My blog post are not being indexed by google.

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?

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...

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:

1. In the Home menu, click Analytics.
2. Click Search keywords.
3. Click Connect in the panel's pop-up...."

what pop-up saying connect?
there is none...

Does anyone know what I need to do?

Dealing with this same issue.  Did the same thing you tried but still nothing.

You do not need to connect to GSC via SS. Just visit GSC from your browser and follow the steps to add your property. 

This does not answer the question as to why our blog post are not being indexed by google.

Hello. My comment was in reply to @alison0201's issue above with GSC.

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. 

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.

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.

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.

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!

+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.

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.

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....

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
