Direct Answer: Squarespace Default Snippet Behavior

Squarespace includes a global 'SEO Title Format' setting under Marketing > SEO that defaults to '%s — Site Title'. When Squarespace users enter their business name inside the individual page SEO Title field (e.g., 'Handmade Pots | Earth & Clay'), Squarespace appends the site title again, producing 'Handmade Pots | Earth & Clay — Earth & Clay Studio' and causing severe 700px+ truncation in Google search results.

How to Stop Squarespace From Doubling Your Site Title in Google

Technical deep dive into Squarespace metadata structure and Google rendering

A notorious pitfall for Squarespace site owners is the double title branding effect. Squarespace 7.1 manages title output through three distinct layers:

Site Title: Configured in Site Header & Branding settings.
SEO Title Format: Found in Marketing > SEO, which contains template placeholders like %s — %s or %s — Site Title.
Page-Level SEO Title: Found in individual Page Settings > SEO.

When the SEO Title Format is set to %s — Site Title, Squarespace automatically grabs whatever you typed in the page-level SEO box (represented by %s) and tacks on the site title separated by an em-dash. If you manually included your brand in the page SEO box, your title gets rendered twice.

The Fix: Change your Squarespace Pages SEO Title Format in Marketing > SEO to simply %s. This gives you 100% control over exact title length and pixel width in the OmniSEO simulator without surprise brand duplications.

How to Configure Squarespace Meta Tags (Step-by-Step)

Four proven steps to prevent title truncation and maximize organic CTR in Squarespace

1
Test Squarespace Title Formats in Simulator
Enter your planned page title in the simulator to verify if adding your site title exceeds the 600px desktop or 580px mobile truncation threshold.
2
Clean Global SEO Title Format in Squarespace
Log in to Squarespace, go to Marketing > SEO, and change the 'Pages' SEO Title Format from `%s — %s` to simply `%s`.
3
Input Custom Page SEO Titles & Descriptions
Open Pages, hover over any page, click the Gear icon (Settings), select SEO, and paste your pixel-validated Title and Description.
4
Verify Clean URL Slugs
Under Page Settings > General, ensure your URL slug is short, lowercase, and keyword-rich to keep breadcrumb displays tidy in Google SERPs.

Squarespace SERP Snippet Optimization FAQ

Frequently asked questions regarding Squarespace search snippet customization

How do I fix duplicated site titles in Squarespace search results?

To fix duplicated site titles, go to your Squarespace dashboard > Marketing > SEO. In the 'SEO Title Format' section, edit the 'Pages' field and change it from `%s — %s` or `%s — Site Title` to just `%s`. This prevents Squarespace from automatically appending a second site title to your pages.

Does Squarespace automatically generate meta descriptions for blog posts?

Yes. If you leave the Page SEO Description empty, Squarespace may fall back to the post excerpt or the first few sentences of visible body copy. However, manually authoring a targeted 140–155 character description in the post's SEO settings yields far higher Click-Through Rates (CTR).

How do I customize Squarespace URL slugs to prevent SERP truncation?

To shorten and customize a Squarespace URL slug, click the Gear icon next to any page in the Pages panel, navigate to the General tab, and edit the 'URL Slug' field. Use hyphen-separated lowercase words (e.g. `/ceramic-mugs`) instead of lengthy dates or generic IDs.
