Below is a list of site builders and what we are able to do with each:
Updated: 1/8/25
| Site Builders | Limitations |
|---|---|
| 1 and 1 | We can do everything. |
| 220 Sites | Cannot Install UX Codes. |
| 411 Locals | Can be optimized but need to send changes to them to implement. |
| 3dCart | We can do everything. |
| Art Span | Universal description and keywords. Can add analytics—no site map. |
| Adobe Muse | Need to have client implement changes onto site, has been an issue getting clients to comply and get changes on in timely manner, resulting in CS issues. Highly recommend selling new site or getting EXPLICIT agreement from client that changes will be made within 48 hours of being sent to them. Usually comes up as ‘Business Catalyst CMS’ in Wappalyzer and then you can see “Muse” all over the source code. |
| ARI-cms.com/ Dealer Spike | updates@arinet.com – Send G4 to them (adding/replacing GA under Component settings doesn’t work) |
| Ashop | Universal Titles, but we can edit meta descriptions. Can add analytics. |
| Big Commerce | Can do everything with admin rights. Best cart ever. Can export products to a CSV, optimize them all and re-upload them all in a quarter of the time. If someone has this cart for a client I recommend selling product opt/base. |
| Biz IQ | Stay away, hostile company. |
| BigCommerce | Login always 2 step, xmlsitemap.php – GA – go to storefront – script manager. |
| Big Folio | URL’s are in AJAX – can only do global title and description. |
| Blogger | Can’t do anything with them. |
| Blogspot | Can’t do anything with them. |
| Bloomnation | Can’t do anything with them. DO NOT SELL. |
| Blu domain | We can add GTM and implement SEO through there as long as the pages are SEO friendly/box is checked in settings. |
| BoomTown | Can’t add meta to homepage, cant add new GA code must get access by sending email to digitalstrategy@boomtownroi.com. |
| Buuteeq | Home page can be edited, as well as meta data for “articles.” |
| ColdFusion | Could be Global, could opt whole site (need permission to check). |
| Contractor Website Services | Can be optimized but need to send changes to them to implement. |
| Creative Motion Design | If text disappears have client call and have magic quotes disabled can optimize most pages if they have an HTML version on there site. |
| Dealerspike | Most changes need to be sent to them to insert – Support@dealerspike.com – 800.288.5917 / Support ext 200 |
| Design.com | Universal Title Tag with character limit – Can add GA (they said GTM cannot be added either). |
| DUDA | Opt can be done. |
| Drupal | Hit or miss – http://drupal.org/project/google_analytics – need admin access. If we have FTP and CMS access 9 times out of ten we can make changes. I haven’t come across one I can’t do. I’ve come across times when I can’t make changes to a specific page (when Drupal uses its cart add-ons), but the site can be done. |
| Elevate | Real estate site we cannot opt – yourelevate.com DO NOT SELL. |
| Elmstreet Technology | Real estate site we cannot opt – DO NOT SELL. |
| EverWeb (Mac) | SEO changes are possible, not sure yet if we can do it via FTP or if client must implement them. |

| FASO | We can optimize home page, information pages, and do product opt (paintings) but can’t optimize category pages. Schema can be inserted. |
| FATCOW | Many ways to make changes, they usually all can be made. must ask client how they make changes (ftp, builder) ALSO – usually they block us, must call FATCOW to have them whitelist ip addresses. |
| Flower Shop Network | GA4 code/schema needs to be sent to support@flowershopnetwork.com – meta can be done in https://www.fsnf2f.com/ (all sites have: G-EMLZ5PGJB1, UA-604019-7). |

| HouzzPRO | We can edit Meta Tags, add GA, GSC – it looks like just schema CANNOT be added. |

| Livebooks | Newest Version: Can be fully optimized. OLD VERSION: Global tags (we can implement analytics) – This has a landing page which you can get ranking pretty well. You can add content/meta/titles on the landing page. The rest is flash. |
| Mac sites (Iweb) | We can’t do anything with them (DO NOT SELL). Client must install 3rd party software and implement changes themselves. Sell them a new site or have them switch to EverWeb (new mac builder). |

| WebsiteForge.com | Everything can be done, don’t forget to “Save Text Frame Changes” and “Publish Site Now” for all changes. |
| Wix | We can optimize. Put entire GA4 code in custom code section (that way GSC will verify right away and you don’t need to put in Meta Tag). |
| WordPress | Ask client if they are in free or paid theme (ask if they know the name of theme). Some themes have limitations. Some free themes cannot integrate analytics or can only do global title b/c they don’t work with our SEO plugins. |
| WordPress.com Site | These are free personal blogs hosted by WordPress with a lot of limitations, can only do global tag. If they have a subdomain on wordpress.com (i.e. https://EXAMPLE.wordpress.com) then SEO won’t help them (they should focus on SMM/blogging). Recommend redevelopment into a regular WordPress site. |
| X Cart | We can make all changes. |
| Yahoo Site Solutions | You can change the Title and Descriptions of every page by changing a page layout setting to “X Columns WITH TITLE” that adds an H1 tag to the page which becomes the Page Title.
