As part of our on-going quest to dramatically improve Simplero for SEO purposes (since we're currently investing heavily in SEO for ourselves as a company), site redirects now default to being permanent. This is better for SEO purposes. Not sure why, honestly, but the temporary redirects get flagged as a techincal SEO problem. You can still choose whether or not you want a temp or permanent redirect. We haven't changed any of your existing redirects. But when you create a new one, the default will be the most SEO-optimized option. Because we've got your back!

At the same time, we've also added new filters on the redirects table.

Nerd alert: We have upgraded jQuery on sites from 2.2 to 3.6.1 and changed how it loads for better performance. If you have added custom code or tracking code that uses jQuery, please test it. If you’re not sure what any of this means, you’re probably not affected. Even if you do know what this means, chances are you aren’t affected.

Feature
Oct 1, 2022

You can now choose the columns “Broadcasts’ and ‘Last broadcast at’ on the Products table, so you can see how many Broadcasts you’ve sent to that product, and when the last one was.

Go to Sales > Products, and click the Columns button, then choose those two columns to add.

We've made some minor changes to the way we display prices on the price switcher on the order form

If you're interested, here are the changes:

  • No more decimals when the price is a whole number. i.e '$10.00 in 2 payments' becomes '$10 in 2 payments'.
  • Changed how commitment clause is displayed. i.e '30 days minimum commitment' becomes '30 days commitment'.
  • Changed how free periods are displayed. i.e 'nothing for the first month' becomes '1 month free trial'.
  • Changed how some pricing periods are displayed.
    • $X per month for the first 60 days -> $X per month for 60 days
    • $X per month for the next 90 days -> then $X per month for 90 days
    • $X per month after that -> then $X per month

NOTE: This only concerns the pricing switcher on the order form. Nothing else.

Fixed an issue where course progress on course member analytics table would show people having completed less than 100% when they were actually complete.

Improvement
Sep 19, 2022

Applied new header style to the Contacts screens

Improvement
Sep 19, 2022

As discussed in our Facebook group a little while back, we have now removed the “this course is only available to people who purchased these products” setting under Access Control on a course.

Instead set the course publish status to Dripped, and check the box next to the course on Product Content screen to provide access when the product is purchased.

Any courses that were using the old setting have been reconfigured so they work the same. Nothing needed on your end.

Improvement
Sep 16, 2022

Using our new header style on Newsletters

Fix
Sep 16, 2022

Fixed an issue where images in the 'Benefits' section overflowed on mobile causing unnecessary horizontal scrollbars

Improvement

New URL picker

Cleaner, simpler, and more powerful!

Fixed a bug where landing page view stats would show the views in the wrong hour (was lumping them together on a 12-hour clock!)

Fix
Sep 14, 2022

Changed the name from Invoice to Receipt. As Tad correctly pointed out, invoice is a request for payment, receipt is acknowledgement of a payment that's already happened. Thanks, Tad!

Improvement

SEO Improvements

When a landing page is expired, you can now make the redirect to a new URL permanent, improving your technical SEO.

PS. We’re also hard at work at improving PageSpeed ranking, which will help overall with technical SEO. All of this coming now because we’re investing in SEO for Simplero, and whenever we solve a problem for us, we look for ways to solve it for all of you as well. That’s how we roll.

Feature
Sep 7, 2022

Resend to replies/non-replies

You can now easily send a Broadcast to just the people who replied or didn't reply to another Broadcast.

This lets you follow up specifically with those people who are most engaged. Or if you're requesting a reply, you can follow up with those who didn't reply the first time.

How to do this:

  1. To resend a Broadcast to people who replied/didn't reply, click the three dot (...) menu on the Broadcast you want to resend, and chose the relevant option.
  2. When sending a new Broadcast, choose as recipients the original Broadcast, and select as filter at the top either 'Replied' or 'Did not reply'.
Improvement

New navigation style

We’re in the process of rolling out an update to the top navigation in admin - that means the top bar with the menu, and the 2nd bar with the page title and tabs.

The goal is to both modernize the interface a bit, without disrupting existing users too much, while also solving some navigation problems that we’ve had for a while. Specifically, when you navigate into more complex objects, like Lists, Products, and Affiliate Programs, it’s super easy to get lost in the layers and layers of navigation.

As part of this project, we’ve released a new navigation header style on the page for a single media file.

More will follow.

If you’re someone creating videos on Simplero for your customers, I’d hold off on re-recording till we’re done. It’ll probably be another 4-6 weeks.

SEO improvement: Canonical URL

Site pages that have pagination, eg. blog and blog category pages, would have the canonical URL set to the first page of the pagination, instead of the page you were on, which is a technical SEO problem. This has been fixed now, so they include the page number.

SEO Improvement: Permanent redirect by default

Make redirects permanent when changing the URL of a page or blog post. Since this is the new permanent home for the new page, that’s both more accurate and better for SEO.

We’re working hard right now to dramatically improve Simplero for SEO performance, this is just a small piece of it.

Cleaned up the colors and logos screen in account settings

Send Notification emails (from Triggers, Automations, or other contact actions) from account support email, rather than action@your.simplero.com, which is guaranteed to bounce. Hat tip, George Kao!

Resend Broadcast to non-clicks (thanks, David)

You can now easily resend a broadcast to everyone who didn’t click a link in a given Broadcast.

Just go to the Broadcast under Broadcasts > Delivered, and click the button “Resend to people who…”

Now you can also choose people who “Did not click any links,” in addition at the other options that we had already.

Thanks, David for the suggestion over on the feature request board.
