Thx again Mate! I subscribed to your SEO Space. Just getting into it but it looks awesome. Spying on the competition is great for key words. I built my site a couple of months ago and was in the 85% crowd. Will let u know how i sit in a month. Very exciting.

Hi when I try and link the site maps for google console, its showing status as 'couldnt fetch' any ideas how to solve this?

Massive value! Do you need to do 301 URL slug redirects if you haven't sent the site map yet?

You don't need to do it if the original URL isn't indexed/getting impressions, no - you're right!

@@h.purchase thanks 🙏. Can you resend site map instead of the redirects. And what happens if you add a new page after site map has been submitted?
@h.purchase3 ай бұрын
@@stevetragg yes you can, although, I prefer requesting indexing. When a new page is added, Squarespace updates your sitemap after around 48 hours - then GSC will pick up that change automatically

If you make any big changes to the website do you have to re-submit the site map?
@h.purchase15 күн бұрын
Squarespace automatically updates it, so you don't need to resubmit. However, if I make a lot of changes to a page, I will manually request indexing via Google Search Console

Hello. Great video and product. Quick question. I submitted the site map to google console but the status says "couldn't fetch". Is there something I'm missing?
@h.purchase2 ай бұрын
Thanks for reaching out! It will be for 1 of 2 reason. 1. Your sitemap hasn't been generated yet - it takes around 48 hours for Squarespace to make it, if you recently published your site 2. You might have a domain property on your GSC - when you add your sitemap, can you see your URL before the box? If not, you need to type in the whole URL and then the sitemap.xml

Re:blogging: I don’t understand why you said to click ADD blog post from the not linked section - when I imagine you would want your Blog to appear in main navigation? Great video thanks!
@h.purchase28 күн бұрын
It depends! You can do either - in this case, I'm using the blog to attract target customers to the website. If a target customer finds the websites via one of my service pages, I don't want them to get distracted by the blog (when the content I write will be to attract attention, not convert it) - I want them to get in touch/enquire about my services.

Hi Question for you, Henry. In your blog example, I saw that you put it in the "unlinked" section. Is there a reason for that? Can you clarify? Thanks so much for this amazing video!
@h.purchase3 ай бұрын
No worries at all! Happy to help! That was just because I have a special plugin that creates the drop down menu in my header - for that to work it needs to be unlinked. Take a look at my site and you should see what I mean!

Great video. Thank you! Curious to know how AI will play a role in the future. What can we do to be ready for search engines that will inevitably start leaning on their AI technology to "scrape" sites for content and offer that up as "search results"?

@h.purchase3 ай бұрын
Potentially! Although, Google wont go through your site immediately anyway, it usually takes 48 hours I have found - I just like to get it out the way for peace of mind. + by putting that key step closer to the start of the video, more people are likely to see it and get value.

does re-submitting your sitemap into google search console after changing a bunch of slugs do the same thing as a 301 redirect?

No, unfortunately, as Google will think those pages still exist, causing 404 errors

thanks for the video man, just a little question, it gets a bit confusing by 11:44 : I just changed all my "URL slugs names" so how am i supposed to enter their "old name" in the URL Mapping since i just renamed them all ? 😅 also I updated all the clickable links on my squarespace website with the new "URL names", do i still have to do the mapping ? hopefully you understand my question haha thanks
@h.purchase5 ай бұрын
No problem! If you visit Google search console, and then pages, because you only recently changed them, you will be able to find the old URL - or, if you linked to that page anywhere else in your site, you can find it from there.

If you've just published your site, it can take 24-48 hours - otherwise, it might be because you did domain verification when connecting to GSC - in that case, if you don't see your URL before the sitemap box, you will need to type in www.yourURL.com/sitemap.xml

Strictly yes, however, it might not have an impact. I always do redirects, as you never know if you've linked to the old page somewhere on the site - you don't want to create more work for yourself by creating broken links.
