Blog and website content
Write posts for your clinic's public website, send them for super admin approval, and set the advertisement that runs beside each article.
The blog is how your clinic turns up in a patient's search results months before they book. Hello Homeo gives you a simple content manager: write a post, add a picture (or let the AI draw one), save it as a draft, and send it for approval when it is ready. A Hello Homeo super admin reviews every clinic article before it goes live. Once approved, the post gets its own public page on your clinic site, its own web address, the search-engine tags Google looks for - and an advertisement panel beside the article with your Book an Appointment and Contact buttons.
/c/your-clinic/admin/blogsThe Blogs list
Click Blogs in the sidebar. The header reads Manage Blogs and counts what you have - 12 blog posts • 12 loaded. Every post is a card: featured image, a status badge, the title, the description, By {author}, and the date it was created. The badge is the post's stage in the review: Draft, Awaiting approval, Changes requested, Approved - hidden, or Live.
- Search blogs by title or description…
- Type-as-you-go search across the post title and its description.
- All Blogs / Drafts / Awaiting approval / Changes requested / Approved / Live on site
- The status filter, beside the funnel icon. Drafts finds the half-written posts you meant to come back to; Changes requested finds the ones the super admin sent back for you to fix.
- Sort by Created / Updated / Title / Status
- How the cards are ordered, with an arrow button next to it to flip between ascending and descending. The sort reorders the posts already loaded on screen - keep scrolling to pull in older ones.
Posts load 12 at a time as you scroll; at the end you see You've seen all blog posts. If you have none yet, the empty state offers a Create Your First Blog button.
| Hover a card and click… | What happens |
|---|---|
| The pencil | Opens the post in the Edit Blog editor. |
| The eye / eye-off | Shows or hides an approved post on your site. It only appears on approved posts - anything else has to go through review first. |
| The bin | Asks Delete Blog Post, and deletes the post for good once you confirm. |
| Edit Post (bottom-left of the card) | The same as the pencil. On a post that is awaiting approval it reads View Post - the article is frozen while the super admin has it. |
| Send for approval | On a draft, or on a post that came back with changes requested. Queues the article for the super admin; the badge turns amber. |
| Withdraw | On a post awaiting approval. Pulls it back out of the queue so you can keep editing. |
| View Live (bottom-right) | Opens the post's real public page on your clinic site. Only shown once the post is approved and live. |
Writing a new post
Click Create Blog at the top of the list. You land on Create New Blog, which is five cards stacked down the page: Blog Details, Featured Image, Content, Clinic Advertisement, and a live Preview that shows you the card your readers will see.
- 1
Type the Title.
The one field you cannot skip. It also becomes the post's public web address.
- 2
Check the Author.
Pre-filled with your own name. Change it if the article is really by one of your doctors - it is free text, so type the name exactly as patients should read it.
- 3
Pick a Category.
Readers use categories to filter the public blog, so choosing one makes the post easier to find.
- 4
Write the Description.
Maximum 500 characters, with a live
(n/500)counter that turns amber past 450. This is the summary on the blog card - and the line Google shows under your headline. - 5
Add a Featured Image.
Drag a picture onto the box, or click it and choose a file.
- 6
Write the article in the Content editor.
Content is required before you can publish, though not before you can save a draft.
- 7
Fill in the Clinic Advertisement card, or leave it as it is.
This is the panel that sits beside your article on the public page. Every field is optional - left blank, it falls back to your clinic name, logo, phone and email.
- 8
Click Save Draft, or Send for Approval when the post is finished.
Sending confirms with A super admin will review this post before it goes live. Either way you are returned to the Blogs list.
- Title *
- Required. Save Draft stays greyed out until you type one, and Send for Approval needs a title and content.
- Author
- Free text, pre-filled with your name. Shown on the card and on the public post.
- Category
- One of General, Homeopathy, Wellness, Nutrition, Mental Health, Chronic Conditions, Women's Health, Lifestyle, Case Studies. Optional - but it is what the category filter on the public blog reads.
- Featured post
- A toggle that marks the post as featured and adds a Featured chip to the preview. It is stored with the post; it does not change where the post appears on the public blog today.
- Description
- Up to 500 characters. Optional when you first create the post - but the Edit Blog form treats it as required, so you will be asked for it the next time you touch the post. Write it now.
- Content *
- The article itself. Required before the post can be sent for approval; a draft can be saved with a title alone.
The clinic advertisement
Every clinic article carries a panel of your own beside it - sticky on a desktop as the reader scrolls, and directly under the article on a phone. It shows your logo and clinic name, a headline, a short message, and the buttons a reader needs to act on what they just read. The Clinic Advertisement card on the create and edit screens is where you write it.
- Show the clinic advertisement on this article
- On by default. Turn it off for an article where a sales panel would sit badly - a condolence note, say, or a public-health notice.
- Headline
- Up to 120 characters. Left blank it reads Consult with {your clinic name}. Make it answer the article: an allergy post deserves Struggling every spring? Talk to our doctors.
- Message
- Up to 400 characters, with a live counter. The short pitch under the headline - what you treat, how soon a patient can be seen. Left blank, a sensible default naming your clinic is used.
- Buttons
- Book an appointment + Contact (the default), Book an appointment only, or Contact only. The booking button opens your public booking page; the contact button dials your number, or opens your email if you have no number on file.
