🔍 Understanding the Challenge
Website Studio is a standalone site builder that requires its own domain or subdomain to host and preview pages. This means you cannot directly "push" a page into an existing WordPress installation the same way you would install a plugin or upload a template.
However, if Atlas Brain recommended creating new service pages within your main domain, there are practical methods to achieve this without replacing your WordPress site or harming your SEO. This article walks you through your current options.
⚙️ How Website Studio Publishing Works
When you build a page in Website Studio, it is hosted on Search Atlas infrastructure under a domain or subdomain you assign to it. This is separate from your WordPress environment. To make that content live on your main WordPress domain, you need to transfer or embed the content — not replace your existing site.
Key point: Publishing to Website Studio does not touch your WordPress installation. Your existing WordPress pages, SEO settings, and domain authority remain fully intact.
🛠️ Option 1 — Copy Content Manually into WordPress
This is the most reliable method for preserving SEO while getting your Website Studio content onto your WordPress domain.
- Open Website Studio from the left sidebar and select the page you want to publish.
- Review the page content: headings, body copy, images, and calls to action.
- Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard.
- Create a new page or post in WordPress (for example, using the block editor or your page builder of choice).
- Recreate the content from your Website Studio page inside WordPress, using the same headings, text, and structure.
- Publish the WordPress page under the target URL slug recommended by Atlas Brain (for example, yourdomain.com/services/your-service).
This approach gives you full control over the WordPress page and ensures it is indexed correctly under your main domain.
📋 Option 2 — Export HTML and Embed in WordPress
Website Studio allows you to export your page as HTML. You can then embed this HTML inside a WordPress page using a Custom HTML block.
- In Website Studio, open your completed page.
- Use the export option to download the page HTML.
- In WordPress, create a new page and switch to the code editor or add a Custom HTML block.
- Paste the exported HTML into the block.
- Preview the page to confirm it renders correctly, then publish.
Important: Exported HTML from Website Studio is built with React. A plain HTML paste may not render as expected in all WordPress environments. If you experience a blank page after pasting, this is a known limitation. See the note below.
Known limitation: The current HTML export from Website Studio packages the page as a React application. This format does not always render inside a standard WordPress Custom HTML block and may display as a blank page. If this happens, Option 1 (manual content recreation) is the recommended workaround while a dedicated WordPress publishing integration is being developed.
🌍 Option 3 — Use a Subdomain and Link Internally
If you need to publish quickly and can accept the page living on a subdomain, you can host it through Website Studio on a subdomain such as pages.yourdomain.com and link to it from your main WordPress site.
- Assign a subdomain (for example, pages.yourdomain.com) to your Website Studio project.
- Publish the service page to that subdomain.
- Add internal links from relevant pages on your main WordPress site pointing to the subdomain page.
- Submit the subdomain URL to Google Search Console so it can be indexed.
SEO consideration: Pages on a subdomain are treated as a separate entity by search engines. For maximum authority, recreating the content directly on your main domain (Option 1) is preferable. Use the subdomain approach only as a temporary or supplementary measure.
✅ Which Option Should I Use?
- Best for SEO: Option 1 — manually recreate the page in WordPress under your main domain.
- Fastest to deploy: Option 3 — publish to a subdomain and link from your main site.
- Experimental: Option 2 — HTML export, but expect potential rendering issues with the current export format.
🚀 What's Coming Next
Search Atlas is actively developing a dedicated WordPress publishing integration for Website Studio. This will allow you to publish pages directly from Website Studio to your WordPress site without manual steps. This feature is currently in development and will be announced when available.
