Pro Tips & Insights
01
Compounding is paramount for Squarespace SEO. Content published in Week 02 ranks 3x higher in Week 13 than content published in Week 10 due to accumulated internal link equity.
02
Internal links are the 'PageRank' conduits within a Squarespace site. An orphan page (zero internal links) will struggle to rank, irrespective of content quality.
03
Keyword intent for Squarespace users is critical. A keyword with 50 searches but high 'Buyer Intent' (e.g., 'Squarespace custom domain setup') is 10x more valuable than a 5,000 search 'definition' term.
04
Consistent publishing signals authority to search engines. Publishing 10 Squarespace tutorials weekly is often more effective than publishing 100 on a single day.
