🎵 Let’s get down, let’s get down to…. backlinks! 🎵
Lollllll sorry not sorry I’ve got Tiesto’s tunes on the brain today!
Jokes aside, if you’ve ever perused my website you’ll know that I LOVE backlinks and am aways preaching how they’re an often overlooked pillar of Squarespace SEO.
Anytime another website links to yours, it’s a backlink (also known as an inbound link). In Google’s eyes, backlinks indicate that your website is legit and has authority because otherwise no one would be linking to you. So, if search engines see that your website has lots of backlinks from credible, high quality websites, they will reward you for this.
Which brings us to today’s blog post/video tutorial topic! Today, I’m going to show you the super quick & deada$$ simple way to see if your Squarespace website has any backlinks!
You want them, you need them… but do you already have them? Have you been oblivious to the fact that you already have backlinks working in your favour? Or is your website an island alone in the interwebs, completely unconnected to anyone else?
Follow my simple steps and you’ll know for sure!

Gather round, hunnis, for a much-requested topic today about everyone’s favourite topic - Squarespace SEO!
In my ongoing quest to educate the world wide web about Squarespace SEO, I’m coming at you with a brand new lesson/feature/strategy for you to try out on your own website - yippee!
Don’t let the technical term “URL redirect” freak you out - it’s not a scary topic and I know you’ll be pleasantly surprised by how easy they are to set up.
URL redirects are often used to make things simpler and easier for users and visitors who are accessing your website - which makes sense, because we can give them sort and sweet links instead of a crazy long URL slug. People often think about user experience as the first & foremost reason to set up a URL redirect.
But that’s not the only reason why URL redirects are so helpful, useful and effective.
One of my favourite things about URL redirects is how well they can be used from an SEO point of view! That’s right, setting up URL redirects can have some significant SEO effects and may help your website appear higher in search results :)
SEO is hugely valuable because it’s basically free marketing, but that doesn’t mean that it’s easy to master. Honestly, there are so many moving parts and things to keep track of that it’s no wonder people are scared off by those three little letters.
That’s why I’m so keen to share this post and video tutorial with you today so that you can learn all about URL redirects and see how much value they have for SEO.
But before we dive into URL redirects, please make sure that you’re all caught up with my other blog post about URL
