If Google Can’t See Your Squarespace Site, Fix This Now
This Google indexing slip-up is surprisingly common for Squarespace users, and I’ve seen it sink great websites before they’ve even had a chance to shine.
You can have the best design, the sharpest copy, and the perfect call-to-action… but if Google doesn’t know your site exists, no one’s going to find it.
The good news is, the fix is simple:
submit your sitemap to Google Search Console and make sure it’s working.
Without this, Google is essentially wandering around in the dark, possibly skipping over your most important pages. I’ve lost count of the number of site owners who assume Squarespace handles this automatically. It doesn’t.
The process is straightforward once you know where to look.
First, grab your sitemap URL (simply add /sitemap.xml to the end of your domain in most cases).
Then, head to Google Search Console, verify your site, and paste that sitemap link in.
From there, keep an eye on the status—errors or “couldn’t fetch” messages are a sign you need to tweak something.
Most importantly, resubmit your sitemap every time you make major changes to your site.
This is how you tell Google, “Here’s my content, and I want you to show it.”
Without it, you risk staying invisible while competitors move ahead.
- Finding and submitting your Squarespace sitemap is essential if you want Google to index your pages quickly and accurately
- Google Search Console isn’t set-and-forget—regular checks keep your site discoverable
- Resubmitting your sitemap after major updates ensures your newest content gets found faster
