Episode Summary
The new Squarespace AI SEO tool offers limited but potentially useful features for beginners, focusing primarily on generating metadata and image alt text. While not a comprehensive solution for serious SEO efforts, it provides a decent starting point for those with no previous optimization.

Episode Key Points

• AI-generated metadata won't improve rankings as Google doesn't use meta descriptions as ranking factors
• The image alt text generator creates reasonably accurate descriptions but sometimes they're excessively long
• Tool might help beginners catch up but won't provide competitive advantage as all Squarespace users have access
• Squarespace works well as an affordable starting point but isn't ideal for long-term business growth
• Recommended approach: use the tool to fill gaps in your SEO foundation, then customize and improve upon the suggestions
• Consider Squarespace a stepping stone toward more robust platforms like WordPress or Wix
