Clean URLs and advanced sitemaps ensure your Squarespace site is search engine friendly. Every page gets automatically optimized with key SEO features:

Built-in SEO Optimizations:

• Automatic XML sitemap generation for all pages and images
• Clean, readable URLs for better indexing
• Structured data for posts, events, products, and organizations
• Automatic meta tags and alt text for images
• Mobile-optimized pages (preferred by Google)
• Clean HTML with proper heading hierarchy

Multiple Domain Handling: Squarespace properly manages multiple domains through 301 redirects to your primary domain, preventing SEO penalties while allowing you to:

• Catch common misspellings
• Prevent competitor domain squatting
• Provide multiple ways for visitors to find you

Product Search Optimization: Products are automatically structured for Google Shopping, displaying:

• Product name and image
• Description and price range
• Availability status
• Product URL

Additional SEO Tools:

• AMP support for faster mobile blog posts
• Customizable meta descriptions
• Free SSL certificates
• Built-in mobile optimization

These features work automatically, requiring no plugins or custom code. However, you'll need to:

1. Enable AMP for mobile blog posts
2. Add custom meta descriptions
3. Ensure SSL is enabled
4. Follow basic SEO best practices

For optimal results, consider:

• Joining Squarespace SEO webinars
• Getting advice from the Squarespace community
• Hiring an SEO expert for advanced optimization

Note: While Squarespace handles technical SEO, search engine rankings depend on many factors and can't be guaranteed.
