BobbyMillette Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Site URL: https://www.bobbymillette.com/ Hi, It seems that most of my blog post are not being indexed by google. I have submitted my sitemap and I have also submitted each page manually. I talked to two squarespace support agents and they basically just pointed me to an article that doesn't help. My pages are all set to public and there is no code injected on the site that would set it to no index. I would contact google but it's almost impossible to reach a real person. Anyone know what could be going on? Link to comment
alison0201 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I'm not having much luck with this sort of thing either. I agree too with difficulty in trying to find real person to ask anything of...and not just being directed to irrelevant info. sorry, no answer for you, just another question... "Connect your Google Search Console account The Search keywords panel shows how visitors locate your site. Connect and verify your site in this panel and return later to review the data: In the Home menu, click Analytics. Click Search keywords. Click Connect in the panel's pop-up...." what pop-up saying connect? there is none... Does anyone know what I need to do? Alison Link to comment
SeanGarner Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Dealing with this same issue. Did the same thing you tried but still nothing. BobbyMillette and jblpropel 2 Link to comment
ChristineDarby Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 You do not need to connect to GSC via SS. Just visit GSC from your browser and follow the steps to add your property. ★ Official Squarespace Specialist since 2014 ★ SEO Consulting and Training ★ Link to comment
BobbyMillette Posted June 18, 2022 Author Share Posted June 18, 2022 This does not answer the question as to why our blog post are not being indexed by google. Link to comment

nikkig127 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 This is a problem that Squarespace needs to address. I have at least 6 blogs that haven’t been indexed since March. I’ve requested that they be indexed and taken all of the proper steps to have them indexed, but there is still something keeping them in the “discovered, not indexed” status, while I have WordPress blogs created more recently have been indexed without issue.

Insider Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 As painful as it is, have you tried manually requesting an index? FWIW, I too am in struggleville on this matter: I'm trying to manually request index for a week and see if this makes any significant difference. Good luck to all, looks like we're on our own on this one. Link to comment
MJB1923 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Exact same issue here. I moved two sites from WordPress and what a mistake. Blogging is a key component of my SEO strategy and on Squarespace, NONE of my blog posts appear at all in Google. The site pages do -- even the blog homepage. But none of the individual posts. Somewhat shocking really. Link to comment
MJB1923 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Looks like my issue may be that Squarespace robots.txt is blocking the indexing of blog posts. How ridiculous. Anyone know if I can edit the robots.txt? If not, I'll have to leave SS. A major pain since I just moved two sites here, but not allowing blogging to be indexed is obviously a major flaw. hthjones 1 Link to comment
jamiechancetravels Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 So glad to have found this topic - I'm having major issues since leaving Wordpress for Squarespace. Worse more recently as new posts just do not end up ranking; it's all very strange! If anyone has any answers it would be greatly appreciated! Link to comment
NiclasG Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 +1 No new blog posts since March has been indexed. How long do we have to wait on a solution for this? It's getting frustrating. Link to comment
triple6 Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Has anyone found an issue for this? I'm getting the same errors and seeing that only my homepage is being indexed, nothing else, and primarily no blog articles, which is the purpose of my entire site. Link to comment

Something must have changed from Squarespace's side in the last few weeks, seems like my new blog posts are getting indexed without any issues now.... Link to comment
davegreber Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I'm also having the same problem for my blog posts not being indexed. I've tried manually pushing it from SS settings to GSC and that doesn't work. Additionally, my homepage will not be indexed by google because of a "soft404" I've tried adding content, etc. There's actually a lot of content. From other forums It seems like a few other people have had this same problem when they shifted from 7.0-7.1 Link to comment
