    Service Management Tips

    ​
    Image Recommendations

    • Use landscape-oriented images (16:9 ratio works best)
    • Minimum resolution: 1200 x 675 pixels
    • Keep file sizes under 500KB for optimal loading speed
    • Use descriptive file names before uploading

    ​
    Video Best Practices

    • Prefer YouTube/Vimeo links over uploaded video files for better performance
    • Ensure videos are set to “Public” or “Unlisted” (not Private) on the hosting platform
    • Add multiple videos to create a service gallery
    • Keep videos under 3 minutes for better engagement

    ​
    Country Association

    • Only select countries where the service is actively available
    • Update country associations when expanding to new locations
    • Use the same country entries across services and courses for consistency

    ​
    Content Organization

    • Use clear, customer-focused service titles
    • Write descriptions that answer: What is it? Who is it for? What are the benefits?
    • Update services regularly to reflect current offerings
    • Archive or delete discontinued services

    ​
    Common Issues

    ​
    Multimedia Not Saving

    If multimedia content isn’t being saved:
    1. Check that you clicked the “Subir” button to actually upload files
    2. Verify file formats are supported (JPG, PNG, GIF for images; MP4, MOV for videos)
    3. Ensure file sizes don’t exceed your server’s upload limits
    4. Save the service as a draft first, then add multimedia

    ​
    Countries Not Appearing

    If the countries list is empty:
    1. Navigate to Países in the sidebar
    2. Create at least one country entry
    3. Return to your service and refresh the page
    4. The countries should now appear in the dropdown

    ​
    Preview Not Showing Content

    If preview shows incomplete content:
    1. Save your changes first (click “Guardar borrador”)
    2. Then click preview
    3. Ensure your theme templates are properly configured
