 "summary": "SEO tool built exclusively for Squarespace, delivered as a Chrome extension paired with a web dashboard. The extension runs inside the Squarespace editor and on live pages, scoring each page and saying in plain language what to change and where the setting lives; the dashboard adds site-wide audits, keyword rank tracking, backlink and competitor data, local SEO tools and scheduled white-label PDF client reports. Pricing is keyed to the number of websites rather than seats, which is why it suits freelancers and studios managing client sites.",
 "best_for": "Squarespace freelancers and studios billing for several client sites. Pricing by number of websites rather than per seat, multi-site dashboards and white-label PDF reports are things the big per-seat SEO suites never bothered to build for Squarespace. And the extension tells you where the setting actually lives in the editor. Above the three published tiers sits a quote-only Reseller plan for unlimited client sites, which is where a studio outgrowing Expert's ten websites has to go",
 "skip_if": "you run a single Squarespace 7.1 site and have no clients. Squarespace's own free SEO panel, AI-generated descriptions and AI Visibility now cover much of what you would be paying for. And the free plan here will tell you whether the paid layer adds anything for your site before you spend",
 "honest_knock": "Squarespace has been quietly absorbing the job this tool was invented for. The platform's own SEO panel, checklist, sitemaps and structured data are free, and its AI-suggested titles, descriptions and alt text are available on Fluid Engine 7.1. On 7 July 2026 it announced AI Visibility, brand tracking across AI search, included on 7.1 plans with no extra subscription. It is metered against plan-varying AI credits rather than unlimited. If you own a single Squarespace site, a large share of what you would pay for here is now a friendlier wrapper around something the platform already does. The tool earns its keep on volume and client work, not on one site. Note too what the disclaimer under their own plan cards says out loud — “All plans include every feature. No artificial restrictions.” — so moving up the ladder buys site slots, not a better tool. One thing arrived after that promise, though: Orbit, a five-agent AI layer added since August, sits on its own card as a second subscription at $119 a month or $952 a year (read 16 September and 4 October 2026), so the feature that is currently being marketed hardest is the one no plan includes.",

  "notes": "(prices read 2026-09-16 and re-read unchanged on 2026-10-04 on seospace.co, where the plan cards and the page's own pricing script both carry the figures) Three named tiers plus a free plan. Billed monthly, which is the toggle's default, Starter is $18.99, Pro $49.99 and Expert $129.99 a month. Billed annually they are $151.92, $399.92 and $1,039.92 a year — each exactly eight times the monthly rate, so a year costs twelve months for the price of eight and the effective rates are $12.66, $33.33 and $86.66 a month. The tiers buy capacity rather than capability: 1, 3 and 10 websites; 100, 500 and unlimited audited pages; 50, 200 and 500 AI credits a month; 25, 100 and 500 tracked keywords; monthly, weekly and (marked coming soon) daily scheduled reports. Extra seats cost $10 a month on Pro and $15 on Expert. A Reseller tier for unlimited client sites is quote-only. The free plan scans up to 50 live pages through the Chrome extension with no card, and every paid tier carries a 7-day trial. New since August: Orbit, a five-agent AI layer, is sold as a separate add-on at $119 a month or $952 a year on top of a subscription. This reading replaces the one of 2026-08-17, when the same product was sold through a websites slider that published a single figure ($33.33 a month for a 5-website Pro); the ladder has been renamed and re-cut since, Pro now covers 3 websites, and the MOST POPULAR badge has moved from Pro to Starter.",
