Top 10 Searchie Questions Answered

Jan 23

There’s nothing I love more than preaching the gospel of Searchie and answering folks’ questions about this remarkable, rich tech tool. Searchie has revolutionized my business, and I am passionate about helping others experience the same growth!

Today I’m rounding up the top 10 questions I get asked about Searchie. If you find that you still have an unanswered question about Searchie after reading, search my blog and my YouTube channel and I bet it’s answered there!

Does Searchie do more than video hosting?

Searchie does video hosting and so.much.more! I’ve written extensively about how Searchie can be used for a sales page, website, lead magnet, online course, membership portal, and coaching program portal.

What’s really cool is that Searchie enables you to create all of these as standalone Searchie Hubs or nest multiple programs within one Hub. For example, you could have one Hub that offers multiple courses as well as a membership. Using Searchie’s audience segmentation function, you can control who sees what content based on what they’ve purchased or other parameters you set.

2. Does Searchie take the place of Kajabi?

It can, but it certainly doesn’t need to. I’m no longer wed to Kajabi and I feel that Searchie is the best platform for the online learning that I offer, but I know that others feel heavily invested in Kajabi and are unwilling to walk away.

That’s perfectly fine! In fact, Searchie can help to augment your users’ experience within Kajabi by making your content easier to consume and to search.

3. How can I get my branding into Searchie?

It’s really important for your online programs made with Searchie to match the other elements of your online presence and your branding look. Thankfully, it’s very easy to do this!

First, you can use Searchie’s design menu to represent your logo, brand colors, and fonts. But it’s Searchie’s integration with Canva that really takes your Hub branding to the next level! In Canva, create your Searchie thumbnails, images, and banners so they are true representations of your branding. This is easy and makes for a professional-looking result.

4. What does Searchie integrate with?

I’ve written about this recently, and the question might be better stated as What DOESN’T Searchie integrate with? Searchie directly integrates with many of the tech tools you’ve come to rely on, such as Facebook, Zoom, Stripe, Kajabi, and more.

And thanks to the power of Zapier, you can integrate Searchie with thousands (yep—thousands!) of other apps. I know how important it is for any new tech tool to play well with the rest of your beloved tools! Searchie definitely plays well with others.

5. Do I create a Searchie Hub for each of my programs?

You could do that, but you don’t need to. It’s all about what method of organization works best for you. I know some entrepreneurs who prefer to create multiple Hubs for multiple offerings and others who nest all of their offerings within one mega-Hub. There’s no wrong way to do it!

The question I usually use to determine what’s best is, is there a need to sell something as a one-off and/or its own product/service? If so, I advise having it in its own Hub. It helps keep things cleaner.

6. How do I upload content into Searchie?

Do you have a dread of uploading video content? I bet I know why: It can take ages to download and upload video content! The good news is that with Searchie, uploading content is fast and can be automated. Imagine never having to sit there for hours doing this mindless task!

You can upload video content to Searchie in a snap from all the usual sources: Dropbox, Google Drive, Facebook, Zoom, OneDrive, Vimeo, etc. And then you can automate all future videos that you create during Zoom calls or Facebook live sessions to upload straight into Searchie—one less task on your to-do list!

7. Can I edit the captions and transcripts?

You certainly can, and Searchie makes it easy to do this. In your Searchie dashboard, look under the video and simply select “edit transcript.”

You can also provide Searchie with a list of names and terms of art that you frequently use so the AI will recognize these and transcribe these words properly. The AI does a great job of transcription, but taking this step will make it perform even better!

8. How can I provide my participants with a tailored experience?

Searchie makes it easy to provide your participants with an experience that is right up their alley! Using audience segmentation, you can control what content the user sees. Consider an intake quiz or assessment to determine the participant’s interest and needs. Their quiz results can result in specific tags being assigned to the user. This makes it so they are presented with content that fits their interests and needs (and avoids overwhelm). There are other ways you can personalize the Searchie experience, and I’ve written about that here.

9. Can I see some examples of Searchie Hubs? I want to get the ideas flowing.

That can really help, can’t it? I recommend taking a gander at the interviews I’ve posted in my Searchie Success Facebook page or YouTube channel. In these interviews, a wide variety of entrepreneurs give us tours of their Searchie Hubs and offer tips based on their experience with Searchie. It’s a gold mine of great ideas!

10. Where can I go for help with Searchie?

First, Searchie itself is an incredibly supportive company who truly values their user base. They offer a free Searchie Academy and a lively Facebook group. I urge you to dive into their resources!

I’m another resource you can turn to if you’re hesitant to go it alone with Searchie. I can help you create the Hub of your dreams so fast it’ll make your head spin! And the great news is that you will be empowered to maintain your Hub yourself—you’ll never believe how easy it is to use!
