Squarespace Web Specialist & SEO Expert – Content Optimization & Backend

ABOUT THE PROJECT We run a premium holistic health and wellness platform built on Squarespace. We are looking for a sharp, detail-oriented Squarespace and SEO Expert to handle the technical optimization, on-page SEO, and content formatting of our website. This is not a creative writing role. Instead, you will be our go-to technical partner to ensure our existing articles and pages look beautiful, function flawlessly, and rank high on search engines. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES Squarespace Layout & Block Editing: Edit, update, and format content directly within Squarespace. You must be comfortable working with Squarespace blocks, fluid engine layouts, and design settings to keep pages clean and professional. On-Page SEO & Article Optimization: Take existing or newly written articles and optimize them for search engines (adjusting headings, meta descriptions, image alt text, and keyword placement). Technical SEO & Schema: Implement appropriate Schema markup (Structured Data) to boost our search presence. Link Management & Redirects: Identify broken links and set up clean 301 redirects within Squarespace to preserve SEO equity and ensure a seamless user experience. Light HTML: Handle basic HTML/CSS tweaks within Squarespace code blocks when standard editor blocks fall short. REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS Squarespace Pro: Deep, hands-on experience managing and editing Squarespace websites. You know the platform's quirks, settings, and limitations inside and out. Strong SEO Background: Proven experience with keyword optimization, URL mapping, and technical on-page SEO. Schema & Metadata Knowledge: Ability to correctly generate and add schema code to a Squarespace site. Technical Precision: Comfortable handling 301 URL redirects and reading/writing basic HTML. Organized & Autonomous: A self-starter who notices formatting errors or broken elements and fixes them without needing hand-holding. NOTE TO APPLICANTS Please provide examples of Squarespace sites you currently manage or have heavily optimized in the past. Detailed brand guidelines and access will be provided to the selected candidate.
