Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 6:32 am

If you’re using Squarespace to build your website, you might be wondering how to change the meta description. The meta description is the brief summary of a webpage that appears in search engine results. It’s important to have a well-written meta description because it can help improve your click-through rate (CTR) and organic search ranking.

Fortunately, changing the meta description on Squarespace is relatively easy. In this article, we’ll walk you through the steps to do it.

First, log into your Squarespace account and go to the website editor. Then, click on the “Settings” tab and select “Website Information.”

PRO TIP: If you are not comfortable working with code, we recommend that you reach out to a developer to help you with this change. Making the wrong change to your code can result in your site not functioning properly.

Here, you’ll see a field labeled “Meta Description.” Simply delete the existing text and enter your new meta description. Be sure to keep it under 156 characters so that it doesn’t get cut off in search results.

Once you’re finished, click “Save” and your new meta description will go into effect immediately. That’s all there is to it!

Changing the meta description on Squarespace is a quick and easy way to improve your website’s SEO. Be sure to take advantage of this simple optimization tip.
