Optimizing SEO That Ranks Your Brand. Creating Websites That Elevate Your Brand.
SEO IT, Graphic Design:
Being a Search results expert and a creative thinker, a graphic designer utilizing creative skills to shape the perception of a brand or product while engaging with new technologies, and a Brand Strategist, achieving a dream made me analyze different factors from both worlds to answer a tricky question.

Ranking and elevating a brand depends on various factors, namely, Website builder and templates, target keywords, SEO plugins, and many other factors; read an example of meta descriptions I do. Visual concepts are crucial in building a brand identity by effectively communicating ideas and information through design elements like shapes, colors, and typography.
Remind Me brand message:
Uncountable factors and an added skill set in design made me realize my true potential.
I decided to give my 100% to designing the best portfolio website and leverage different SEO tactics to rank my website. In my design work, I focused on creating artistic or decorative effects to enhance visual aesthetics and communicate ideas effectively.
Create it
The tiniest details were subjected to many rounds of improvement.
Example - Meta descriptions.
Using Primary/Focus Keywords
Unique and active voice
Keeping words at 155 characters.
Creating impactful brand identities is not something I identify as a business but a creative outlet. Design elements play a crucial role in creating visually appealing and practical designs. When I thought about making my brand, I had to stand out so I wouldn’t get lost among millions.
Ruslan Meaning:
Life before the internet was like a professional hide-and-seek game, but now it’s all about delivering the best results with great fulfillment. And I was all for it!
Hence, to rank my brand, I had to rank by my name, Ruslan. It’s a popular name in Caucasian culture.
It is a Russian variant of the Turkic word Arslan or Aslan. Ruslan’s name meaning is “Lion”. This was the primary inspiration for creating my own brand identity.
My first step into the world of strategists was doing the HV tech festival’s strategic research planning and optimizing organic search results.
This experience made me think about starting my own branding or marketing agency, which is how I developed an Omni approach to my skills.
This leads me to apply this omnipresent approach to choosing the best platform from a branding and search engine perspective.
Options - WordPress V/S SquareSpace
Squarspace it
After researching everything from WordPress themes to Squarespace themes, I observed that the structure of the content of both platforms is very different.
Most graphic designers use specialized graphic design software to prepare their designs effectively, which is crucial for professional development and job readiness.
But personally, Squarespace’s design caught my eye and made me curious about it.
Booked it? Great!
Creating a website, writing words that rank due to SEO, and designing a brand or a portfolio are not easy tasks.
But I know one thing which is harder than it.
Visual elements, such as buttons, color schemes, and other interactive features, are crucial components that designers manipulate to enhance user experience in web design.
So that the readers can connect with your story!
But you may have the following question.
“I won’t go much into the technical aspects of “how to make a Squarespace website on a local computer” or complex topics like MySQL database or FTP client server. ”
— Ruslan Smirnov
But instead, it is something that gives meaning to a website—a story. Graphic designers work in various settings and environments, including advertising, marketing, and publishing industries, and may operate as freelancers or within agencies and companies.
SEO it at Squarspase.
Building this Squarespace website was also a means of training my English.
I started my blog, and there were many creative ways to practice English, like writing product descriptions and blog posts. It was the beginning of my training in the art of storytelling.
I first worked with Squarespace 7.0 templates. The information I received at the General Assembly UX Design Course was beneficial. Internships are crucial for aspiring graphic designers to gain practical experience and learn from professionals. I then started searching for user research jobs. Using templates to create something different is essential. You don’t want to create duplicate content or pages on your site. The goal is to be original and stand out.
Interlinking your unique pages will boost your SEO; hence, quality content will increase your conversion rate, too.
The Brine Squarespace template was my favorite. In particular, index pages look amazing. This is my SEO strategy based on this template family.
Based on my LinkedIn audience network:
Learning and training skills are critical, but making a portfolio is not the same as running an e-commerce site. That’s why I need to find a job, but first, I need to grow an audience network, so I started my Manhattan trips.
My LinkedIn network grew pretty fast, but I did not know anything about LinkedIn’s audience at the time. Many graphic designers explore career paths and work environments, transitioning into specialized fields like augmented and virtual reality. My LinkedIn audience is around 5000 followers. It’s hard to understand how long potential employers look at resumes if you are not a job seeker.
My network on linkedin:
Week after week, search for the right job employer on LinkedIn, or other job boards, and do not know about ATS-optimized resumes, or how to help job descriptions during a remote job search.
When I started thinking about my own eCommerce SEO strategy, I asked my friend: How is Squarespace for SEO? Will it affect SEO and ranking based on search volume?
Building a website is difficult, so I had to analyze everything from software, its effect on SEO, and SEO research, from long-tail keywords to SEO plugins.
The friend knew I found SEO tips on the Squarespace platform from the research. I realized that the tools on this platform should efficiently work with keyword optimization in blogs as well as meta description tags and titles.
As I understand, my goal is a platform on which I can build an SEO-friendly website with beautifully made portfolio templates and blog pages.
I started growing my skills as a local SEO strategist:
I am not a native English speaker, and with a different background, it will be hard to find a job, so my goal was to polish & improve my English. To become a graphic designer, one must follow various pathways and acquire qualifications, such as education, skill development, and portfolio building. I started a blog to practice my English.
I posted blog entries daily, but what can a job seeker write? After much thought, I wrote “What User Experience is for a Strategist.
I enjoyed my trips to Manhattan; there were memorable moments and events. I spent days waiting for the next job alert on my LinkedIn and spending days in NYC.
I now have many benefits as a Squarespace Circle member. I am also learning WordPress, but I was learning and enjoying American life in those days. That's how I started building my portfolio.
My portfolio as a Squarespace SEO specialist:
When I started building my portfolio website, I planned to show the world the life of a creative strategist searching for a job in the United States.
To do this, I used symbols from my favorite book, The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
Visual elements play a crucial role in my creative work, particularly in manipulating graphic design and UI design components like buttons, color schemes, and other interactive features to enhance user experience.
Optimize it
I remember how I set up my Google Analytics and webmaster profile. It was hard to believe this memory will be with me forever. Graphic design software plays a crucial role in professional development and job readiness for graphic designers, providing them with a competitive edge.
Everything was going great: my portfolio was growing in search engines, and I received job applications weekly. Everything started changing when the site builder changed the version. Now, I am learning 7.1.
That's what I learned during this time: even though Squarespace as the site builder is not SEO-friendly, you have everything to grow your Squarespace sites in all search engine results if you understand what search engine optimization is.
At the same time, you have many benefits, such as a beautifully made template design and an excellent user interface.
The problem is that SEO content strategy does not work everywhere.
Optimizing content on an e-commerce site is usually not easy.
If I compare Squarespace 7.0 and 7.1 in the same article, it’s impossible to describe them so differently. It is designed, but the main difference is that the 7.0 solution is perfect for portfolio pages, while the 7.1 version is an e-commerce platform.
Squarespace 7.1 version has many benefits for e-commerce sites. Some relate to product categories, breadcrumb navigation, and product-category pages. Hence, this was the main reason I started learning WordPress.
Chose it today:
Choosing which platform, hosting account, or template can be overwhelming.
If you want to make a sound decision and save your effort, time, and money, choosing the right platform is crucial. Understanding the importance of design software in this process can make a significant difference.

