Hey @ItsyBitsy - feel free to send your website over - I'll take a look and explain in a jargon-free way 👌

Hey @Bryce7 - I recommend "manually requesting" indexing on your new blog post pages/URL - that way, Google will manually go through those pages and notice the change. If you haven't already, I recommend setting up a 301 redirect from the old blog URL to the new one. Below is a guide on how to do the above: https://www.seospace.co.uk/blog/301-redirects-squarespace

We have something in the works @CharlottesWebDesignsLLC - if you wouldn't mind emailing info@seospace.co.uk I'll show you so you can share your thoughts 🙌

Hey @zakb, I've just completed a site-wide audit of your website, and here's what I think might be holding you back. Thin content: if you have <300 words on a webpage, this is classed as "thin content" - making it hard for Google to know what to rank you for. Add more content to help here, potentially an FAQ accordion answering top questions from clients towards the bottom of your page if you don't want to add too much text that's "visible". 4/6 of your web pages are classed as "thin" by SEOSpace. Following best practices: Some of your SEO titles and descriptions aren't the right length - SEO titles should be 50-60 characters, and SEO descriptions 150-160. SEO title tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbsIAOqU1qw SEO description tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeweiQFqGWs Broken links: SEOSpace is picking up you have some broken links, for example https://www.wildfirebartenders.com/hire seems to go to a custom 404 page, rather than an actual hire us page? If I were you, thin content is where I'd start 👌 Hope that helps!

Hey @CharlottesWebDesignsLLC - personally, right now, I do this in Ahrefs, but we are building something similar into SEOSpace which will either pull from Google Search Console/Google Analytics or Squarespace Analytics. Ahrefs doesn't pull from SQSP Analytics, but it does connect to Google Search Console. Attached is a sneak peek of a very early version/design 👀

Thanks for the response @Sifat_SEOSpace! The only thing I'd add @RobGorrell is many SEO experts actually recommend 100kb for image size, so our recommendation is in between that and what Squarespace says - it's realistically what's achievable on the platform.

No problem @kneecoal! Let me know how you find it.

Hi @zakb - could you reply with your site so I can take a look please?

Hi everyone 👋 I made this guide for SEO for service businesses - feel free to check it out:

Hi @Rawan, this can be down to a few things - I actually made a graphic that summarises the key points, as people ask this a lot 😅 I've also scanned your homepage with SEOSpace and can see the main thing probably holding you back is thin content - i.e. <300 words on a web page, which makes it hard for Google to know what to rank you for.

Hi @kneecoal - this is usually due to "thin content" on a page - i.e. you have <300 words on a specific web page. If you have more than 300 words on the pages flagged, feel free to ignore the recommendations. SEMRush doesn't provide guidance specific to Squarespace, so sometimes, you'll be told to do things you can't on SQSP. That's one of the reasons I made SEOSpace 👌

Hi @E-W - there isn't unfortunately!

Hey @emiehughes - I have a video on this exact topic which should help!

Potentially make this longer? It might be worth checking out @kristineneil's site: https://kristineneil.com/ - she has tonnes of helpful guidance for ecom sites.

Hey @Evgeniy - you can redirect it using a 301 redirect, but then you will lose rankings for the keywords unfortunately! Could you possibly make the product description longer instead?
