Website titles can appear in browser tabs, search engine results, and social shares, impacting your site's visibility and branding. Here's how to effectively manage your website title in Squarespace.

Changing Your Website Title

• Click Edit in the upper left corner
• Hover over header and click Edit Site Header
• Click site title/logo, then the pencil icon
• Enter title (120 character limit)
• Click Save or Exit and Save

Version 7.0:

Customizing Title Display

Font Customization (Version 7.1):

• Open Site Styles
• Click Fonts > Allocate styles
• Select Site Title or Site Title mobile
• Choose style and font size
• Save changes

Additional Considerations:

• Website title always links to homepage
• Avoid using angle brackets in title text
• Keep title text even when using logo (helps with alt text)
• Title appears in header/upper corner of each page
• Can be replaced with logo

SEO and Search Results

To optimize search visibility:

• Configure SEO title format for browser tabs and search results
• Submit site to Google Search Console for updates
• Request reindexing if changes don't appear

Pro Tips:

• Different SEO title format useful when:
  • Wanting different search/browser display
  • Using logo instead of text title
  • Adding keywords without on-site display
• Logo clicks direct to homepage
• Some templates show text title on mobile even with logo

This setup ensures proper branding across all platforms while maintaining good SEO practices.
