Strikingly makes single-page sites and simple stores, but it offers no API to publish posts into its blog. Sorank still gives you a fully automated SEO blog on your own domain.
Strikingly is built for fast one-page websites, not developer publishing. There is no endpoint to push an article into the Strikingly blog, so instead of adding every post by hand in the editor, you let Sorank host the blog for you.
Sorank publishes and hosts your articles on your own subdomain, for example blog.yourdomain.com, linked from your Strikingly site. Every post strengthens your domain authority.
Full walkthrough: Host your blog on Sorank.
Add a Blog link in your Strikingly navigation pointing to your hosted blog subdomain. Visitors move smoothly between your main site and your blog, and Google indexes both under your domain.
Can Sorank publish directly into the Strikingly blog? No. Strikingly has no public API to create blog posts, on any plan.
Do I keep my content if I leave? Yes. Export your whole blog any time and re-import it elsewhere. Your content is always yours.
Does the hosted blog cost extra? No, it is included in your Sorank subscription.
