here in
00:02:37.360 author, you know, the post and the
00:02:39.599 category
00:02:41.440 and they want to make sure that you know
00:02:43.599 the titles, descriptions,
00:02:46.959 um, and the keywords are placed
00:02:49.200 properly.
00:02:51.519 Okay, so that’s why sometimes it’s
00:02:53.920 important to actually have this. So this
00:02:55.920 keyword, this is not a meta keywords.
00:02:57.920 This is not for the meta keywords. This
00:03:00.160 is actually to integrate with the rest
00:03:02.000 of your system.
00:03:04.000 So this will actually get your keyword
00:03:06.879 inside Squirly SEO which will further
00:03:09.599 the automation capabilities of the
00:03:11.840 platform. That’s why I said that you can
00:03:13.360 skip the manual work because by having
00:03:16.480 next level inside of your WordPress, you
00:03:19.040 continue the automation and you enhance
00:03:20.959 everything that you have on your
00:03:22.319 website.
00:03:25.599 Right? Well, if you go to general
00:03:28.239 settings, so you can play around with
00:03:30.720 this if you really want to play around.
00:03:33.120 But if you already believe and you
00:03:34.879 already know everything is done
00:03:36.720 perfectly, then you can even skip this
00:03:39.120 step and your marketing will become all
00:03:41.280 the more integrated because we’ve
00:03:43.200 created this option.
00:03:45.360 And you don’t have to do what I’ve done
00:03:48.080 uh just just before when I clicked on
00:03:50.080 those panels. You don’t have to care
00:03:51.599 about it anymore. You just select one of
00:03:53.760 the authors
00:03:55.680 from the list and then you can say post
00:03:59.280 and then decide on the category and you
00:04:02.159 will be able to select a category that
00:04:04.080 makes sense
00:04:06.080 um for your site. So let’s say post of
00:04:10.159 taco culture
00:04:12.080 and it’s already saved. So you don’t
00:04:13.760 have to click any button here. It’s
00:04:15.439 already saved in the database. So right
00:04:18.079 now if I go inside the web app and I
00:04:20.880 send some content here it’s going to
00:04:23.680 arrive
00:04:25.280 and after a very short while it’s going
00:04:28.000 to get automatically published. It’s
00:04:30.080 after a very short while because in the
00:04:32.240 back end we’ve created a system that
00:04:34.960 actually helps WordPress work because
00:04:37.600 the basic WordPress that you get and
00:04:40.000 that everybody gets without our plug-in
00:04:42.800 doesn’t know how to create automatic
00:04:45.199 events. It needs people to be on the
00:04:48.400 website browsing your website for their
00:04:51.360 script to work and create a sort of
00:04:53.199 crown job. Those who are technical will
00:04:56.000 understand this, but the idea is that
00:04:58.080 without our plug-in, WordPress cannot
00:05:00.320 function fully automatically. And with
00:05:03.120 our plug-in, we actually make requests
00:05:04.880 to it every 15 minutes. So that’s why
00:05:07.120 sometimes you will see that there’s a
00:05:08.800 short delay uh between getting an
00:05:11.440 article here and then it having the
00:05:14.240 scheduled
00:05:15.919 um status. So it will remain in draft
00:05:18.639 for a while until the system picks it up
00:05:21.919 in case you don’t have traffic. Uh we’ve
00:05:24.240 built this into WordPress ourselves and
00:05:26.400 into the plug-in. So this is another
00:05:28.800 reason why the current version of the
00:05:30.880 plug-in is actually fantastic.
00:05:33.280 Now, if somebody if something actually
00:05:35.360 arrives here, you can actually skip the
00:05:37.440 manual works. You don’t even need to do
00:05:38.960 this anymore because I’ve just shown you
00:05:41.280 how you can do it all from here.
00:05:44.479 And
00:05:46.080 uh the content will actually enter the
00:05:48.000 scheduled post. So, you will see it
00:05:49.440 here. And this is everything that you
00:05:51.600 will have with the status scheduled.
00:05:54.240 Now, if you go to schedule
00:05:57.680 and you set this once, you can say like,
00:06:01.199 I want any new content that arrives here
00:06:03.919 to be published on Tuesday and Thursday.
