Use these settings to change the style and color of your headline.

A few Notes:

  • Never type your headline in all caps. If you'd like it to be all caps, use the 'Headline All Caps' toggle. This is to prevent Google penalizing you. Google is not a fan of text written in all caps.
  • The HTML tag is by default set to H2. This is optimal for most use cases.



View All Link

Change the link label and the. color of the link.

When adding the URL to a link, make sure you use a 'relative URL'.

What is a 'Relative URL'?

You may have noticed there is a 'Promo Link' box that asks for a 'Relative URL'

A relative URL is a link from within your site, on the same domain.

For example: A product list page for the category 'Edibles' has a URL of https://demo.greatergreen.gg/products?category=EDIBLES

In this case, the 'Relative URL' is everything after ".gg", or /products?category=EDIBLES
