    Search Engine Optimization (SEO) enables you to optimize your website pages for search engine results, but you can also add SEO information to items and categories you’re selling online to help them rank better. One of the first steps to take is to edit the SEO settings for both your items and categories.

    Before you begin

    It can take a number of weeks for new Square Online sites to be indexed and unindexed in search engine listings, and even longer for a site to show up in the results for specific keywords.
