RebelMouse for Site Networks

RebelMouse makes managing multiple, growing properties simple, and does so without the technical debt of alternative solutions. By leveraging RebelMouse’s content management system (CMS), our customers launch fully distributed websites for a mobile-first world, where starting a new content vertical is as simple as clicking a button.

    • Link behavior
    • Canonicals
    • Search results
    • Author management

Link Behavior Options

Set as Drafts, Full Duplicates

This brings in all content as drafts. Creates a full duplicate, meaning a separate post with a different post ID.

The post won't be updated when the original changes in the source site.


Set as Independent Permalinks, Full Duplicates

Publishes the post directly to the section you choose. Creates a full duplicate, meaning a separate post with a different post ID.

The post won't be updated when the original changes in the source site.


Set as Dependent Permalinks, Keep Tracking Changes From Original Source

Publishes the post directly to the section you choose. Creates a full duplicate, meaning a separate post with a different post ID — but it is dependent on the source.

The post won't be updated when the original changes in the source site.


Set Ingested Content to Link Out to Original Source

Publishes the post directly to the section you choose. Creates a full duplicate, but it directly links out to the original post when clicked on.

Canonical Options
  • Leave SeparatedThe ingested post will have its own canonical URL.
  • Reference Original Source in DuplicateThe canonical URL will be set to be the URL of the original post.
Search Result Options
  • Display Ingested Content in Search Results
  • Exclude Ingested Content From Search Results
Author Management
  • Create Replica Authors on Target Site This replicates each author as ingested posts come in.
  • Default All Entries to Author In this drop-down menu, you get to choose any of the authors that the destination site already has.

Streamline Design Work Across Multiple Sites

Clone Designs and Templates

Our site-cloning feature makes creating and managing multiple sites simple, efficient, and effective. With the click of a button, you can clone key settings, including site layout, ads, analytics, and third-party integrations — no additional tech resources needed.

Create Cross-Site Shared Elements

This new feature makes styling work much easier since users are able to update several site layouts at once by editing a single element. This should also prevent duplicating code in similar site layouts, as well as saving users some coding time.

For Example: If we have five sites that should be using the same Top Bar and Footer, then we just have to design it for one site and then reuse it for all of the others.

Share Social Streams Using Content Feeds

The Content and Feeds dashboard allows you to easily bring in social or feed content between sites in your network

Depending on the social platform, you can pull in by hashtag, username, or search. You can choose to either publish your content directly or send it to the "For Review" tab first, where you can then moderate the content before publishing. You can also choose the section where you'd like the posts to be published to right in the tool.

Pro Tip: By connecting multiple social accounts in the Content and Feeds dashboard, editorial teams can cross-post content directly from the Social Sharing tab in the Entry Editor.

The SEO Sidebar Module

With our search engine optimization (SEO) module, you can take advantage of search phrases that are already performing well across your site network. Using data from Google Search Console, teams can cross-link their best content to double-down on your wins and prominently display your best content to visitors and searchbots alike.
