  Question about subdomain SEO, Squarespace x Next.js

  Posted by seohelper on July 3, 2021 at 1:38 am

  SEO Beginner.

  I have a client with an existing Squarespace site and they’ve tasked us with building an improved user experience for displaying some information they have on a CMS.

  We’ve built a Next.js application for their improved UI, and essentially we want the application to feel like it’s a part of their Squarespace site (we’ve mimicked their branding etc…).

  The solution we’ve thought of is to host our Next.js application on a subdomain and have the Squarespace & Next application just link to each other.

  I’m wondering about important SEO considerations that I should be thinking of with regards to this solution. Any advice/pointers/critiques are welcome.

  THANK YOU

  I wouldn’t recommend Squarespace at all. WordPress is the way to go in terms of SEO.

  Some people disagree with me, but I’m not a fan of subdomains for SEO. Why? Because aside from some very specific products for a manufacturer or retailer, I almost NEVER see a subdomain in a search result.
