Should You Blog Inside Systeme.io? (Yes, But Read This First)
Systeme.io includes a built-in blog system. It’s simple, clean, and SEO-friendly. But is it enough for a full content strategy?
Let’s break down what it can do — and where it starts to suck.
The Good Stuff
✅ Fast-loading, no bloat
No WordPress plugins, no server issues. Posts load fast, even on mobile.
✅ Built-in editor
Clean block-style editor. Markdown-friendly. Works for text, images, code blocks, CTAs.
✅ Tags + categories
Basic but functional. You can group content and build SEO clusters.
✅ Drag-and-drop layout
You can design the blog homepage visually, not just list format.
✅ No tech required
Write → Publish → Done.
Limitations
❌ No native SEO plugin
You’ll need to manually write meta titles, slugs, and descriptions.
❌ No advanced schema markup
No rich snippets, FAQ markup, or product schema.
❌ No editorial tools
No built-in version control, AI tools, or collab features.
❌ Slightly rigid design
Blog layout = good enough, but not deeply customizable.
Who Should Use It?
✅ You’re solo, bootstrapped, and want to rank with low effort
✅ You just need SEO content to support funnels
✅ You don’t want to manage another platform
✅ You’re linking to affiliate offers (like this one 👇)
❌ You’re scaling a multi-writer content team
❌ You need deep SEO features and plugin flexibility
❌ You want full control over technical SEO
Blog Use Case That Works
Publish SEO blog posts
Internally link to funnel pages
Capture leads on blog sidebar or exit intent
Rank for longtail keywords
Monetize via Systeme.io affiliate links
It’s not perfect. But it’s perfect enough to make money.
👀 Let’s Be Honest Plug
If you're not tagging your leads the moment they come in, you're wasting segmentation power. Good news: you can do it automatically — and invisibly.
Here’s how to auto-tag new contacts so your list stays clean without lifting a finger.
What You’ll Use
Funnel or Form
Automation Rule
One-time config. That’s it.
Step-by-Step: Tag on Funnel Entry
Go to your funnel
Click on the step (e.g. opt-in page)
Scroll to Automation Rules
Click Add Rule
Trigger: Form submitted
Action: Add tag → e.g.
lead
,ebook-optin
,from-seo
, etc.
Now every new signup from that funnel gets tagged instantly.
Bonus: Stack Multiple Tags
You can add more than one.
Example:
Tag 1:
lead
Tag 2:
blog-reader
Tag 3:
funnel-a-entry
Now you know who they are, where they came from, and what they want — without asking them anything.
Step-by-Step: Tag from Email Click
Want to tag contacts who click a specific email link?
Go to your email
Highlight a link
Enable Tracking
Set Action: Add tag (e.g.
interested-in-product-A
)
This is perfect for segmenting based on behavior — not guesses.
Why Tag Automatically?
Better targeting
Smarter automations
Higher conversions
Fewer unsubscribes
You stay organized as you scale
You don’t need to build logic trees in your head. Just tag as you go.
