much love from the Philippines! most of the trainings available in our country is about wordpress. so thank you for making this! this is exactly what i'm looking for!
Thank you, Charlotte. This video was exactly what I was looking for. I opened a Squarespace website about a year ago for no other purpose in life than to simply display some of my photos. No sales, just to display. All other Squarespace UA-cam videos I watched or SEO explanation videos either assumed the viewer knew the basics of SEO including all the technical jargon, and/or did not give any step-by-step tutorials on how to do what they were explaining.. I'm a total noob with all this stuff, so I was looking for an explanation of the basics in take-me-by-the-hand-and-lead-me-around fashion. One question that came to mind while watching you video - How do you get an email address from your domain? My domain is purchased through Google Domains, and I would like to have an email address with my website's name instead of using a gmail account.. Thank you once again Cheers from Kingston, Ontario, Canada. David
Yay so glad this video was helpful, David! Thanks for watching :) With regards to setting up an email address linked to your domain, check out THIS Squarespace article > support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/205812268-Custom-email-addresses-and-Squarespace
Hi Charlotte Just re watching video as about to do Seo I noticed next to the connection to google to allow access to site for search results there is also Facebook. Does that mean I can get Facebook to trawl through site aswell?
@@chrisgironde6669 Hi again! No - this is the section where you connect your Squarespace website to Facebook so that you can display social icons and share content easily between the two platforms. More info here, enjoy! :) support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/206544007-Connecting-Facebook-to-Squarespace
Thanks so much Charlotte. You make perfect sense . I am just trying to work out how to build my own website. Many of the tutorials are run by men who speak so quickly and it such a monotone that my brain refuses to engage!
Hey! Im loving this content. I have a question that I am genuinely concerned about. at 14:20 you mentioned the services page and having all your services on one page can affect your SEO. I just built my site and learning pretty much everything on the go. Could you elaborate on that ? Im not sure if I should work on my services page or what. I dont have seperate tabs as such on under the services main tab. I created a new page for each service. Please let me know what to do or if we should connect lets make that happen.
Hey Nathan, thanks so much for watching! Ohhh great point of clarification, I'll add that video idea to my list. If you created a new page for each service, then you're probably fine but feel free to email me if you'd like to chat further/set up a consulting session!
This was really helpful. I'm a Wordpress designer but I've got a coaching client who's site is on SS and I've been trying to help her with a few things. I don't find SS intuitive, so I appreciate what you've done here! Thank you!!
Thanks for the helpful video- my website homepage does not have the SEO tab under advanced under marketing. I also do not have the connect account option under settings. I was just added as a contributer by my boss- could this be because I dont have full admin access or how do I get these options to show up? Thank you so much!
Hi Charlotte ... my screen has none of those options ?? why ??? also I am very interested in signing up for one of your training video but what happen if my screen does not match your video ?? let me know ... thanks, Renee
Hi Renee! Do you mean that you aren't able to see the Pages/Design/Marketing/etc options on the left hand side once you log into Squarespace? My first guest is that someone else built your site and then set you up as a contributor but did not give you full Administrator permission levels to access everything. If that's the case, it should be an easy fix - just get your permissions updated and you'll be good to go! Excited to see you inside one of my trainings (like my signature program, Top Squarespace SEO!) :) -Charlotte
Thank you, but after working with your instructions for a little bit, I gave Chat GPT a try and asked me to generate an html table. After asking a few more questions to refine the design I was good to go with a simple copy and paste ;-)
You're welcome Ingvar! If you're talking about a single image using an image block, open the image editor > click the content tab> fill out the image alt text field > click save
Hi Charlotte, I have a question about using an index for my home page. With the index I currently have just individual pages attach to it, for about, process, Motivation, etc... These pages show as small like, mini pages.(If google sends them directly to URL slug link) So I hide them from the SEO, is this method doable? Or am I shooting myself in the foot? Thanks in advance!
Hi Gary! I actually have a video here on my channel that talks all about Squarespace index pages and SEO - search and watch that one, it answers your question and shows you why :)
Hi Charlotte. I am currently a Contributor to my client's Squarespace website. Can I still do the SEO process on her website? I can't see the settings tab in her dashboard. That’s why I can’t optimize it.
Hi Grace! Yes but you will need to have full Administrator permission level to your client's SS website, ask them to update that and you'll be good to go :) Thanks for watching!
Charlotte this was so helpful and easy to follow, thank you! I do have one question though, is there a way we can test the results after say a month to see the improvements in ranking or not?
Hi Giuseppe, so glad to hear you like this video! YES there are definitely numbers and stats you can/should track every month to evaluate your progress - please watch this video ua-cam.com/video/W7gQhmqduik/v-deo.html Enjoy!
amazing, clear and super helpful video! thank you girl!

You're so welcome Sarah, glad you found this video helpful!
how can I get multiple pages under a main page like you did with the services page....I can't figure out how you have the drop down arrow
Hi Mark! Simply add a folder into the main navigation and then drag all the pages you want inside the folder :)
Such a great and thorough tutorial
Glad you liked it, Jace!
Thanks for the helpful video- my website homepage does not have the SEO tab under advanced under marketing. I also do not have the connect account option under settings. I was just added as a contributer by my boss- could this be because I dont have full admin access or how do I get these options to show up? Thank you so much!
Hi Clare! Yes, get upgraded to full Administrator permission access and then you will be able to see all the Squarespace features :)
@@CharlotteOHara1 Thank you so much!!

That's one way to do it! Keep me posted on how that works out for you and thanks for watching :)
Awesome. So, how do we add alt text to images?
You're welcome Ingvar!
If you're talking about a single image using an image block, open the image editor > click the content tab> fill out the image alt text field > click save
