Adding your business to Google

Do this AFTER your website is live!

1. Go to business.google.com/add
2. Sign in with your Google account. If you don't have one, you can create one at google.com/accounts.
3. Search for your business name. If it appears, it already exists, and you will need to claim it.
4. If it doesn't appear, click "Add your business to Google" to create a new profile.
5. Provide all required information, including your business name, category, address (if applicable), service areas, phone number, and website URL.
6. Follow the prompts to choose a verification method. Options may include phone, postcard by mail, or video verification, depending on your business type. The listing will not be public until verification is complete. The easiest method is postcard - choose that if you're given the option.
7. Once verified, complete your profile by adding your business hours, a detailed description, and photos to help customers find you and learn about your business.

Logging in

1. Visit saraandjasen.com.au/admin in the browser.
2. Enter your user name and password - they are case-sensitive.

Do not EVER share your user name or password with someone else.

Once you've logged in, you'll see the screen in the image

To do any of the following, you must first log in to the admin end of the website.

Backing-up the site

On a regular basis, and before making any changes, always back-up the site.

1. Click the Backups tab near the top of the screen.
2. On the right click Website Archives.
3. Click the Create New Archive Now button.
4. Wait! When it's finished, you'll see the success message near the top of the screen, and the new archive.
5. Every now and then, delete the older archives. Otherwise, you'll run out of disc space on the server.

Edit a page

1. From the tabs at the top, click Pages.

   

2. There is a page called PLAYGROUND - you can do whatever you like with this - feel free to experiment.
3. Click the name of the page you want to edit
4. You'll see the screen in the image

Making a mistake editing a page

If you edit a page and you immediately realise that you've made a mistake after you click Save Updates, at the top of the Edit Page screen you will see a yellow bar which contains the word "Undo". Click on that and the changes you made will be undone. You then need to save the page again.

If you realise later that you've made a mistake (for example, after you view the page), in the tabs at the top, click the Backup tab. You should see the name of the page you just saved. Click on the name. Check that the content is correct, and then click the Restore button towards the top right.

Images

You're going to need images for the gallery page and you can also change the "hero" shot at the top of each page.

Gallery

Minimum 500px wide x 500px high, maximum 1200px wide x 800px high. You can use any format you like (although I’d recommend .jpg), and give them any name you want.

Hero Shots

The format must be .jpg. Ideally 2000px wide x 1500px high. They must be named the same as the page. For example, the hero shot for the home page must be named home.jpg; the hero shot for the garden bed maintenance page must be named garden-bed-maintenance.jpg.

You also need to optimise all images as much as possible – that means to reduce the size of the file without losing quality.

If you already have software that you like which can resize, crop, and optimise images, use that. Otherwise, this is a very useful site and is used in the videos - Aspose

There is a video about preparing images.

Uploading Images

To upload images:

1. Click the File tab
2. Select the appropriate folder - imagesHouse, imagesLawns, imagesMaintenance, or imagesHeroes
3. To the right click the Choose Files button (in some browsers it's named Browse or Select)
4. Select the file
5. Click the Open button in the dialog box
6. Click the Upload button

Testimonials

1. From the Pages tab on the right, click the MultiBlock button.
2. From the dropdown box, choose Reviews.
3. Click the Choose Section button.

   

4. Click the Add New button.
5. Complete the following items:

   

   

   1. Block Title – this is a unique ID for this testimonial. I like to have the first name of the person leaving the testimonial, followed by the date as YYMMDD. So if the testimonial is from Mary Brown dated 22 August 2026, the Block Title would be Mary B 260822.
   2. Slug – this is the same as the Block Title, all lower case, with no spaces or any special characters. So following the previous example, the slug would be maryb260822.
   3. Review – this is the body of the review and will appear on the Testimonials page.
   4. Reviewer Name – the name of the person leaving the testimonial.
   5. Date - this will appear on the Testimonials page.
6. Click the Update button.
