Title Tags: Understanding Squarespace's Automated SEO Elements
Title tags help search engines understand your website's content and structure. Squarespace automatically handles HTML title tags, making it easy for non-technical users to optimize their sites.
Automatic Title Tag Implementation:
- Text formatted as headings automatically receives appropriate title tags
- Key site elements get title tags without manual coding
- Tags are applied hierarchically (H1 to H3) for proper content structure
Title Tag SEO Best Practices:
- Use descriptive, relevant titles
- Structure headings logically (general to specific)
- Format text consistently for better search visibility
Collection Page Title Tags:
- Blog posts: Automatically tagged
- Events: Tagged for listings and individual pages
- Store products: Tagged on product pages
- Portfolio items: Tags vary by layout style
Template-Specific Title Tags: Blog Posts:
- Most templates use H1 or H2 tags
- Some templates (like Brine) use no tags for certain elements
Product Pages:
- Product titles on collection pages: No tags
- Individual product pages: Standard H1 tags
Event Pages:
- Event titles consistently tagged
- Pagination elements tagged automatically
Site Title Treatment:
- Tag implementation varies by template
- Some templates use H1 tags
- Others use no tags for site titles
Customization Options:
- Modify text styles through Site Styles panel
- Font styling independent of HTML tag structure
- Maintain consistent heading hierarchy for SEO
Note: Font styling and HTML tags operate independently - changing one doesn't affect the other.
