Why Isn’t My Squarespace Site Showing Up on Google?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 10:03 am

If you’ve created a website using Squarespace, but can’t find it when you search for it on Google, there are a few possible explanations. It’s possible that your site isn’t finished yet, and Google hasn’t indexed it.

Or, you may have accidentally made your site private, which means that only people who are logged into their Squarespace account can see it. Finally, your site could be penalized by Google if you’re not following their webmaster guidelines.

If your Squarespace site isn’t showing up on Google, the first thing you should do is check to see if it’s been indexed yet. You can do this by searching for “site:yoursitename.com” on Google.

If your site comes up in the results, then it has been indexed and there’s no need to worry. If not, then there are a few things you can do to troubleshoot.

One possibility is that your site isn’t finished yet, and Google hasn’t indexed it. If this is the case, the best thing to do is wait a few days and try again. If your site still isn’t appearing on Google after a week or so, there could be another issue.

PRO TIP: If you are wondering why your Squarespace site is not showing up on Google, there are a few potential reasons. First, it is important to note that it can take Google up to two weeks to index a new website. So, if your site is less than two weeks old, it is possible that it simply has not been indexed yet. Secondly, if your site is not showing up in specific searches, it could be because your site is not optimized for those keywords. Finally, if your site was previously indexed by Google but is no longer appearing in search results, it is possible that your site has been penalized by Google for engaging in black hat SEO practices. If you believe your site has been penalized, you should reach out to Google for more information.

Another possibility is that you accidentally made your site private, which means that only people who are logged into their Squarespace account can see it. To fix this, go to the “Settings” tab in your Squarespace account and make sure that the “Site Visibility” setting is set to “Public.”

Finally, your site could be penalized by Google if you’re not following their webmaster guidelines. To check if this is the case, go to the “Google Search Console” and look for any messages from Google about why your site might be penalized. If you see any messages, follow the instructions provided to fix the issue.

Conclusion:

There are a few possible explanations for why your Squarespace site isn’t showing up on Google. It’s possible that your site isn’t finished yet or that you accidentally made it private. Additionally, your site could be penalized by Google if you’re not following their webmaster guidelines.
