I actually really liked the webinar.
However just wanted to add.
A solid Squarespace SEO campaign boils down to the following three aspects: On page, Off page and Technical SEO.
Let's break these down in real simple terms.
i) On Page SEO
Make sure your pages are written in a way that target the right keyword and have plenty of content to support it.
How did I rank at the top of page 1 for "Squarespace SEO Consultant?"
Check out the page here (or search for it if you like 😀)
Notice 4 things:
i) The keyword is in my URL handle.
ii) The keyword is in my H1 tag.
iii) The keyword is used throughout the content.
iv) The content there is to support the main keyword.
That generally sums up the main aim of On Page - I've chosen the keyword I am aiming to rank - as clients and partners can find me with that the keyword (if you want an SEO consultant who specialises in Squarespace don't hesitate to reach out).
ii) Technical SEO
The great thing about Squarespace, is that it actually takes care of a lot of this for you already.
Sure, you need change your settings to enforce HTTPS and you need to set up Google Search Console but apart from that you're pretty much set.
iii) Off Page SEO
You need to get links.
See here I managed to get featured in the following:
- Fiverr quoted me:
https://www.fiverr.com/resources/guides/programming-tech/blogging-platforms
- My university featured me: https://www.york.ac.uk/enterprise-works/entrepreneurial-journeys/harry-boxhall/ (
- Contributed to a post: https://hashtagpaid.com/banknotes/the-role-of-creator-marketing-and-influencers-in-the-b2b-world
All these types of links help support your website authority to allow you to rank for keywords. See my traffic growth below over the last few months after I put effort into my Squarespace site (harryboxhall.co.uk).
So if you ever find yourself wondering "Is Squarespace good for SEO?".
The answer is absolutely, but that doesn't mean you can't have an SEO strategy in place.
Hopefully that's where I help.
