Squarespace SEO Services
Your site looks the part. Now it needs to be found.
Squarespace is brilliant at one thing: making a small business look established in an afternoon. The templates are elegant, the photos look great, and the site works on a phone out of the box.
What it doesn't do is decide what Google should rank you for. That part is still up to you, and on most Squarespace sites, nobody has done it. The site is beautiful and nearly invisible.
Where Squarespace sites usually fall short
-
Page titles nobody wrote
“Home — Your Business Name” tells Google nothing about what you do or where.
-
Everything on one page
Long, scrolling single pages look lovely and rank for very little. Each service needs its own page.
-
Headings chosen for looks
Text styled as Heading 1 because it's the right size, not because it's the main heading. Google reads the structure, not the font.
-
Old addresses with nowhere to go
Pages renamed or deleted without a redirect, so links from other sites land on an error page.
-
Images straight from the camera
Large files that slow the page, with no alt text and file names like IMG_4821.
-
Hidden settings
Pages or collections hidden from search engines, sometimes left over from when the site was built.
What we do
We work inside your Squarespace account: page titles and SEO descriptions written for real searches, tidy URL slugs, redirects set up through URL Mappings, restructured headings, compressed and described images, structured data where your plan allows code injection, and a blog set up so each post can rank on its own. Then we connect Google Search Console and track what changes.
If one page is doing the work of five, we'll suggest how to split it, and write the new pages if you'd like us to.
Building on Squarespace?
We also design and build Squarespace websites, with page structure and SEO planned before the design starts. It suits smaller, design-led businesses that want a site they can update themselves.
FAQs
Is Squarespace good for SEO?
It's perfectly capable. Squarespace handles sitemaps, SSL and mobile layouts for you. The gaps are mostly in how the site is set up, which is fixable.
Can I edit robots.txt on Squarespace?
No, Squarespace manages it for you. In practice that's rarely what holds a small site back.
Do you need access to my account?
For the work, yes. You can add us as a contributor and remove us at any time. Not for the free audit.
How much does Squarespace SEO cost?
Every project is quoted individually.
