Our Tailored Squarespace SEO Approach
Keyword Research And Optimization
Every SEO strategy starts with keyword research; it’s about finding the terms your prospective customers are actively searching for. We use a number of metrics to find the right keywords to target. Our team gets granular, looking at data like:
- Search volume
- The keywords your competitors are ranking for
- User intent when they search for a keyword
- And more
Content Strategy Development
Content is king, and it’s one of the keys to getting your Squarespace website to rank on Google. We’ll formulate a detailed strategy, which will include:
- A page for each of the pillar keywords we’re targeting
- Silos to connect pages relevant to each keyword together
- Optimization for your existing content
Technical SEO Enhancements
To fully realize our Squarespace SEO strategy, we’ll need your site to:
- Load quickly
- Be easy for search engines and users to navigate and understand
- Be secure
- Optimizing your internal linking structure
- Optimizing anchor text
- Optimizing images
- Optimizing headers and footers
- Adding schema
- Eliminating orphan pages
- Ensuring that page titles and headers are properly sequenced and descriptive

Off-Page Authority Building
Google and other search engines use links to determine whether or not a site is trustworthy; if trustworthy sites are linking to your website, you’re more likely to improve your performance in the search engine results.
Our off-page team takes care of this for you. We find high-quality websites related to your niche, connect with the owners of those websites, and encourage them to link to the high-quality content we’ve produced for you.
Ongoing Monitoring And Reporting
We use Google Search Console, Google Analytics, and several third-party and proprietary tools to monitor your website’s performance. We know that SEO can be complicated; that’s why we offer monthly reporting to keep you up-to-date on your progress and show you how our SEO services are driving traffic to your Squarespace website.

Frequently Asked Questions

The cost of Squarespace SEO varies depending on exactly which services you need. We typically only take on clients earning $1 million in revenue or more; for clients earning less, our First Rank Accelerators program may be an excellent alternative.
The answer varies, but you can typically expect to wait a few months before seeing results from SEO efforts. Google takes time to track, analyze, and adjust to changes, and SEO is a long-term strategy. We’ll have to make a number of changes to your site, create content, and earn backlinks, so the process can take some time.
No. No one can guarantee a #1 ranking on Google, and Google even warns you not to trust anyone guaranteeing a #1 ranking.
What we can promise is that we’ll work hard to improve your rankings for keywords that are relevant to your business. These keywords will target customers at every stage of the buying cycle, so that people who are actively looking for your services or products will find you.
We’re called First Rank—even though we can’t guarantee a #1 ranking, we’re proud to have many #1 rankings under our belt. We always strive to get #1 for our clients, and even our #2 and #3 rankings for high quality keywords drive traffic and qualified leads to your business.
The main difference between Squarespace and platforms like WordPress is the lack of plugins; this means it takes a little more technical know-how to optimize a Squarespace site. There are also some other strange technical quirks; headings, for example, can be unusually difficult to modify and manage.
On the plus side, Squarespace sites usually load fairly quickly and they’re mobile-friendly. These are great signals for Google, and once the rest of your site is optimized, you should start seeing results.
While Squarespace lags behind other platforms like WordPress in terms of SEO products and integrations, your Squarespace site can absolutely be optimized to load faster, perform better on search engines, and get you more qualified leads. It’s not about the platform—it’s about the knowledge and skill to optimize your site.
In almost all cases, we can optimize your existing Squarespace site and see dramatic increases in traffic. In rare cases, a site may be so underoptimized that it’s worth it to simply build a new one—but this is the exception, not the rule.
Your site will not experience any downtime during optimization; our technical experts work hard to ensure that any changes are made without the need to take your site offline.
Absolutely. Squarespace has a number of features that make it an excellent e-commerce platform; we have years of experience serving e-commerce clients of all sizes. We have experience working in Squarespace, with Shopify integrations, and more.
