Build an AI-Assisted Squarespace Site

1. Log in to your Squarespace account and open the site editor.
2. Navigate to the page that needs copy: your homepage, an about page, or a services page.
3. Click into the text section you want the AI to help draft.

What you should see: Your normal page editor with the text block selected and ready to edit. Troubleshooting: If you cannot find an AI writing option in the toolbar, check that your plan includes Squarespace's AI features, since some legacy plans predate them.

1. Look for an AI or "write with AI" option near the text block toolbar.
2. Describe what you need in plain language: your studio's focus, the tone you want, and roughly how long the section should be.
3. Generate a draft and read it fully.
4. Edit it in your own voice. Swap in details only you would know: a specific venue you love shooting at, an actual number of years in business, a real client story.

What you should see: A draft appear in the text block, ready to edit directly on the page. Troubleshooting: If the draft reads generic or overstates something about your business (an award you have not actually won, a turnaround time you do not really offer), rewrite that line yourself before publishing. Never let an AI-drafted claim about your business go live unchecked.

1. Find the SEO tools section, often under site settings or marketing.
2. Run the scanner and review the report of missing or weak SEO fields: page titles, meta descriptions, image alt text.
3. Use the generated suggestions as a starting point for each empty field.
4. Edit every suggestion so it accurately describes what that page actually offers.

What you should see: A report listing each page and what SEO field is missing, with a way to generate and insert a suggestion for each one. Troubleshooting: If a generated meta description mentions a service area or specialty you do not actually offer, correct it before saving. A meta description that overpromises brings in the wrong inquiries.

1. Open a new blog post and describe the shoot: the type of session, the location, a couple of specific highlights.
2. Generate a draft with the AI writer.
3. Read it against what actually happened at that shoot. Fix any detail the AI guessed at rather than pulled from what you described.
4. Add your images and publish.

What you should see: A structured blog post draft with a title, intro and body, ready for your edits and images. Troubleshooting: If the draft invents a detail (a location, a couple's name, a season) that you did not provide, remove or correct it rather than leaving a guess in a published post.

1. If your plan includes an AI visibility or AI overview scanner, run it.
2. Review how the tool reports your business appearing in AI-generated answers from tools like a general chatbot or search assistant.
3. Note any recommendations and decide which are worth acting on.

What you should see: A summary report showing your current visibility and a short list of suggestions. Troubleshooting: Treat this report as a directional signal, not a guarantee. Search and AI answer behavior changes often, so recheck periodically rather than treating one report as final.
