Step 1. Add your location.
The SEO training video goes over this as well. You will do this in two locations
1. Simply go to MARKETING > LOCATION MANAGEMENT > ADD LOCATION and fill in the prompted information.
2. Go to SETTINGS > BUSINESS INFORMATION > and scroll down to fill in your business address under “Physical Location”
Step 2. Connect Google Search Console.
Follow theses steps if you need to create a Google Search Console Account:
1. Simply google search “Google Search Console” and type in your domain.
2. Copy the Text record that pops up
3. In Squarespace go to SETTINGS > DOMAINS > click on your main domain > DNS SETTINGS > ADD PRESET > GOOGLE WORKSPACE VERIFICATION > and paste your Text record.
4. Go back to Google Search Console and hit verify.
5. Back in Squarespace to ANALYTICS > SEARCH KEYWORDS > CONNECT.
6. You’re done! (Need help? Reach out at sarah@magdalenedesignco.)
Step 3. Embed your opt-in forms.
Email marketing is a a must-have for any nonprofit. This video tutorial shows you how to embed your opt-in form using Flodesk. (sidenote: I LOVE Flodesk) But regardless of the email marketing software you use, the process to embed your form will likely be very similar.
Step 4. Transfer or buy your domain.
To buy a domain go to SETTINGS > DOMAINS > GET A DOMAIN
Step 5. Purchase a plan and go live!
Simply click on the banner on the bottom of your page or go to SETTINGS > SITE AVAILABILITY > UPGRADE TO PUBLISH. I recommend the business plan. You will automatically get 20% off for the year for purchasing a template with us. I would definitely recommend paying annually instead of monthly to get full advantage of this discount.
CONGRATULATIONS, YOU’VE GOT A SPARKLY NEW WEBSITE!