00:06:06.160 So, I’m going to remove Saturday. I no
00:06:08.639 longer want Saturday. And I want them
00:06:11.120 published at let’s say 6
00:06:14.880 6 p.m. And I will click on save. The
00:06:17.520 data is saved. And now once this
00:06:20.400 happens, everything inside here is
00:06:23.440 actually going to be rescheduled by our
00:06:26.160 system according to the new rules that
00:06:28.800 you have set here. Now the the beauty of
00:06:32.080 it is that once you set this logic here,
00:06:36.160 so once you have this rule here,
00:06:39.199 you no longer need to go and manually do
00:06:41.759 things. You don’t manually have to go
00:06:44.560 and click on the all post section inside
00:06:48.080 WordPress. You don’t have to play around
00:06:49.680 with this anymore. You don’t you don’t
00:06:51.440 even need to care about it anymore
00:06:55.120 because all you will need to do is
00:06:57.680 actually going to get done for you by
00:07:00.800 this by this panel right here because
00:07:02.880 you already have the rule. So everything
00:07:04.800 that comes in is going to get
00:07:07.199 automatically scheduled and published
00:07:09.360 according to the rules. And then
00:07:14.240 everything that comes in this other
00:07:15.680 section
00:07:22.319 is going to get automatically sent to
00:07:25.759 the other section by the plug-in and the
00:07:28.720 automations that we have built. So I
00:07:32.000 hope that this didn’t sound confusing or
00:07:34.479 complicated. The idea is that if you
00:07:37.440 really want to skip all the work, you
00:07:39.520 can now fully do that. And once you send
00:07:42.400 something to WordPress, you don’t even
00:07:44.560 need to care about it anymore because
00:07:46.639 this system ensures that everything is
00:07:49.360 going to get published without even
00:07:51.919 touching buttons or doing things uh
00:07:54.879 inside of WordPress anymore. So that’s
00:07:57.280 like the full power of the new
00:07:58.960 automations that we’ve built inside
00:08:01.759 WordPress. Now other really cool things
00:08:04.240 are the fact that you know when
00:08:07.599 something hits WordPress even even if
00:08:10.080 you touch this or you don’t touch this
00:08:12.879 uh the title is going to get picked up
00:08:15.120 Squirly SEO is going to automatically
00:08:18.639 complete the snippet section for this
00:08:21.680 piece of content using the meta title
00:08:24.319 that you have here.
00:08:26.479 Now also it will complete the meta
00:08:29.120 description
00:08:31.039 and um it will complete the keyword. Now
00:08:34.880 this keyword is only used in Squirly SEO
00:08:39.440 in the snippet for the purpose of making
00:08:42.159 sure that the keyword is found in the
00:08:44.240 title and in the description of the
00:08:46.240 post. It’s not about Google here. This
00:08:48.320 is about making Squirly SEO um capable
00:08:51.839 of doing the checks that it needs to do
00:08:53.839 and to make sure and also help you as a
00:08:56.160 user to make sure that you’ve actually
00:08:57.680 done the keywords that you actually want
00:08:59.839 to do because there are many types of
00:09:01.440 keywords that you could be using for a
00:09:02.800 page and you need to make sure that
00:09:04.800 exactly your target actually shows
00:09:07.600 inside the snippet. So that’s why Next
00:09:10.080 Level does this. But to push this
00:09:12.399 further, next level actually takes this
00:09:15.839 keyword and places it into your Squirly
00:09:18.560 SEO live assistant. It also takes this
00:09:21.680 keyword and
00:09:24.399 it places it inside your briefcase. So
00:09:26.800 in Squirly SEO in your briefcase, you
00:09:29.279 actually don’t need to go and manually
00:09:31.279 add this anymore because our plug-in
00:09:33.760 will do that for you. So it saves up a
00:09:36.000 lot of time that you would normally
00:09:38.480 spend that that you have spent until
00:09:40.080 now. In all of these years, you’ve been
00:09:41.920 spending a lot of time organizing things
00:09:44.000 and doing things, and now you don’t even
00:09:46.320 need to do them anymore because
00:09:48.080 everything is made automatically for
00:09:50.160 you, and it cuts down on a lot of
00:09:51.760 marketing tasks that you would normally
00:09:53.680 waste your time with. So, I think that’s
00:09:56.480 pretty cool. And the other really cool
00:09:58.880 thing is, you know, once this gets
00:10:01.200 published, because our system handles
00:10:03.360 the scheduling and the publishing, your
00:10:06.240 Squirly SEO is actually going to tell
00:10:08.959 Bing and Google and other search
00:10:10.800 engines, hey, this new blog post or this
00:10:14.320 new page, this new landing page or
00:10:15.920 e-commerce product just got published.
