Public Post Settings FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Where can I update the social media links that my blog bio display?

The social icons in your blog bio come from Marketing Profile → Contact Info . Whatever URLs you've filled in there (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, etc.) get rendered as icons next to your bio. If you don't want any social icons even when bio is shown, set Display Social Media Links to No on this page.

Q: Where does Gemini get information to create my Blog Bio?

The Draft Bio with AI button opens a short form where you fill in your name + title, specialty, service area, years as an agent, and (optional) a personal detail. Gemini uses that — plus your existing profile (city, state, services) — to draft a 100–180 word bio you can edit before saving. It does not pull from your About Your Business intake. The structured form is what drives the result, so the more specific you are, the better the draft.

What are the Public Post Settings for?

Public Post Settings controls how you appear when one of your posts gets published to the Insurance Storefronts public consumer blog. Anything you set here — bio, name link, social links toggle — only kicks in on IS-published posts, not on posts living on your own website.

It's a one-time setup. Once it's saved, every future post you syndicate to the public blog uses these settings automatically.

When setting the Display Blog Bio to yes, where does it display?

Your blog bio appears at the bottom of every one of your IS-published posts, in the consumer-facing reader view. Consumers finish your article, see your name and bio block, and have an obvious next step to learn more about you.

Set it to No if you'd rather your posts stand alone without an author bio block.

When using the Name Link Location, does it just link my name on the blog bio?

It applies anywhere your name shows up on a published post — the byline at the top, the bio block at the bottom, and your name on the post listings page on the public blog.

You've got three choices: link to your Marketing Profile, your Insurance Storefronts custom website, or a Custom URL you specify (handy if you'd rather drive traffic to an external landing page).

How should my Blog Bio be written to best advertise my services as an insurance agent?

Keep it under 200 words (the form caps you there) and front-load the things a reader cares about: who you help, what lines of insurance you specialize in, and where you serve. End with a soft invitation to reach out.

Avoid jargon and credential alphabet soup. The reader just finished one of your articles — they want to know if you're the right person to talk to, not your full résumé.
