Demo Content in Squarespace: Locate, Replace, and Delete

Every Squarespace site includes demo pages and pre-loaded content to showcase features and layout possibilities. This content uses noindex tags to prevent search engine indexing until you begin editing.

Important: Replace all demo content before upgrading to a paid subscription.
