Search Atlas OTTO Pixel

Hello,

I’m testing out Search Atlas on one of my client’s websites built with Blocs. The platform provides a script that’s installed in the of the project, which allows the software to control various on-page elements like page titles, meta descriptions, schema, and more.

I’m running the same script on a RapidWeaver site without any issues, but I’m encountering errors on the Blocs version. I have a support ticket open with Search Atlas, but I wanted to reach out here to see if anyone else has used Search Atlas on a Blocs site.

$99 a month? Crikey!

So you’re using the same approach in Blocs vs RapidWeaver, but its not working in Blocs ? https://help.searchatlas.com/en/articles/11186120-how-to-install-otto-pixel

Let us know what the issue ends up being, concerning your → support ticket.

SEO aint cheap…lol :joy:

@Norm, does Blocs use any of these? I’m troubleshooting with Search Altas and they sent me this screenshot and asked.

^ No, to all 11 that are listed. :upside_down_face:

How did you implement it into RapidWeaver?

What ever you did can’t be much different from Blocs. As RapidWeaver never used any of those in the list either, to the best of my knowledge.

Elements does use Svelte Edit: AlpineJS, but that’s a different story.

You can implement the snippet shown in the above posted install link into Blocs
wherever you need it.

Which can’t be too different from what you did with RapidWeaver, unless you used
some special Stack ?

Yeah, I think the problem is on their end but I’m just trying to coming at it from all sides.

Can’t you just use a script like here minus the iframe and place the script in the page head within Blocs like they seem to prefer. They have a ton of install videos, Squarespace, Webflow, Wordpress, Wix, Shopify, etc., Plus if it worked in RapidWeaver it should certainly work in Blocs.

Also do they know its Blocs App for Mac and not
https://bloclibrary.dev/ ← given the list they provided ?

Thanks for the feedback, yes that’s how I’m doing it now and for some reason their not seeing it in their system even though we verfied that it’s in the head.

Hey @ajenks,

Blocs doesn’t use any of those to power the websites it creates.

The sites Blocs creates are typically only HTML, CSS and Vanilla JS. I would suggest asking the folks at Atlas how they would advise adding their service to a static website.

Typically most third party solutions offer some kind of CDN JS link you just add to the page or a code snippet you can place in the code of the webpage.

If they have downloadable resources you can self host, then adding those as either page or project attachments will likely be the best approach.

Which Stack are you using to add this functionality to your RW site?

@ajenks, any progress with support from Search Atlas ?

These may offer some sort of assistance:

You might also extract something from the Webflow video or Shopify video and notice something regarding setup or within the SA dashboard.

Just weird you say it worked in Rapidweaver ?

I’m just pasting in the head section in RW just like Blocs. I confirmed that the issue isn’t with Blocs. I just activated the feature on another Blocs site I have with them and it worked like a charm. I might have to rip out the entire project with them and add it back, somehting most have gotten hosed up.

I was able to fix the issue. For some reason their script doesn’t like being the first one in the head. I put it little futher down in the head and it started working. :man_shrugging:

Congrats on getting it resolved.

How strange, is the Script JS or PHP?

If it’s JS, it may have dependancies that need to be loaded first in order for it to work.

Anyway glad to hear its working now.

it was a JS
