For Squarespace Sites

SEO for Squarespace Sites

Research keywords, audit your site, and publish AI-drafted articles straight into your Squarespace blog.

Squarespace makes a site look polished fast, but the platform doesn't do keyword research or technical SEO auditing for you. Illumae connects directly to Squarespace's Writing API — so keyword research, technical audits, and AI-drafted articles lead to real posts on your own Squarespace blog. From £40/month per domain, or free to start.

Publish Drafts Straight to Your Squarespace Blog

AI content generation drafts full articles from a target keyword, and — once you connect your Squarespace API key in Integrations — Illumae publishes that draft directly to your Squarespace blog via the Writing API, carrying its own SEO title and meta description. Every draft runs through a fact-consistency audit before publishing, checking for internal contradictions and unhedged claims about specific figures.

Find the Keywords Worth Writing About

keyword research and rank tracking gives you real search volume and difficulty data for any keyword, then tracks your organic Google ranking for the ones you target — so you're publishing with evidence behind the topic, not a guess.

Audit the Technical Side Squarespace Leaves to You

Squarespace handles hosting and design, but it doesn't crawl your live site for SEO issues on its own. site audit crawls your entire site and returns a health score with a prioritised, page-by-page fix list — flagging broken links, missing meta tags, slow-loading pages, and images without alt text.

Check Who's Linking to Your Site

backlink checker shows domain authority and spam-risk banding for every backlink pointing to your site. If you find links worth disavowing, Illumae generates a properly formatted Google disavow file — you submit it yourself through Search Console, since no API lets a third-party tool do that automatically.

How the Squarespace Connection Actually Works

Illumae publishes to Squarespace using its Writing API and an API key you generate through Squarespace's developer platform and enter in Integrations. A published Illumae article becomes a real post on your Squarespace blog, not a file you import by hand.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Squarespace extension installed to use Illumae?+

No extension required — Illumae connects using Squarespace's own Writing API. You generate an API key from Squarespace's developer platform and enter it in Illumae's Integrations screen.

Does Illumae replace Squarespace's own SEO settings?+

No. Squarespace's site-wide SEO settings (like your site title format and page-level descriptions set in the Squarespace editor) stay something you manage in Squarespace directly. Illumae's published articles carry their own SEO title and meta description alongside that, for the content Illumae publishes specifically.

What happens if the Squarespace connection fails partway through publishing?+

Illumae reports the specific error rather than silently failing — for example, an invalid or expired API key returns a clear authentication error so you know exactly what to fix in Integrations.

Does the AI content tool know accurate facts about my business?+

Not on its own. Illumae's AI content generation runs every draft through a fact-consistency audit that checks for internal contradictions and unhedged claims about specific figures, but it does not independently verify domain-specific accuracy — a review before publishing is still worthwhile.

Can I try it before paying?+

Yes. The free plan includes 3 AI article generations, keyword research, a content calendar, and a basic dashboard — no card required.
