Index Free Preview Lessons & Instantly Find on Search Results

What is it and why you need it


Your free preview lessons can now be indexed and easily found on your website’s search engine. This means anyone visiting your website can now instantly access free preview lessons through the search bar—without needing to enroll in the course.


Moreover, this feature allows potential students to explore your course lessons and engage with your content before they make a decision to purchase. 


So, this added visibility is a great way to improve your course’s exposure and encourage more sign-ups.



How it works

As an admin, you can easily index the free preview lessons directly from the lesson settings inside the course. This gives you full control over which lessons will appear in the website search results.


Once indexed, these lessons will be accessible via the search bar on your website. As a result, visitors will be able to instantly view and explore your free preview lessons without needing to enroll.


[Note: Only the lessons you’ve set as free preview can be indexed and viewed in the site-wide website search engine.]



How to get started using it


To begin, simply log in to your admin dashboard and go to Courses -> All courses -> click on the Edit button on an existing course you want to add the feature.