- Contact number
- Optional. Overrides the clinic phone number for this article only - useful when a campaign has its own line. Left blank, the number from Clinic settings is used.
The content editor
The Content box is a rich-text editor - what you type is what your readers get, and there is no HTML to learn. The toolbar across the top gives you:
- Bold, italic, and inline
code. - H1, H2 and H3 headings - use H2 for your section titles; they give the article structure and help it rank.
- Bullet lists and numbered lists.
- A link button: select the words first, click the link icon, then paste the address into the box that pops up. Leaving that box empty removes the link instead.
- A quote block - good for a patient testimonial or a line from a materia medica.
- A horizontal rule, to separate sections.
The featured image
Drag a file onto the Featured Image box, or click it and pick one. The box states the rules: PNG, JPG, GIF up to 5MB. Anything larger is refused with Image size should be less than 5MB. Once it uploads you see the picture with a small red × in the corner - click that to remove it and choose another.
Generating the image with AI
If you have no photograph worth using, Hello Homeo can draw one. Open the post in Edit Blog and click Generate with AI in the corner of the Featured Image card.
- 1
Click Generate with AI.
The ✦ AI Image Generation panel opens under the heading.
- 2
Describe the picture you want - or leave the box empty.
Left empty, the image is generated from the post's title alone. The placeholder shows the idea: A serene scene with chamomile flowers and homeopathic vials on a wooden table…
- 3
Click Generate Image.
The button reads Generating… while it works. The finished picture drops straight into the Featured Image box.
- 4
Not happy with it? Open the panel and generate another.
Each run replaces the picture in the box. Nothing reaches the post until you click Save Changes.
The approval journey
A post moves through four stages, and a banner at the top of the Edit Blog screen always tells you which one it is in.
| Stage | What it means | What you can do |
|---|---|---|
| Draft | Only your clinic's admins can see it. | Edit it freely. Click Send for Approval when it is ready. |
| Awaiting approval | It is in the super admin's queue. | The article is frozen. Click Withdraw to Edit to pull it back. |
| Changes requested | The super admin sent it back, with a note explaining why. | The note shows on the card and in the banner. Fix the article, then send it again. |
| Approved | Cleared for the public. It goes live the moment it is approved. | Use Hide from site / Publish to site to control whether readers see it. |
The Featured toggle in Publishing Options is independent of all of this: it marks the post as featured and shows a Featured chip in the preview, but does not currently give the post a different placement on the public blog.
Where your posts appear
Approval gives the post its own public page on your clinic's site, at an address built from the title: an article called Homeopathy for Seasonal Allergies on the clinic abel-wellness is published at hellohomeo.in/c/abel-wellness/blog/homeopathy-for-seasonal-allergies. That link works for anyone - patients, WhatsApp groups, your Instagram bio - and needs no login. Approved posts also appear on your clinic's blog index at /c/your-clinic/blog, in the Blog link in your clinic's menu, and in the article carousel on your clinic home page.
View Live at the bottom of a live card opens that page. Inside the editor, the Preview button does the same in a new tab - but only for a post that is saved, approved and live. Before that it tells you so: This post is not live yet - a super admin has to approve it first.
Editing, unpublishing and deleting
- 1
Find the post - search for it, or filter to Drafts, Changes requested or Live on site.
- 2
Hover the card and click the pencil, or click Edit Post.
The screen reads Edit Blog / Update your blog post.
- 3
Make your changes and click Save Changes, or Send for Approval to save and queue it in one go.
Title, description and content are all checked again - an empty description or empty content stops the save. Editing the article of an approved post returns it to Draft.
- 4
To take a post down without losing it, turn Live on your site off - or click the eye-off icon on the card.
It stays approved, just hidden, so you can put it back with one click. Nothing is lost; the text stays exactly as you wrote it.
- 5
To remove it entirely, hover the card, click the bin and confirm Delete.
The dialog warns you: This action cannot be undone. There is no recycle bin - if there is any doubt, unpublish instead.
Why can't I see Blogs in my sidebar?+
Your plan does not include the Blog CMS feature - or your trial has ended and the plan you settled on does not carry it. See Plans and billing.
Can a doctor or a receptionist write posts?+
No. The blog is an admin-only screen; only the Admin role can open it. If your doctors write the articles, paste their words in and put their name in the Author field. See Roles and permissions.
Preview says the post isn't live yet.+
It has not been approved, or it is approved but hidden. Preview opens the real public page, and an unapproved post does not have one. Send it for approval, and once the badge reads Live, preview it.
How long does approval take?+
There is no published turnaround. The post sits in the super admin's queue until they read it - the badge stays Awaiting approval and you get the article back the moment they decide. If you need to keep working on it in the meantime, click Withdraw.
My post came back with changes requested. What now?+
The super admin's note is on the card in the Blogs list and in the banner at the top of the editor. Make the changes they asked for and click Send for Approval again - there is no limit on how many times a post can go round.
Can I schedule a post for next Monday?+
Not from the editor - there is no publish-date field. Get it approved ahead of time, click the eye-off icon to hide it, and on Monday click the eye icon. It goes live instantly, with no second review.
How long can an article be?+
The article itself has no length limit. Only the Description is capped, at 500 characters.
What does the AI image generator cost?+
The editor shows no per-image charge. Generate as many as you like until one looks right - only the picture left in the box when you click Save Changes is kept.
