Tips to Improve your Website's SEO Performance | Squarespace
The top 9 SEO strategies · 1. Use headers strategically · 2. Keep URL slugs clean · 3. Add meta descriptions · 4. Add unlinked content · 5.
unlinked pages
While your homepage and navigation tabs offer finite room for linking content, don’t feel limited by layout restrictions. Search engines still recognize and index <anchor>unlinked pages</anchor>, which contribute to your overall SEO value. The quality of your content is essential here and outshines quantity—you don’t need to publish a high volume of pages to improve your rankings. Search engines favor unlinked pages that clearly relate to your audience, regardless of how many you include.

Please use this form to submit a request regarding a deceased Squarespace customer’s site or Acuity Scheduling account. Our deepest condolences go out to you and your family during this time, and we appreciate your patience as we work through your request.

Due to privacy concerns and restrictions, we unfortunately can't provide you with administrative control of the site. However, if an immediate family member or legal representative completes the form below, we may be able to grant Billing permissions so the site can remain active or cancel any active subscriptions.

Note that Billing permissions don't include the ability to edit the site's content. You can read more about this [**here**](https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/206537297-Squarespace-permissions-explained).

**A note regarding Squarespace 5 sites:**

Squarespace 5, our legacy platform, doesn't allow permissions to be edited. However, we can cancel or remove the site.

**A note regarding Acuity Scheduling accounts:**

Granting billing permissions is not possible on Acuity accounts without a Squarespace login. However, we can cancel or remove the account.

The Not linked section

# The Not linked section

Last updated January 30, 2024 16:04

## Sections

#### Hide pages from your navigation menus.

The Not linked section of the pages panel holds pages that don't show in your site's navigation menu. In this guide, you'll learn about this section and how to use it when building and sharing your site.

Not linked is at the bottom of the panel. You can [add new pages](https://support.squarespace.com/hc/articles/205814778) or [drag and drop existing pages](https://support.squarespace.com/hc/articles/206543897#toc-remove-a-page-from-navigation--move-it-to-not-linked-) to it.

## Watch a video

## How visitors and search engines interact with Not linked pages

Although Not linked pages are hidden from navigation menus, they’re public by default unless you take additional steps to hide them completely. Visitors can access them by clicking links to them or entering their URLs directly. Search engines can also index Not linked pages, meaning they could appear in search results.

If you think of main navigation as what’s on the table, Not linked is what’s in the cabinets, available if you know where to look.

## Hide Not linked pages

To hide individual Not linked pages from visitors and search engines, you can:

- [Add passwords](https://support.squarespace.com/hc/articles/205814618) if you have pages only specific people should access.
- [Disable them](https://support.squarespace.com/hc/articles/206543067#toc-disable-a-page) if you only want contributors to the site to access them.
- [Hide them from search engines](https://support.squarespace.com/hc/articles/360022347072) while keeping them accessible to visitors.

## Share and link to Not linked pages

You can keep pages that don't need to go in navigation menus in Not linked and direct visitors to them in other ways, including:

- [Add text links on other pages](https://support.squarespace.com/hc/articles/206543827)
- [Add buttons linking to them using button blocks](https://support.squarespace.com/hc/articles/206543907)
- [Link images to them using clickthrough URLs](https://support.squarespace.com/hc/articles/206542427)
- [Share their links elsewhere](https://support.squarespace.com/hc/articles/219311968), like in [Email Campaigns](https://support.squarespace.com/hc/articles/360001280588) or on [social media](https://support.squarespace.com/hc/articles/206543937)

## Store pages in Not linked

If you’re working on new pages or redesigning existing pages, you can disable them in Not linked without visitors seeing your work. When you're ready to publish, enable the pages and move them from Not linked into a navigation section so they display in a menu.

You can also store old pages you want to keep for your own reference but don't want visitors to access. To do this, move the pages to Not linked and disable them.

## Display Not linked collection items on other pages

You can add collection pages, like blog pages, to Not linked, then display collection items, like blog posts, elsewhere on your site. This way, you have additional options for how to display and arrange different content. To learn more, visit [Collection pages](https://support.squarespace.com/hc/articles/208216828#toc-displaying-collection-items-on-other-pages).
