Squarespace websites that look great and get found

Squarespace is a strong choice for small service businesses, studios and restaurants that want a beautiful, low-maintenance site. I help you get right the SEO details the templates leave out.

What's included

What Squarespace covers.

Scoped to your site and goals. Not every engagement needs every item, and the audit tells us which ones matter most.

01

Design & build

Squarespace 7.1 sites customised beyond the template, so you don't look like everyone else.

02

Titles, descriptions & slugs

Every page set up with search-friendly titles, descriptions and URLs.

03

Service & location structure

Dedicated pages for each service and area, instead of one page doing everything.

04

Image optimisation

Squarespace serves responsive images, but upload size and alt text still matter.

05

Schema via code injection

LocalBusiness, Service and FAQ markup added at site and page level.

06

Google setup

Search Console, Analytics and Google Business Profile connected and configured.

How I approach it

The honest version

Squarespace handles the technical basics well: SSL, sitemaps, mobile layouts and clean URLs. What it can't do is decide your site structure or write pages that match how people search. That's where most Squarespace sites fall short, and it's fixable.

Its limits (less control over code, fewer advanced SEO settings, a fixed blog structure) matter more for large or complex sites than for most small businesses.

Good questions

Squarespace FAQs.

Is Squarespace bad for SEO?

No. It's perfectly capable for most small businesses. The issue is usually content and structure, not the platform.

Can you add schema to Squarespace?

Yes, using code injection for page-level or site-wide JSON-LD.

Should I move off Squarespace?

Only if you've outgrown it, for example with complex ecommerce, many locations or heavy custom functionality.
