Introduction

SEO isn't a one-time task. Your Squarespace site needs regular check-ups to stay visible in search results. SEOSpace makes this simple by automating the monitoring process and giving you clear steps to improve. This chapter shows you how to use SEOSpace to keep your site performing well over time.

Lessons

Setting Up Regular SEO Monitoring

SEOSpace works best when you check your site regularly. Monthly scans catch problems before they hurt your rankings.

Step 1: Open your Squarespace dashboard and find the SEOSpace section
Step 2: Click on the scanning tool and set it to run monthly
Step 3: Turn on email alerts so you get results sent to your inbox
Step 4: Pick a time when your site gets less traffic, like weekend mornings

This is the bit most people miss – they run one scan and forget about it. Regular monitoring catches changes early.

Tracking Your SEO Performance

SEOSpace gives you a dashboard showing how your site performs. Focus on these key areas:

Keyword rankings: See which search terms bring people to your site
Backlinks: Check who's linking to your content
Site speed: Monitor how fast your pages load
Technical issues: Spot broken links or missing meta descriptions

Step 1: Review your keyword positions after each scan
Step 2: Look at your backlink report to see new links or lost ones
Step 3: Check the site speed section for pages that load slowly
Step 4: Read through any technical warnings

Roll your sleeves up and spend time understanding what these numbers mean for your site.

Acting on SEOSpace Recommendations

Each scan gives you a list of improvements. Some take minutes, others need more planning.

Quick wins to tackle first:

• Fix broken internal links
• Add missing meta descriptions
• Compress large images
• Update old content with new keywords

Longer-term improvements:

• Rewrite underperforming pages
• Build more internal links between related content
• Create new content for important keywords
• Improve your site structure

Step 1: Open your recommendations list
Step 2: Mark quick fixes and do them straight away
Step 3: Schedule time for bigger improvements
Step 4: Set reminders to check your progress

Here's the quick version – small changes done regularly beat massive overhauls done rarely.

Practice

Set up your first monthly SEO scan in SEOSpace. Once it's complete, pick three recommendations from the results and schedule time to implement them this week. Note which metrics you want to track most closely – typically keyword rankings, site speed, and technical issues give you the best overview.