00:10:20.480 Start indexing it. So everything becomes
00:10:24.800 super automated for you. if you use
00:10:27.519 WordPress and this part with the auto
00:10:30.000 indexing we’re going to make available
00:10:33.440 very very soon on the cloud app as well
00:10:37.440 it’s been taking us some time because we
00:10:40.320 needed to create a new way of working
00:10:42.480 with index now they didn’t exist until
00:10:44.959 now and because of that there were
00:10:47.519 delays but we are going to bring this
00:10:49.279 functionality to to the web app so you
00:10:51.440 will be able to connect the Squirly SEO
00:10:54.240 the cloud version for those of you who
00:10:56.800 don’t have WordPress and it’s still
00:10:59.360 going to perform auto indexing for you
00:11:01.760 and it’s going to be amazing.
00:11:04.800 So there’s a huge level of automations
00:11:07.600 that are now possible using the plug-in.
00:11:11.120 And I hope you’ve enjoyed this session.
00:11:43.920 Right. So, this is what I wanted to show
00:11:45.519 you. I wanted to show you that the
00:11:48.079 integration actually works. I know that
00:11:50.160 some people have been scared that they
00:11:52.640 didn’t understand if this is actually
00:11:54.320 working, but it is. And I have just
00:11:56.320 shown you everything inside the source
00:11:57.839 code of this page. So, you just have to
00:12:01.200 view the source to understand that it’s
00:12:03.519 there. But you don’t really need to do
00:12:05.120 that because the automation actually
00:12:06.639 works and Squirly SEO does everything.
00:12:09.360 So I guess I need to show you this. So
00:12:12.320 top destinations. Let’s see. This was
00:12:15.040 the one.
00:12:17.040 And if we add it,
00:12:24.959 yeah, you can see the keyword was placed
00:12:26.639 here in the live assistant.
00:12:33.920 Permal link is exactly the keyword. So,
00:12:35.839 this is a very other important update
00:12:37.680 that we’ve made to the plug-in.
00:12:40.320 And then
00:12:42.240 in meta, I guess some people were afraid
00:12:45.040 because they only saw the patterns,
00:12:49.519 right? So, they’ve only seen the
00:12:50.880 patterns. But if you click on it, you
00:12:53.440 can actually see that this is the
00:12:54.639 current description, which is exactly
00:12:56.720 what you had next level.
00:12:59.360 So, you can see that nothing is wrong.
00:13:03.040 And you can actually see that the
00:13:04.240 current title is exactly this one. So
00:13:06.959 everything was properly placed. The idea
00:13:09.519 is that Squirly
00:13:11.839 uses patterns for automations. So don’t
00:13:15.120 worry because this is an automation. We
00:13:17.040 are using the patterns because that’s
00:13:18.240 what Squirly is using. uh they are
00:13:20.160 perfectly integrated and you know
00:13:22.399 anytime you have
00:13:24.639 um
00:13:26.399 you’re you’re afraid maybe something
00:13:28.000 didn’t work you can check it out with
00:13:29.839 the preview or the best way is always
00:13:32.560 always always on WordPress regardless of
00:13:35.279 what you’re using for SEO check the
00:13:37.839 check the source code if the source code
00:13:39.680 is perfect then it’s going to be perfect
00:13:42.240 for Google sometimes plugins will show
00:13:44.639 you that things work uh in this preview
00:13:47.200 stuff and then when you see it on
00:13:49.040 Google, it’s not good. But everything
00:13:51.440 that’s inside the source code is what
00:13:53.440 gets picked up by Google. So this is the
00:13:55.680 ultimate way of verifying that your SEO
00:13:58.160 is perfect. Just check the source code.
00:14:01.120 Okay, thank you very much. This was the
00:14:02.800 last part of the demonstration that I
00:14:04.240 actually want to show you.
