Squarespace to Shopify, without losing your Google rankings.
Squarespace is built for good-looking websites, and Shopify is built for selling. We move your shop across, keep the look, and redirect every old address so the rankings come with you.

Why shops leave Squarespace
Squarespace suits a small range of products. Shops that grow usually want more from the checkout, more apps for reviews, subscriptions and email, and more control over collections and filters.
Squarespace product addresses sit under your shop page and do not match Shopify, so every one needs a redirect or the pages Google ranks today stop working.
Your addresses will change
Squarespace and Shopify structure their URLs differently, so every important address needs a redirect. Usually it looks like this:
/shop/p/rose-face-oilredirects to /products/rose-face-oil/shop?category=Skincareredirects to /collections/skincare/journal/how-to-use-face-oilredirects to /blogs/news/how-to-use-face-oilWe map the real addresses from your store before the move, including any that do not follow the usual pattern.
What needs a plan
Digital and service products
Physical products move across cleanly. Digital downloads, services and gift cards are set up on Shopify one by one, so check the list with us first.
Members areas and scheduling
Squarespace member sites and scheduling do not come with the move. We list what you use and the Shopify app or alternative for each.
Customer passwords
Passwords cannot be moved between platforms. Customers are invited to set a new one, and their details come across.
A like-for-like move, done properly
- Products, variants, images, collections, customers and order history moved across
- Pages and blog posts moved, with their meta titles and descriptions
- Every old URL redirected to its new Shopify address
- A standard Shopify theme matched to your current look
- A before-and-after Google rankings report 30 days after launch
It is a like-for-like move, so a redesign or custom theme work is quoted separately.

Our rankings guarantee
If your Google clicks are more than 10% below where they were before the move, 60 days after launch, we keep working on it free until they are back. Any redirect we missed is fixed free for 90 days.
The rankings promise assumes no big changes to the site in those 60 days, so we are comparing like with like.
SEO people who do migrations
A migration is mostly an SEO job: knowing which pages bring in your traffic and making sure every one of them still works on the new store. That is the work we have done for online shops for years. Two of them:
Who does your migration
A small team. The person who maps your store is the person who moves it.
Matthew Ludlow
Runs every migration
Matt maps the old store, moves it to Shopify and checks every redirect after launch. He is the person you deal with from first message to rankings report.
Mike McDonnell
Founder, the SEO side
Mike built Glide on SEO for online shops and local businesses. The way we protect rankings in a move comes from that work.
Questions about moving from Squarespace
Yes. Your domain moves to point at Shopify on launch day, so customers and Google find the shop at the same address.
Yes. Blog posts move to Shopify with their titles and descriptions, and every old post address is redirected to its new one.
Not if the move is done properly, which is the whole point of how we do it. Every old address is redirected to its new page, your page titles and descriptions come across, and we check it all on launch day. If clicks are more than 10% down 60 days after launch, we keep working on it free.
£1,495 + VAT for up to 100 products and £2,950 + VAT for up to 1,000. Bigger stores are quoted. After launch, an optional care plan is £145 + VAT a month.
It is a like-for-like move, so a redesign or custom theme work is quoted separately. So is anything that needs building from scratch, which we price before we start.
