## Questions and answers

### Is Squarespace enough for a service business?

It can be enough for a simple brochure or portfolio site when the owner has a clear message and wants to manage the build. More specialized firms may need a more tailored page strategy and conversion path.

### What is the difference between Squarespace and a web designer?

Squarespace provides software, templates and built-in tools. A web designer or studio can provide the research, content decisions, custom presentation, technical setup and launch accountability around those tools.

### Can Squarespace websites be optimized for search?

Yes. Squarespace includes SEO settings, but search visibility still requires useful page content, intentional keyword targeting, sound site structure and credible authority beyond the platform itself.

### Can SimpleLaunch replace an existing Squarespace site?

Yes. Existing copy, imagery and analytics can inform the rebuild while the new site improves the information hierarchy, industry language, search structure and conversion path.
