Migrate to Squarespace
Migrating to Squarespace means moving an existing website, most often from WordPress, onto the Squarespace platform without losing your content, your rankings, or your email. We rebuild your pages on Squarespace, map every old URL to its new home with 301 redirects, and protect the search authority you have already earned.

What it is
What does migrating to Squarespace involve?
Migrating to Squarespace is the process of moving your existing site's content, structure, and design onto Squarespace, then redirecting your old web addresses to the new ones so visitors and search engines land in the right place. The goal is a clean switch where your pages look right, your links still work, and your search rankings survive the move.
It matters most when you are leaving a platform that has become hard to maintain, usually WordPress, and want Squarespace's all-in-one hosting and editor instead. Because Squarespace is a closed platform, your old plugins and custom code do not carry over, so part of migrating is rebuilding that functionality with Squarespace's native features. We are honest about what moves cleanly and what needs a rethink before you commit.

Why it matters
Why a careful migration matters
Done carefully, a migration gives you an easier platform without throwing away the search authority you built.
Rankings preserved
Mapped 301 redirects carry your existing authority to the new URLs so rankings are protected through the move.
Less maintenance
Squarespace handles hosting, security, and updates, so there are no more plugin conflicts to manage.
Cleaner site
Migration is a chance to drop dead pages and outdated design, not just copy them across.
Who this is best for
The right fit
Best fit when
You are on WordPress or another platform that has become a maintenance burden, you want Squarespace's hosting and editor, and you cannot afford to lose the rankings or traffic you already have.
You might not need this
If your site is already on Squarespace and you mainly want it to rank better, you do not need a migration, you need Squarespace SEO and AI Visibility. Migration is for moving onto the platform, not improving a site already there.
FAQs
Common questions about migrating to Squarespace
Will I lose my Google rankings when I move to Squarespace?
Not if the migration is done properly. The key is mapping every old URL to its new one with 301 redirects, which passes your search authority across. Most sites hold their rankings through the move, with any short-term dip recovering as search engines re-crawl the new structure.
Do my WordPress plugins transfer to Squarespace?
No. Squarespace is a closed platform with no plugin marketplace, so plugins do not carry over. We rebuild the functionality you actually use, like forms, galleries, or booking, with Squarespace's native features or supported third-party embeds.
How long does a Squarespace migration take?
It depends on the size of the site and how much needs rebuilding rather than copying. A small brochure site is quick, while a large site with many pages and custom features takes longer. We give you a realistic timeline after the audit instead of a guess up front.
Can you move my content without rebuilding everything from scratch?
We move your actual content, the text, images, and media, rather than recreating it by hand. The design and any plugin features do need rebuilding on Squarespace, because the platforms work differently, but your words and assets come with you.
Will my email still work after migrating?
Yes. Email is tied to your domain, not your website platform, so we point your domain to Squarespace while leaving your email service in place. We confirm mail is flowing before and after the switch so nothing drops.
What happens to my old site during the migration?
We build and test the new Squarespace site separately while your current site stays live, so there is no downtime for visitors. We only switch the domain over once the new site and all redirects are verified.
