As with any website builder/platform, there's a little bit of an experimental phase as you're getting started. These past couple weeks, my goal has been to walk you through Squarespace and make that experimental phase shorter and easier for you as you set up and customize your own site. I started the series with an overview of why I choose and recommend the platform, I shared how to get started by choosing a plan and template, and last week I covered setting up pages and navigation. Today I'm reviewing Squarespace Blocks, which allow you to add content to pages and blog posts. I've gathered the information and help links from the Squarespace site and I've compiled them all onto one page for your convenience. My hope is that this post acts as a helpful resource for those of you who are new to this platform. And for those of you who have been using Squarespace already, you might come across some new blocks that you weren't aware of before.

Today’s blog post/video tutorial comes highly requested by several of my recent Squarespace SEO Audit & Consulting clients and I knew it would be a great topic to share with you here, dear blog reader! One of the biggest struggles of Squarespace SEO is CONSISTENCY. SEO is all about playing the long game. Yes you will see some quick wins but it’s ultimately about lasting results that continue to build over time. As such, you can’t expect to simply spend a few hours tweaking a couple settings on the back end of your website and call it a day, hoping that’s enough to rank on the first page of Google. LOL, I wish! Instead, an effective Squarespace SEO strategy that delivers actual results and sustainable growth requires you to be consistent and stick with this particular online marketing plan over many weeks, months and yes, even years. So…. how do you actually do that? How can you become consistent with your Squarespace SEO strategy in order to grow your website in the way that you want, and reach your dream clients/customers and ideal audience online? As a Squarespace SEO expert and leader in this super random little niche, it’s my job/pleasure to introduce you to things like this and present it in a way that makes you think, yes Charlotte I can handle this!

On the flip side, you might already be familiar with a few points on this list already but maybe you are looking for confirmation that you’re on the right track and haven’t missed anything important. No matter where you are in your Squarespace SEO journey, I know you’ll benefit from this info! Alright, let’s get straight to it - read the post and watch the video tutorial below to see what it takes to actually be consistent with your Squarespace SEO strategy!
This blog post/video tutorial is inspired by a wonderful question I received recently: “Does the version of Squarespace you build your website on have any impact on SEO? Like, is 7.0 or 7.1 a better option than the other?” People come to me because they want to learn more about Squarespace SEO - either for their own websites (if they are taking the DIY route), or for someone else’s (e.g., fellow web designers who are looking for more information for the sites they build for clients). Either way, I’ve got you covered and I’m happy to help you out on your Squarespace SEO journey! But before we get into the goods of this question about Squarespace SEO and versions 7.0/7.1, please take a moment to review the basics covered in Squarespace 101: Beginner’s guide to the 3 most important website settings . This will ensure that your website is set up for success right from the start, which is what you want whether you have a new website or one that’s been around for a while. I’m obviously going to give you the “yes” or “no” answer that you’re looking for here with regards to SEO and Squarespace versions 7.0 and 7.1 but before I do, I’m going to make sure that you understand WHY the answer is what it is. We are going to quickly cover certain key factors of Squarespace SEO and examine how/if they are impacted by the version of Squarespace that a website is built on.

If your website is your business' home online, a great way to think of social media is as if it's the garage attached to the house. Websites and social media channels should work together seamlessly to promote and support your business online. Social media is a great way to circle traffic back to your website and control the message you communicate to your audience. It also lets your audience connect with your business on the platform that makes the most sense to them. Some people who prefer to consume information visually might prefer Instagram or Youtube, whereas a customer with a question might turn to Facebook or Twitter. Connecting your business' social media accounts to your website is a no-brainer but I'm surprised by how often I see businesses skip this step or do it incorrectly. Below you'll find a video tutorial and written instructions on how to connect your social media accounts with your Squarespace website. It's my hope that if you aren't doing this already, you'll take a few moments to connect your social media accounts with your site since it's very easy and has a big impact on your digital presence. I've also rounded up my list of best practices to keep in mind when connecting social media accounts with your website. Read through to the second half of the article for more info!
