When your Squarespace site's SEO isn't working as expected, knowing where to get help can save you hours of frustration. SEOSpace offers three main support channels, each designed for different types of problems.

Lessons
Finding Answers in SEOSpace Documentation
The documentation library is your starting point for most SEO troubleshooting. Here's how to use it effectively:
Step 1: Go to the SEOSpace support page and click on the documentation section.
Step 2: Use the search function to find articles related to your specific issue.
Step 3: Check the article date to ensure you're reading current information.
Step 4: Follow the troubleshooting steps in order, testing your site after each change.
The documentation covers everything from basic metadata setup to advanced technical SEO fixes. Most common problems have step-by-step guides with screenshots.
Getting Quick Help Through Chat Support
Chat support works best for immediate questions and simple troubleshooting. Here's how to make the most of it:
Step 1: Check if chat support is currently available on the SEOSpace support page.
Step 2: Prepare your question beforehand. Include your site URL and a clear description of the problem.
Step 3: Have your browser open to the problem page so you can share details quickly.
Step 4: Take notes during the chat session for future reference.
Chat support typically handles questions about tool features, basic setup issues, and clarification of documentation.
Using Ticket Support for Complex Issues
Some SEO problems need detailed investigation. Ticket support is designed for these situations:
Step 1: Go to the SEOSpace support area and select 'Submit a Ticket'.
Step 2: Choose the most relevant category for your problem.
Step 3: Write a detailed description including:
- What you were trying to do
- What happened instead
- Steps you've already tried
- Your site URL and affected pages
Step 4: Attach screenshots or screen recordings if they help explain the issue.
Step 5: Check your email regularly for updates and respond promptly to any questions.
Ticket support handles technical problems, site audits, and issues that require backend investigation.