Squarespace V/S WordPress, from the point of SEO, the main difference is:
SEO for Squarespace websites is not as complicated as that for WordPress sites.
Graphic designers work in various settings and environments, including advertising, marketing, and publishing industries. So, choosing the best platform is essential, or migrating your site can be a hassle. Manual migration is a time-intensive process, regardless of whether you are migrating WordPress or any other content management system.
WordPress’s functionality depends largely on plugins. For example, you can’t connect your WordPress website to the Google search console without a plugin. Otherwise, it can optimize title tags and meta descriptions. Did I start researching how to add breadcrumbs to Squarespace's portfolio and realize it’s possible to add breadcrumbs to an eCommerce website?
Don’t worry about sounding professional. It sounds like you. There are over 1.5 billion. This was my primary method of searching for a job and growing my skills with Squarespace. For example, my first trip to Woodbury Commons shopping center in Central Valley, New York, seemed like a fairytale job application story.
But this reality changed when the pandemic began. We live in an online world of social media and advertising. For me, an SEO Strategist, this part of a quarantined lifestyle was not unusual.
The rise of advertising and technology can make you question what's real. I went through this, too. But my trips to NYC pulled me back into reality and showed me the path forward—research.
TTR SEO:
I plan to research and work professionally in a group. Based on my research on SEO for eCommerce websites, which looks different in the post-pandemic world, I started using Semrush tools to understand how eCommerce businesses work. Specialized design services play a crucial role in various industries, including publishing, advertising, and those requiring creative marketing and technical expertise.
The Squarespace Circle program has great benefits. Besides that, now I have a portfolio in WordPress, which helps me compare results to get a clear view, which inspired me to start Remindable, an SEO strategy studio. Learning breadcrumbs for SEO enabled me to drive high organic traffic to my portfolio site.
Driving traffic to a site became one of my critical skills. But it was only organic traffic, which took a while to develop. Paid traffic like PPC gave good traffic results in less time. Combining both of these skills will make me exceptional in the market.
I started working with TTR LLS, a truck and trailer company. The business goal was to get more customers by redesigning the website, and providing SEO optimized content so TTR LLC ranks for their local area with specific keywords.
This experience enabled me to research the benefits of drag-and-drop platforms like the Elementor plugin and Squarespace. I also researched the Gary, Indiana map to understand the marketing strategy of truck tire shops.

Many developers, designers, and marketers are happy with this WordPress plugin. I spend a lot of time building my portfolio sites and reading Squarespace eCommerce reviews, as well as those of other builder platforms for professionals.
Building a new site involves a lot of work, e.g., creating a new database for content marketing, easy yet essential tasks like setting up new usernames and passwords, and important micro tasks like changing canonical tags.
I went through this journey of learning, and I never stopped.
I built my first WordPress website using the platform Wordpress.com and migrated my site.
All of these were contributing factors to made me an expert in this field.
I am doing all of this to help you achieve high traffic for your site and design the best website that converts that traffic.
