Problems with Squarespace Title Tags
-
Hi All,
I'm having problems editing the title tags on individual pages on Squarespace. It seems the only way to do it is via the page title name. Here is an example: http://www.autismsees.com/research/. The page is called research, so it makes that the meta title. The problem is I want to keep research on the page and the Meta Title be: Autism Spectrum Research. I'v tried searching over the web, but no luck so far. Thanks for your help.

I agree.
Squarespace is a great tool and EASY to use for those that are starting out. However, if you are truly looking to be a competitor in Search, IMO, you will need to stay away from these types of platforms as they tend to be problematic and not offer the flexibility needed to properly optimize the site.
As MoosaHemani said, use WordPress or similar. If your site will be eCommerce, just install Woo Commerce and call it a day. This will give you all the flexibility needed.
Good Luck! -
I did some research but it seems like Squarespace didn’t actually have their plugin directory which is quite weird. As they don’t have a plugin directory, similar to wordpress or open card or Joomla, they probably didn’t have their SEO plugin as well.
My advice would be to move to a platform where there are plugins and extensions available for every little thing so that you can freely use them and move on accordingly.

Importance of City in Title?
Anyone doing SEO for a local business ever tried to do an A/B test between city name in title and not in title? Seems that if you have a Google Places for Business Listing and have correct NAP on your web pages, Google places heavy importance already on that when determining geographic relevance in their algo. As a business expands, maybe not that far from their original service area but starts to offer services in other nearby cities some of which may be as big of a population as the city the business is located in, it seems to make less and less sense to put city names in the title if not for the basic reason of making the title too long. But what if your primary area is basically three cities and including them pushed your title to say, 90 characters. How much does city name in the title tag matter when you are already coming up the local 3-pack map listing on search results for the relevant cities?

On Page Content. has a H2 Tag but should I also use H3 tags for the sub headings within this body of content
Hi Mozzers, My on page content comes under my H2 tag. I have a few subheadings within my content to help break it up etc and currently this is just underlined (not bold or anything) and I am wondering from an SEO perspective, should I be making these sub headings H3 tags. Otherwise , I just have 500-750 words of content under an H2 tag which is what I am currently doing on my landing pages. thanks pete

Parallax and Title Tags
I've noticed an issue with our site, which uses parallax on multiple pages. Here is an example: If you search for About SQL Sentry, you get the correct title tag and description If you search for SQL Sentry Careers (which is on the about us page) it appears that Google has made up a title tag and description for it. Is there any way to force a separate title tag for a part of a parallax page?
