Will using Squarespace to quickly bootstrap a site burn me down the line?

Longtime developer, total web neophyte here.

I'm looking to quickly spin up a simple landing page for a new company. At the moment we're pre-product and pre-revenue, so SEO is not critical. We just need a page to attach to our domain, so we have a simple web presence for investors, candidates, partners, etc. However down the line, the domain will be a B2C web product, and SEO will be a super-critical component of marketing.

My question is if I throw up a simple website using a one-click solution like Squarespace today, will it burn me down the line? I see a lot of good resources about how to use Wordpress and make other optimizations to SEO. But I don't really understand if I need to do these things from day one, lest I get penalized by Google down the line. Or is it fine to roll a quick-and-dirty solution today, then circle back to SEO optimization later?

In the worse case, I can always leave the domain empty, and use a different domain for corporate presence. But another thing I don't really understand is whether a history of an off-the-shelf Squarespace site, that gets changed later, is better or worse than an empty domain.

Thanks ahead of time for all the responses. Just reading this sub has been super-helpful, and I really appreciate any pointers you experts could throw at my clueless ass.

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

7 SEO Lessons I've Learned in 2025 (So Far) - From Building a Competitor Analysis Tool

Hey r/SEO , I've been spending a lot of time lately building a competitor keyword research tool (more on that below!), and it's really forced me to dig deep into how SEO works today . Here are some of the key lessons I've learned – hopefully, they're helpful to you too: Keyword Gaps Are Gold: It's not enough to just know what keywords your competitors rank for. You need to know what they rank for that you don't . This is where the real opportunities lie. Focusing on these "gap" keywords has been a game-changer for my own site. (This is actually why I built the tool – to make finding these gaps easier). Relevance > Volume (Sometimes): High search volume is great, but relevance is even more important. A keyword with 100 searches per month that's perfectly aligned with your niche and audience is often more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 searches that's only tangentially related. I've seen much better results targeting tho...
