Squarespace is built for design first, and its technical controls reflect that. We work within those limits and focus effort where this platform genuinely performs.
Built specifically for Squarespace websites.
Squarespace prioritises design, and its SEO controls are lighter as a result. Robots.txt access is minimal, redirects are more limited than WordPress or BigCommerce, and category structures stay fairly basic.
There's no app marketplace either, so most technical gaps get closed through code injection rather than a plugin. None of this rules out strong results, it just means the ceiling suits smaller, focused catalogues best.
Squarespace tends to suit catalogues in the tens to low hundreds of products best. For that size of business, its simplicity is a genuine advantage.
Good Squarespace SEO means working inside the platform's constraints, not against them.
Technical fixes, template audits, and content built within Squarespace's real constraints, aimed at getting the right shoppers to your site. Most of the hours go here.
The same work as SEO, just showing up in AI-generated shopping answers too. Built into the standard work already covered above, at no extra cost.
Repurposed from the same core work, used where it makes sense for your store.
Every month, this is what actually gets done on your site:
All time is logged and available on request. The specifics of what gets prioritised get agreed together in advance.
| Typical agency | Us | |
|---|---|---|
| Growth plan cost | ~£2,500/month | £975/month |
| Who does the work | Often a junior, account passed around | Always senior level, every time |
| Contract | Often 6 months minimum | 3 months minimum, then month to month |
| Pricing | Vague quote | Stated plainly, upfront |
| Continuity | Staff change, accounts get reassigned | Same person from day one to year three |
Bespoke project rates can be discussed separately if a fixed monthly retainer doesn't fit what your store needs.
Four steps. No obligation until step four.
15 minutes. We ask about your site, your Squarespace setup, and whether this is even worth pursuing, honestly.
Full technical and content benchmarking against your top competitors, with a priority-ranked list of fixes.
We explain exactly what we found, what we'd fix first, and what kind of impact to expect. No jargon.
If it makes sense, we start with a 3-month minimum, because SEO needs that long to show genuine movement across a catalogue. If it doesn't, you keep the audit.
Your SEO, GEO/AI visibility, Google Merchant Center, social presence, and email, all reviewed and ranked by priority on a call.
A growth-focused SEO retainer from an agency averages ~£2,500 a month. A team big enough to need account managers and junior staff has to charge that just to make money. We keep it small and senior on purpose: no account managers, no juniors learning on your budget. Experienced work costs a fraction of that at every tier below.
A monthly technical pass plus one focused push, whichever your store needs most. A sensible way to see how this works before committing further.
Full month-to-month strategy across SEO, GEO, and content, spent on whatever moves the needle most. 3-month minimum, then month to month.
Everything in Growth, plus priority turnaround and a monthly strategy call, for stores that want this moving as fast as possible.
A replatform, a domain change, or a large URL restructure is one of the highest-risk moments in ecommerce SEO. Done without a proper redirect map and pre-launch technical check, it's realistic to lose a significant share of organic traffic, sometimes for months. If a migration is coming up, this gets folded into the retainer work. See Site Migration SEO for more.
It can, up to a point, but it becomes harder to manage as catalogue size grows into the hundreds or thousands of products. For catalogues at that scale, a platform with more native flexibility is usually a better fit.
Direct robots.txt editing is limited compared to platforms like Shopify or WordPress. We work within the crawl and indexing controls Squarespace does provide rather than relying on full custom access.
We use Squarespace's code injection feature to add structured data manually. There's no plugin ecosystem to install it for you, unlike WooCommerce.
Squarespace's category and tag system is simpler than a dedicated blogging platform's, with less depth for nested or cross-referenced content. We organise within that structure as clearly as the platform allows.
Yes, through Squarespace's URL Mappings tool, though it's less flexible than the redirect management available on WordPress or BigCommerce. We check existing redirects are set up correctly rather than assuming the default is sufficient.
Yes. Templates prioritise visual design, and some design elements can add unnecessary page weight or awkward heading structure that we need to identify and adjust.
No, Squarespace doesn't have an equivalent marketplace. Most technical gaps are closed through the platform's built-in tools and code injection rather than third-party extensions.
Generally once catalogue size, content volume, or technical requirements start exceeding what the platform's native tools can comfortably manage. We flag this as part of ongoing work rather than waiting until it becomes a bigger problem.
A 3-month minimum, because that's roughly how long ecommerce SEO needs to show real movement across a catalogue. After that, it's month to month. Most agencies ask for six months minimum, so this is about half that.
The work still happens every month regardless: audits, fixes, content, and a report on all of it. Nobody can honestly promise rankings, since Google's algorithm sits outside anyone's control. What we can promise is that the work gets done, and an honest conversation if something isn't tracking the way it should.
It's always us doing the actual work, senior level throughout. Pricing is stated upfront. You reach us directly. The comparison table above breaks this down fully.
Genuinely free. It's the way you get to see real findings on your own store before committing any money. We've worked on Squarespace stores and several other platforms across our combined SEO careers.
We'll look at your current visibility, your template setup, your category structure, and the competitors already outranking you. Then we'll show you what we'd fix first.
