If you’re a Squarespace user, you may have noticed that your website isn’t coming up on Google when you search for it. There are a few possible reasons for this:
1. Your site isn’t indexed yet. When you first create a Squarespace site, it can take a few days for Google to index it. This means that your site won’t appear in search results until after Google has had a chance to crawl and index your site’s content.
2. Your site is set to Private. By default, new Squarespace sites are set to Private, which means that only people who have the link to your site can see it. In order for your site to be indexed by Google (and therefore appear in search results), you’ll need to change your privacy settings to Public.
3. You’re using a custom domain. If you’re using a custom domain with your Squarespace site (e.g., www.example.com instead of www.Squarespace.com/example), you’ll need to verify your domain before Google will index your site.
You can verify your domain by following the instructions here. Once you’ve verified your domain, it can take up to 48 hours for Google to index your site.
4. Your site is blocking Google’s crawlers.
If none of the above reasons seem to apply to you, it’s possible that your site is configured in a way that is preventing Google’s crawlers from indexing it. To check if this is the case, you can use Google’s Robots Testing Tool. If you see the error “Unable to reach site” or “Robots.txt blocking access,” this means that your site is indeed blocked from being indexed by Google.
-Your site is not indexed by Google
-Your site is not being crawled by Googlebot
-Your site has low quality content
-Your site has thin or duplicate content
-Your site has structured data errors
If you are still experiencing issues after checking your site’s status on Google Search Console, please contact Squarespace support for further assistance.
5. You have duplicate content on your site.
Another possibility is that there is duplicate content on your Squarespace site (e., multiple pages with the same title and meta description). Google may be having difficulty determining which version of the content is most relevant, which could explain why your site isn’t appearing in search results. To fix this, you’ll need to identify and remove any duplicate content on your site.
Conclusion: So, these are some of the common reasons why a Squarespace website might not be appearing on Google search results even though the website is live and publically accessible.<style> text in HTML using <p>,
