How do I connect Squarespace?

Connecting SEObot with Squarespace

Since Squarespace's platform doesn't provide direct API integration, we can't connect it directly with SEObot. However, there's a practical workaround: using WordPress as a bridge.

Why WordPress?

  • Squarespace has built-in WordPress import functionality via XML files

  • WordPress offers robust API support

  • It's a reliable intermediary for content transfer

  • Maintains formatting and structure during the transfer

Implementation Process:

  1. Set up a temporary WordPress site. Choose a cheap and easy-to-set-up provider. More info: WordPress Hosting and Best Managed WordPress Hosting Compared (2025)

  2. Connect SEObot to publish to WordPress in Menu -> Connect my Blog -> WordPress.org

  3. Export from WordPress:

    • Go to WordPress Dashboard

    • Navigate to Tools > Export

    • Select "Posts" in the Export options

    • Click "Download Export File" to save the XML

  4. Import content into Squarespace

    • Go to Settings -> Advanced -> Import/Export

    • Select "Import" -> "WordPress"

    • Upload your WordPress XML file

    • Wait for import to complete (may take several minutes)

  5. Review and organize imported content in Squarespace

Limitations:

  • Real-time automation isn't possible

  • Manual export/import required

While not ideal, this solution provides a functional way to use SEObot blog posts on your Squarespace site.
