Simple Pages
What This Page Covers
Section titled “What This Page Covers”How to create and manage Simple Pages — branded, block-based web pages you can publish to the internet and use as followup destinations in Review Flows, Custom Forms, and Customer Journeys.
What Are Simple Pages?
Section titled “What Are Simple Pages?”Simple pages are quick, easy-to-build web pages where you can publish content using your FSRevs branding. They’re commonly used as followup destinations after a flow or form, but they can also stand alone as shareable pages for any purpose.
Each simple page is branded to your business and can be assigned to a specific location. You can also generate smart links that point directly to your simple pages.
How Simple Pages Differ from Public Pages
Section titled “How Simple Pages Differ from Public Pages”| Aspect | Simple Page | Public Page |
|---|---|---|
| Where it lives | Your FSRevs workspace domain | BestLocalReviews.com |
| Purpose | Followup destinations, shareable content | Business information and public testimonials |
| Builder | Block-based page editor | Configuration settings |
| Content | You build it yourself with blocks | Automatically generated from your reviews |
| You control | Every word and block | Display settings and which reviews to show |
Simple Pages and other workspace-hosted customer experiences, including Review Flows, Custom Forms, and Showcase Pages, request exclusion from search indexing. They can still be opened by someone with a working public URL; search exclusion is not access control. The separate BestLocalReviews.com Public Page remains your search-facing business presence.
Block Types
Section titled “Block Types”Simple pages use a block-based editor. Add as many blocks as you need, in any order.
Select Add Content Block, choose a block type, and complete its fields. Drag blocks or use their arrow controls to change the display order. Advanced > Hide this block lets you keep a block in the editor while omitting it from the customer page.
Rich Text
Section titled “Rich Text”A Content Block uses the Rich Editor for customer-facing text, managed destinations, and images. Depending on the field, you can use:
- Headings, bold, italic, underline, and strikethrough
- Bulleted and numbered lists
- Alignment, blockquotes, and code blocks
- Web links and Customer destinations
- Full-width and centered images
Use rich text blocks for welcome messages, instructions, thank-you content, promotional copy, or any freeform content.
Link List
Section titled “Link List”Display a list of managed customer-destination buttons. Each item can open a:
- Review Flow
- Custom Form
- Simple Page
- Smart Link
- My Link
For a Smart Link, choose its Base link, an active Saved configuration, or Custom context. You can also override the button title and description without renaming the destination.
Link Lists are useful when customers should choose their own next step. For example, a thank-you page could offer a feedback Form, a referral Page, and a My Link as separate branches of the same Customer Journey.
Video Embed
Section titled “Video Embed”Embed a YouTube or Vimeo video directly into your page. Just paste the video URL and the player appears inline.
Use video embeds for welcome videos, how-to guides, testimonial videos, or promotional content.
Social Post Embed
Section titled “Social Post Embed”Paste a public post URL from TikTok, Instagram, or X (Twitter). Use the post’s own URL rather than a profile or search page. An optional title appears above the post.
The portal preview shows a placeholder for social posts. After saving, check the customer page to verify the actual embed. A private, removed, or restricted post may not display.
Share Block
Section titled “Share Block”Add sharing buttons for Facebook, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Nextdoor, email, or SMS. Enter Share Text of up to 280 characters and select at least one sharing option. An optional Share Title provides the email subject.
Email and SMS sharing controls are mobile-only. If those are the only options you choose, the block will not appear on desktop. Sharing opens the customer’s chosen destination or app; it does not send a message automatically.
Click-to-Copy
Section titled “Click-to-Copy”Display a block of text with a one-click copy button. When customers click it, the content is copied to their clipboard.
Enter up to 500 characters of plain text in Text to Copy. An optional block title appears above it.
Great for:
- Promo codes and discount codes
- Referral codes
- Instructions or addresses
- Any text you want customers to easily copy and paste
Creating a Simple Page
Section titled “Creating a Simple Page”- Navigate to Content Management > Simple Pages in the portal sidebar.
- Select New Simple Page.
- On Basics, enter the internal Simple Page Name and choose Location. Use Accessible to All Locations only when available and appropriate. Check Page Enabled in the same tab.
- On Page Content, add an optional customer-facing Page Heading and arrange your content blocks.
- Select Preview to inspect the content and effective branding. The preview can include unsaved changes.
- On Sharing, review the Smart Link and Link Preview options.
- Save the page, open its customer URL, and test links, copy buttons, and embeds.
Location scope cannot be changed after creation. If you choose the wrong scope, recreate the page in the correct location and update any experiences pointing to the original.
Using Simple Pages as Followups
Section titled “Using Simple Pages as Followups”Simple pages are one of the followup destination types you can select when configuring a Review Flow’s Completion or a Custom Form’s After Submission settings. Choose the page as the destination and save the Flow or Form. The completion experience then uses that page according to its configured followup behavior.
This is the most common use case — for example:
- A branded thank-you page after a review flow
- A page with additional links or next steps after a form submission
- A promotional page with a promo code after completing a survey
See Followup Destinations for more on configuring followups.
Sharing Simple Pages
Section titled “Sharing Simple Pages”Every simple page has a URL you can share. You can also create smart links that point to your simple pages, making them easy to include in QR codes, NFC experiences, or printed materials.
Under Sharing > Link Preview, optionally set a title, description, and image for messaging and social previews. Blank text uses the defaults shown in the editor. Link Preview Title allows up to 160 characters and Link Preview Description up to 500 characters; use short, clear wording because outside apps can shorten or omit it.
Link-preview images accept JPEG, PNG, or WebP up to 10 MB. FSRevs prepares a 1200 × 630 preview, so keep important content near the center. This image controls the shared preview; it does not add an image block to the page itself.
Pause or Update a Page
Section titled “Pause or Update a Page”Open the page’s Build & Configure editor, change its content, preview, and save. Turn off Page Enabled under Basics when customers should no longer open the page. Review any affected Connections before confirming an availability change.
Disabling a page preserves its content. Enable it and save when it should return. Check the Flows, Forms, and Smart Links using the page after either change.
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”Page Content is waiting for a location
Section titled “Page Content is waiting for a location”Return to Basics and choose Location before adding content or configuring sharing.
A destination is missing from a Link List
Section titled “A destination is missing from a Link List”Check that the destination is enabled and compatible with this page’s fixed location scope. See Customer destinations.
A block is in the editor but not on the customer page
Section titled “A block is in the editor but not on the customer page”Check Hide this block, save the page, and reload it. Share Blocks with only email and SMS options appear on mobile only. Social-post previews are placeholders until you open the customer page.
The shared preview differs from the page preview
Section titled “The shared preview differs from the page preview”They serve different purposes. Page Preview shows your content; Link Preview describes the card another app may display when the URL is shared. Outside apps control their final rendering and caching.
