Here Are 5 of My Favorite Budget-Friendly Resources to Boost Your SEO

Whenever I have a consultation with a new client they inevitably ask me about SEO.

Uh, well I have one last question, is the CEO included?
CEO? Do you mean SEO?
Yes, SEO, is SEO included in the website design?

Most clients I work with know that SEO is important but they don’t really understand the mechanics behind it. That’s why I wanted to write this post - to demystify the elusive SEO.

When I build websites, SEO is indeed included in the website design because Squarespace has its own built-in SEO. You can read more about what Squarespace does for SEO here.

But….if you REALLY want to boost your SEO, I recommend spending a few hours diving deeper into your backend (no pun intended) and beef it up yourself.

First, though, I’d like to define what SEO actually is.

SEO stands for SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION. Essentially, SEO is a series of best practices that will help you improve your site’s ranking in search results such as Google or Bing. If you don’t have a lot of money to pay a professional SEO CEO, don’t worry, there are plenty of resources out there that show you exactly what to do so that you can skyrocket your web traffic.

Here are 5 of my budget-friendly resources to help boost your SEO:

1. Listen to this Twelfth House podcast episode entitled SEO is Spellwork with Team Holicistism. In the episode, they break down what SEO is and how to make it work for your site. The epsiode is great if you are an absolute SEO novice.

2. Go through this comprehensive Squarespace generated SEO Checklist and then start ticking the tasks off your list.

3. Take this FREE course all about Squarespace SEO.
