Hi @RosHav. I'd suggest more descriptive headings. ENERGY and ARCHITECTURE feel a bit too generic and don't clearly convey the specific services you offer.

Hi @perthspective_productions. Your site is indexed, you can use the site: command to see the URLs. Place this in your browser: site:perthspective.com Or is this an issue with a particular page?

@Florian I sent you a message.

Hi @SleepyMonk. Keep in mind that GSC indexing reports can be delayed. The "site:" command and the URL inspection tool are good initial checks to see if a page is indexed.

Hi @sakeeley22. To simplify things and improve SEO, use an evergreen URL for recurring events. For example, create a landing page like /taunton-vegan-market that contains all event info. Then, link to the calendar of upcoming events and display Taunton events via category or tag. This way, the page you share on social will always show the latest details and you won’t need redirects.

Hi there! I noticed an earlier post from 2021 in a Google forum where it looks like you mentioned similar redirect problems, so it seems this has been showing up for a while. Just a quick note: not everything flagged in GSC’s index reports is necessarily an "issue" to worry about. That said, after fixing any issue, Google’s validation process can take some time. This might require a deeper dive to pinpoint the root cause, but I do have a simple theory that could explain it. Feel free to reach out—I'm happy to share the idea 😊 Best regards, Christine @ Collaborada

Hi @aggelikitsagkaraki. Your website doesn’t show for "Φωτογράφος Γάμου" because the majority of the content is in English. Simply adding Greek words to a title tag isn’t going to work. If someone searches in Greek, search engines assumes they want Greek-language content. Google specifically says to use different URLs for different language versions: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/specialty/international/managing-multi-regional-sites Feel free to reach out if you have questions about hreflang tags—we’re happy to help!

Hi @mhconsulting @kalevi's reply above is actually the solution. You can see in the source code, the "site name" is still incorrect. Note, based on your screenshot above, you likely want to use the default %p - %s for the Pages title format.

Hi there, thanks for your input. To clarify, we didn’t equate "Site Authority" to Moz’s DA. We noted that DA can be useful for comparison, but it isn’t a metric Google uses for ranking. It’s important to not conflate third-party tools with Google’s proprietary metrics. On the sandbox: saying Google "lied" highlights the importance of firsthand experience. In our experience, well-built legitimate sites generally rank for brand name relatively easily. Claims of a sandbox are more often tied to spam-prone niches or specific site issues. If someone frequently observes volatile behavior, it’s worth considering why their domains might follow this pattern. The hostAge attribute from the API leak pertains to “fresh spam,” not broad suppression of new domains. As for YMYL, it’s not directly relevant to brand-name searches—where relevance is the primary factor. Similarly, NavBoost applies to domains with established user interaction data, not new sites focusing on name visibility. Back to the OP’s question, the basics—proper indexing, clear brand signals, and relevance—are typically sufficient to rank for a brand name. Temporary fluctuations may occur as Google refines its understanding, but these are usually resolved quickly, as appears to be the case here. Hope this helps clarify!

Hi Community, The blog post linked above references some content from our article on using structured data with Squarespace. We noticed that it’s been updated since its first posting, which we appreciate! However, there are still some similarities. For anyone interested in exploring our guide, you can find it here: https://www.collaborada.com/blog/schema-markup Sharing content responsibly helps maintain trust within the community and ensures readers get the best experience. Here are a few tips for referencing external content: Credit the original source: Include a link back to the article or website. Use quotation marks for direct excerpts: Attribute quotes to their source. Or offer a fresh perspective: Write content in your own words to avoid duplication and add value. Thanks so much for your understanding—we appreciate it! Tools like Copyscape can also help refine content to ensure originality.

The above information contains several inaccuracies, so for the benefit of beginners who may come across this thread, here are more details: Squarespace does not auto-generate meta descriptions. If no meta is provided, the field is left blank and Google simply selects content from the page to use in the snippet. Google places no limit on the length of meta descriptions. Google states: “There's no limit on how long a meta description can be, but the snippet is truncated in Google Search results as needed, typically to fit the device width.” The "first line of content" has no special significance. Google may pull it or any other part of the page’s content if it determines that content is more relevant to the search query than the provided meta description. Google documentation: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/snippet#meta-descriptions Note: "Google will sometimes use the <meta name="description"> tag from a page to generate a snippet in search results, if we think it gives users a more accurate description than would be possible purely from the on-page content."

Hi @ianholmes you should see more details if you click into that sitemap.

More often than not, the snippet Google selects from the page content is more relevant and compelling than the pre-written meta description.
