dj_buckley Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Site URL: https://www.daveandco.co.uk/ I've been configuring my site for SEO and how it appears in Google Search. However, the changes I make in Squarespace don't seem to affect the actual search. Everything looks good in the Squarespace previews and as I want it, the reality, however, is very different. How do I get the changes made in Squarespace to carry through to Google? Below I've included the current appearance in Google Search Results. Then the associated settings in Squarespace.

dj_buckley Posted August 12, 2020 Author Share Posted August 12, 2020 Hi Paul Thanks for getting back to me, without sounding like an absolute novice, I'm not sure how to go about it. The site is Verified through HTML, Sitemap and DNS if that helps? Does it make a difference that it's literally just a single cover page? I've tried the URL inspection page too but cant seem to type in anything that works. I constantly get "URL Not in Property". If I type site:daveandco.co.uk I get something different again (see attached). Link to comment

Whilst logged on to the Google Search Console dashboard, select your site from the property menu in the top left corner. Click Sitemaps. Under Add a new sitemap, type sitemap.xml Click Submit to request Google index your site. It may take a few hours (upto a day) for the changes to take effect. Bear in mind that cover pages are designed to contain very little textual information and therefore unlikely to increase discoverability of your brand or site.

dj_buckley Posted August 12, 2020 Author Share Posted August 12, 2020 Thanks Paul I've done all that, as I say I'm verified through sitemap, html and DNS so shouldn't be an issue there. Appreciate what you're saying re: cover pages, however I thought the SEO site titles/descriptions may have appeared Link to comment
