The importance of a Google business listing.
Having your Squarespace website linked to your Google Business Profile is one of the easiest ways to improve your online visibility and help potential customers find and trust your business.
When you add your website to your Google Business Profile, customers can go directly from your Google listing to your website to learn more about your services, browse your work, and contact you. It creates a more professional online presence and gives people confidence that your business is established and legitimate.
A well-built Squarespace website also complements your Google Business Profile by providing information that doesn't fit within a Google listing, such as detailed service pages, testimonials, galleries, FAQs, pricing, and online booking. This helps turn people who find you on Google into paying customers.
Another key benefit is local search visibility. A complete Google Business Profile that includes an up-to-date website, accurate contact details, and consistent business information can improve your chances of appearing in local search results and Google Maps. The more complete and relevant your online presence, the easier it is for customers to choose your business over competitors.
Your Google Business Profile and your Squarespace website work best together. Google helps people discover your business, while your website gives them the information they need to take the next step—whether that's making an enquiry, booking a service, or making a purchase.
If your website isn't connected to your Google Business Profile yet, you're missing an opportunity to attract more local customers and increase your credibility online.

Google Business Profile + Squarespace
Think of it this way:

For the best results, make sure the business name, phone number, address/service area, opening hours and services are consistent across your Google listing and Squarespace website.
