Content Creation & Optimisation
Web Content Creation
Content Creation for Web
Tailoring content to the consumption behaviours of web-browsers
- Be mindful of the audience, messaging, readability and findability of web content.
- Content takes our users on a journey from page scanning, to finding relevant content, to looking for the next steps.
- It is easy to lose a web-browsers' focus on web. So, we want to create smooth user journeys. This is where clear key messaging is important.
- "Next steps" must be thought about when web copy writing - what do we want the user to do next?

Asset Management
Images
Assets are a big part of Anchor Food Professionals
Assets support our content and design but are also vital for SEO and page performance. If our assets aren't maintained correctly, we risk our health score and site ranking being impacted.
Managing/maintaining assets is hard work and so we need your support to keep the files clean.
File Dimensions:
- Standard landscape/portrait page images: 1100x733px or 733x1100px, max 150kb
- Product images: 750x573px, max 150kb
- Banner images: 1280x640px, max 250kb
- Icons: 467x467px, max 15kb
You must also be sure that you have licensing for the image you are uploading to the Dam.
* Size is important - images that are too big will slow a page's loading time
File Size:
- Standard landscape/portrait page images: max 150kb
- Product images: max 150kb
- Banner images: max 250kb
- Icons: max 15kb
Image File Naming conventions:
- Must be 3-6 words long
- Must not include spaces, capitals or special characters
- Spaces must be replaced by hyphens ('-')
- Must be descriptive - use key words related to the image's content
- If uploading multiple versions of same image, add "1,2,3" i.e. "afp-recipe-pavlova-3"
Image Metadata
Image metadata is even more important for SEO.
Metadata within the Dam includes:
- title of the asset in the Dam (separate to file name)
- description of the image
- time and date it was last modified
- size of the image
- name of the folder it is contained in
- Plus more stuff we don't need to worry about
We have the ability to directly edit within AEM Dam:
- Asset title
- Asset description
You can add this after you have uploaded an image.
See the screenshot below where you can edit these.
Image Tags
Image tags help us as authors to find the images we want to use.
Once you have sized and named the file correctly, uploaded it, and added in metadata, you are now ready to add tags to the image. This will help us when searching for an image.
You can find tags under: AFP - Filters
Where to edit image metadata
Under 'Properties (p)
Videos
Uploading videos onto YouTube
We use YouTube to add videos into AEM.
Learn how to upload videos below.
YouTube videos are also searchable
To make the most of YouTube as a channel, we need to ensure we:
- Add videos to the correct playlist
- Follow the same naming conventions as videos already on YouTube
- Add a relevant video description
- Add relevant tags
Inserting videos into your webpage
- Once the video is uploaded on YouTube, click the share button.
- Choose the 'Embed' option. Highlight ONLY the URL from the embed code.
- Copy and paste the ID after the https://www.youtube.com/embed/ into the YouTube component e.g 1rrobgQSju0 from this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rrobgQSju0
Once you have inserted the video URL, add a relevant image (either a screenshot of the video or other).
PDFs
Uploading PDFs into the DAM
- To upload PDFs: Assets - AFP All Site Assets - PDFs
- Naming convention: "afp-document-name"
